Was always on top of things and great at explaining things to me when I wasn't understanding. Always got back to me quickly as well.

Kirsten Hannig Russell

Darren was so easy to work with. He was quick to respond to all emails and phone calls and was highly professional with all of the matters I needed him to address. He also took the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy for me to understand. At one point, we had a situation that required some special nuance and he went out of his way to make sure it was handled with the best possible outcome. We will definitely be going back to him for any future needs.

Paul Spilker

Darren Watts made every effort to help us cover all the bases. We were well taken care of and we are very happy with our Trust document.

Paul Eden

Darren setup our trust. It was well done at a reasonable price. We appreciate his professionalism, knowledge, and experience as now we know that our estate will be handled the way we want after we pass. Thanks, Darren.

Jordon Thompson

Darren does fantastic work. I had another lawyer draft a contract for my consulting business, but having taken some business law classes in school, I could tell it was lacking something. I contacted Darren to review and rewrite the contracts for me. He did so quickly, and after reviewing them, I feel much more confident about the quality of the contract. I now refer any of my friends who need legal work to Darren.

Kelly Zitting

Darren helped resolve a difficult case for me. Highly recommend him.

Land Refuge

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Watts for an ancillary probate proceeding in the state of Wyoming, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was attentive, responsive, and incredibly professional. Navigating legal matters (especially across state lines) can be overwhelming, but Mr. Watts made the process feel manageable and clear. He was always available to answer my questions, I could always see him in his office, no matter how small, and he consistently made time to talk through any concerns I had. What impressed me most was how thoroughly and efficiently he handled everything. Probate proceedings can sometimes drag on, but he moved things forward quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. His knowledge of Wyoming law and the probate process was clearly evident, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing I was in good hands. If you’re dealing with a real estate or probate/estate matter in Wyoming or Utah, I strongly recommend that you see Mr. Watts right away. He’s not only an excellent attorney but also a kind, dependable professional who genuinely cares about his clients. I will be using him for all my legal needs in the state of Wyoming, as well as in Utah. Highly recommended. 5 stars!
