OUR FIRM
Building Strong
Client Relationships
Every day, businesses throughout California encounter challenges in many differ-ent areas of law, from contract law to real estate law to employment law and beyond. When you have a legal issue, you need a law firm on which you can rely for consistent quality of service.
The Watkins Firm has served the San Diego business and healthcare communities for more than 40 years. Our tactics and strategies are based upon a proven track record of successful outcomes over four decades.
We’ve “been there, done that.” We have tried nationally prominent cases. Our Founding Partner, Dan Watkins, has appeared on Good Morning America twice over the years. Yet, we are as down to earth as you are. Every business owner, member or shareholder should have three trusted business resources: an experienced business attorney, a CPA/Tax specialist and a banker (source of funding).
We invite you to a conversation. We are prepared to be your go-to legal resource and trusted business advisor. You need someone who will pick up the phone when you call on your best and worst days.
We invite you to review the strong recommendations of our clients and contact the Watkins Firm or call 858-535-1511 for a complimentary consultation today.
At the Watkins Firm, we provide our clients with the services of lawyers who know the law and understand the practical consequences of legal strategies. That is why we have retained many of our clients for decades and continue to attract new clients on a regular basis.
We have developed a proprietary library of successful, proven, contracts which are regularly updated based upon changes in federal, state and local laws, ordinances, regulatory issues and rules. We save our clients substantial money by custom tailoring a proven, battle-tested contract to reflect their unique needs and objectives. In addition, you receive sound advice and counsel from San Diego business attorneys who are business owners themselves.
California is one of the most heavily regulated states in the union. If you are an employer, there is not any other state that is as complicated and challenging as California. We have our own business laws which a download site may not reflect. Why work with a download site when you can have local support in an office you can visit if you like.
