I hired Justin Watkins after a rear-end collision left me with significant neck and back injuries. His background as a civil engineer from Oregon State was immediately apparent and valuable; he had a clear, methodical approach to analyzing the accident report and the vehicle damage that I found very reassuring. His reputation as an AV Preeminent litigator at Battle Born Injury Lawyers also gave me confidence in his legal acumen. The settlement we ultimately reached was fair and reflected the medical costs and lost wages I incurred. However, the process was not without its frustrations. There were several periods where I went over two weeks without an update, despite leaving messages. When we did connect, his advice was sound, but I often felt I had to initiate the contact to get clarity on next steps. My expectations for proactive communication from a managing partner were not fully met. For straightforward personal injury matters in Las Vegas, Justin has the technical skill and experience to secure a reasonable outcome, but be prepared to manage the client-attorney communication flow yourself.
