Why watson law?
There are many considerations that go into finding the right attorney for your case. Cost is often an important factor, which is why Watson Law offers a free initial consultation. You can evaluate what we can do for you at no financial risk.
However, there are other factors that are just as important — if not more so — when hiring a criminal defense lawyer.
However, there are other factors that are just as important — if not more so — when hiring a criminal defense lawyer.
- Experience — It’s critical for you to hire a lawyer with the right kind of experience to successfully defend your charge. For example, a lawyer who focuses on personal injury cases may not have the cultivated knowledge to defend a DUI or drug charge. You need a lawyer with a history of successful criminal defense — and defense of the type of charge you face. You need someone who spends time in courtrooms, knows the criminal justice system inside and out, and can put that experience to work for you.
- Communication — When your freedom is on the line, you need a lawyer who will talk to you honestly about your options, explain what you can expect as your case moves through the court system, and communicate what’s happening.
- Accessibility — In a criminal case, it is important to have a defense lawyer who is there for you. You’re going to have questions about your case and about the process, and you’ll get a better outcome when you have a lawyer who returns your calls and is available to answer your questions and give the advice you need about your charge when you need it.
- Dedication — A criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares about the outcome of your case and how it might affect your life will do a better job of defending you against a criminal charge. You need a lawyer who is dedicated to justice and protecting your rights and your future, and who will do everything possible to secure the best possible result for your charge.

Important topics in Montana Criminal Defense
At Watson Law, you will receive straightforward communication about the issues that matter to you when you face a criminal charge. Our attorneys understand that you have many questions that may include a desire for more information about:
- Montana Criminal Court Process — Learn more about the process of a criminal court case in Montana, from the initial investigation to trial and beyond.
- Criminal Investigations — This is when the police interview witnesses and gather evidence that will be used to determine whether prosecutors will file charges against you. It is important to learn about this process and how an attorney can protect your rights.
- Montana Bail Bonds Process — After an arrest, your first thought is usually about getting released from jail as quickly as possible. This may involve posting bail and with a knowledgeable lawyer, this process typically moves much easier.
- Plea Bargains — Learn more about what a plea bargain is and when it might be a good option in a criminal case.
- Search and Seizure — Learn more about your constitutional rights when investigators use searches and seizures to obtain evidence against you, and what Watson Law can do if your rights are violated by police.
- Trial — We are, first and foremost, trial attorneys. While it may not always be in our client’s best interest to go to trial (in fact, it seldom is), we are always prepared to take a case to trial. Our record speaks for itself.
