Evan Watson far exceeded our expectations! To say that a DUI on my record would have hurt my professional career is an understatement. He was able to negotiate the charge down to "failure to yield to a stop sign". Additionally, he convinced the Prosecutor to expunge my record (something they seldom will do). I can not thank Even Watson and his team enough for everything they did for my case. We had several meetings and he kept me informed through the entire process. Most importantly, he was willing to fight! Thanks to Evan Watson, my insurance rates, my reputation, and my name are all protected.

Attorney Evans represented me in a very big felony case. I had googled so many lawyers and called and each one was only keen on taking my money before even speaking with me. He told me to come in. Took more than an hour out of his time to personally hear my story. He saw the fear in my eyes as an immigrant because it meant losing the case could cause me to return home for good after serving a long term. He believed in me and fought hard for me to get my case dismissed. I still can’t believe it as I say this. My case was entirely dismissed from something that would have put me away for almost a decade to something that was dismissed. Of course I did some classes and community service which I was glad to but he fought my case like it was his. Him and his law office saw me multiple times personally and they weren’t too busy for me despite the fact that he had other serious cases, he still took mine like a priority. I would even give him 6 stars if possible. I’m so excited. I feel free and happy all because I had a lawyer who believed in me, cared and fought for me. He always was assuring and never negative about the outcome even though I knew the outcome could be bad. My outcome was excellent. Work with him and you will never ever regret it. I’m a living witness.

As a professional pilot I had a lot riding on the outcome, and the complete handling of my second DUI case. Evan Watson did a fantastic job and the damage I caused myself criminally and professionally was absolutely minimized thanks to Evan’s knowledge and guidance. His approach is confident and straight forward which is very comforting when dealing in such a high stress predicament. My outcome was fantastic and the negative result was very minimal considering what the prosecutors initially outlined and wanted. I’m extremely thankful to Evan Watson from day one. He and his team are always reachable and willing to help in any way. i would completely recommend him and use him in a second although I hope our paths never cross again…. in a legal setting.
Evan Watson is the best you can get! I was in a total FUBAR situation. Seeing how serious it was driving under suspension in Cummings, Ga. I was moved to get a lawyer. I found Evan on Google and saw the reviews. I was impressed and called. Boy I was happy I did. After consulting with him I hired. Next day I go to office and made payment then headed to court. Before I could enter he met me and made me feel like he was really in control. I didn't have to even go to court. After assessment of my situation he got my case postponed for nearly a year until I got all my fines and suspensions time served. I had five different suspensions in five states...plus Ga. After everything was said and done I left court with a promise to get my license. Even after the case was over Evan and his staff was able to secure my release from another state. He is still after the fact helping me currently get my license back. This man is what a lawyer should be. Honest, caring, understanding, willing to fight. Most of all not one lie did he tell me. It was all true what he said. If you are truly searching for a good lawyer and you know you are facing jail call him. Don't play games with your freedom. Maybe he doesn't get a lot of clients because he is honest and caring actually spends time on your case. So I am giving Evan Watson and Staff. 5 stars. Someone on here will be facing jail as I was and will read this review and it will save your life as other reviews for Evan Watson have saved mine. I only hope my review is reviewed as serious and real as my case was just settled on the 14th on February. I thank him for all the help and all the things he has done for me. This review was least I could do.

Evan is top notch, you will see this guy’s name around Atlanta no doubt. He made the prosecution look like they were fresh out of law school if that. He took them to school, judge ruled in our favor, and that was that. You will not find a more qualified and professional attorney in Atlanta. Highly recommend.

I am so thankful for Evan! He has done amazing throughout this whole case! Evan never fails to go above and beyond to do everything he can to help- no matter the situation. He works around my schedule to the best of his ability and surprisingly answers to text messages (which I’ll never find a better way to communicate) I’ll forever recommend people to him!

I hired Evan Watson to represent me after feeling that the first law firm I hired did not have my best interest at heart.
Mr. Watson made me feel like he genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. He explained everything to me very thoroughly and answered any questions I had. I never felt pressure to agree to anything I was unsure of, and he gave me the time needed to make the decisions I felt comfortable with. At the end, the process was smooth and the results were better than I expected. I am very glad I trusted my gut and went elsewhere after my experience with the previous lawyers.
I Highly recommend Mr. Watson!

Evan Watson was a life saver, there's no denying that. He handled my case with care and always treated me with the upmost kindness and respect. Upon our second meeting, I knew he was the person I wanted to represent me, and I'm so grateful that I followed my instinct. He broke down my case into terms that I could understand easily, and was always a phone call away if I ever needed him. A really, really wonderful person, and an amazing attorney who will work diligently on a case without breaking the bank. I really can't thank him enough for all he's done, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney! :-)

I was turned down and laughed off by 2 attorneys before I met with Evan Watson. I got jammed up in Forsyth County, which has a reputation for not budging. From the beginning, I felt confident in Evan. He exudes confidence and is extremely knowledgeable. We had a simple plan, and he executed it perfectly and got me the best possible result. His rates were extremely fair with no surprises. He saved my job, and saved my family a lot of headaches! I will always recommend Evan to anyone I know. Hire him!

Evan Watson is not only knowledgeable, responsive & extremely professional but also completely understanding at how stressful these situations can be and he goes out of his way to make sure your totally informed, prepared and at ease with what’s to come. He really made a rough situation a lot easier to manage and even though I hope I never need him again, it’s good to know if I did I would have guidance & representation within hours.

Have needed a lawyer a few times in my life. But the other times in my life I needed a lawyer and we get to court, the lawyer barely even knows me our any defense for my case other than some bs. Not with Mr. Watson. When I needed him to help me, he took the time to get to know me and my case. Mr. Watson put the effort into helping as if I was his mother. I felt like someone rather then a number and just throwing my money away to someone who doesn’t care. I hope I don’t need a lawyer again, but if I do, Mr Watson and his partnering attorney and team will be who I go to. I’m Greatly satisfied beyond my expectations. Joshua Sudderth

WOW! Evan Watson was a delight to work with! In fact, I hardly realized that I had a legal issue lingering over my head for more than 2 years because Evan took such great care of me and my case! I would say the part the most people worry about is having to deal and learn all the legal lingo and procedures which tend to intimidate folks but that wasn't the case for me... Evan took all the stress and worry off my shoulders and saw it through the end. He is relatable, easy to talk to and being honest and up front is the best relationship to have with your lawyer. The outcome of my court case was better than I was expecting so that completes the cherry on top! Thanks Evan for all your help

Evan Watson couldn't be a better choice. He has helped me on multiple occasions in what seemed like would be impossible cases. He always stays in contact and will work hard on your case. He is very kind and will work with you for whatever you need. For me he has always been able to strike the best deal. Inone case in particular I had 6 pending charges and he was able to get it dropped to 2, one of which was a reduced charge the other will not be on my record. Do not hestitate to call this firm if you are in trouble. You won't be disappointed, I can garuntee it.

I had the bad luck of needing a top notch attorney; I had the good luck of finding Evan Watson to represent me.

Evan is a big hearted, honest and caring attorney, that I trusted with my life; I wasn't disappointed. For the incredible amount of time and effort that he put into representing me, his fees were very reasonable. If you need a Great attorney, look no further than Evan Watson Esq.

There isn't anything negative that I can say about Evan Watson. I heard about him from a friend of a friend so really we had no ties to each other. I reached out to him and after a 10 minute phone call he said he would look my case over and call me back. Within days, he called with the decision to take my case pro-bono!! I have had a rough past and made some poor decisions that resulted in some bad misdemeanors. Without judgement, Evan asked me what I have done to turn my life around and was thoroughly interested in my responses. Thanks to Mr Watson I now have a clean record and will be able to finally land a career in the medical field!! My dream to go on mission trips and help those less fortunate has been made a reality thanks to Evan Watson. He worked fast and hard on my case, it took him less than two months to completely change the course of my life for the better. He is attentive and responds quickly. He acts fast and gets the job done almost before it has even started. I can't thank him enough.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to handle a case in forsyth county and sureounding areas!!

I am 51 years old and have never been in trouble with the law. I recently was arrested for DUI. Having never needed a lawyer, I wasn't sure how to shop for one. I read online reviews and resume's. I made phone calls. I had car salesmen call me back and tell me I was in dire straits and needed to hire them NOW. I had others who said if you sign with me NOW I will do this special deal. Some were arrogant telling me only THEY could save me. When Evan Watson returned my call, I knew he was the one. He was confident, not pushy. He answered my questions honestly without trying to scare me or steer me. He told me he would work his tail off for me if I put my trust in him and that is exactly what he did. Other lawyers and people within the system told me that Forsyth County, GA was serious about DUI and NO deals or reductions in sentence would be considered by the Lawyers for the County. Evan worked with these guys and got me the best possible result for the disposition of my case. I was very happy with his representation, the support from Michelle in his office, and the outcome of my case. Don't listen to the used-car-salesmen lawyers, and don't fail yourself by hiring a discount lawyer. Evan was neither the highest nor the lowest priced lawyer I spoke to. His price was fair. Call Evan Watson. He brings a calming confidence to work for you, and he will work his tail off for you.

So, last year after leaving a friend’s house I found myself in a lot of trouble, a DUI and Hit-and-Run. I was absolutely devastated, if I was convicted of either charge, literally my career would have been over. I immediately began looking for a defense attorney and found Evan Watson. Upon my first meeting with him, I told him my story, and he said he was willing to go battle for me, and let me tell you, there is not one single lawyer out there that would have handled my case the way he did. He was very accessible and super prepared in court. He didn’t let the prosecutors bully me or make me to think I needed to plea if I didn’t want to. I told him I wanted to fight the charges and we did. He went above and beyond, found holes in the arresting officers story, and guess what, ALL CHARGES DROPPED! I (obviously) couldn't have asked for a better outcome, especially considering the circumstances. If you need a good defense attorney, I’m telling you, do not look anywhere else. Evan is truly a 10-star attorney!

This was the best experience with a lawyer I’ve had in my short time being an adult, but have had to hire a couple. In my certain case, I was very luck, and very blessed to have found Evan to help take care of my situation. He went way above and beyond what I could’ve expected from any attorney who could have took my case as I am not a resident of Georgia. He was diligent with my case, and treated me like he would a family friend or close relative, and I could not have got to where I’m at right now without his help...again, if you want a reliable, trustworthy attorney on your case, this is your man...in the beginning of my case I was facing felony charges, I was supposed to meet requirements for what probation would be in my home state and then they would maybe do a report by mail probation but the process was prolonged and he requested the case be dismissed and it was granted!!! So blessed to have found him, he knew I was in a sticky situation being out of town and knew it was going to be a fight but obviously one worth fighting. Don’t think twice on legal matters, ensure your case is taken care of professionally.
Thank you Evan, Good luck and God bless !

Peter Zeliff showed me the light at the end of the tunnel, and I made the right decision in choosing him to represent me. I knew from the moment that I sat down in his office that he would work tirelessly to produce the best outcome possible for my case. Traits that I look for in an attorney are honesty, responsiveness, expertise, dedication, and professionalism; this is exactly what you will find at this law firm. Robin, the paralegal, is also very pleasant and she communicated with me regarding all the small details along the way. I was provided with an extraordinary experience from start to finish. If I ever again find myself in need of an exceptional attorney that is eager and willing to go the extra mile, I know exactly who to call.

ANY legal trouble in Forsyth Co.---- ONLY hire a lawyer who works and lives in the Forsyth Co. Peter Zeliff was highly recommended by a very prominent Atlanta criminal/DUI attorney. My result--- all 3 charges DISMISSED.
Legal misadventure happens and l felt like the world is ending. However, once I spoke to Peter Zeliff at the office, I knew that everything was going to be A OK. Mr. Zeliff’s demeanor- always cool, calm and collected. Prior to leaving his office, he already had THE plan and a plan B of how to approach the case. This took a lot of stress off the shoulders. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and explained the legal processes in a manner that was easy to understand.
He has been practicing law in Forsyth co for many years and is very respected by his peers, even the officers and legal opponents. He is considered to be one of the most aggressive lawyers and the one who doesn’t like to lose. The ingredients of a Winning Team- knowledge, drive to Win, patience, Mr. Zeliff has it all.
The office staff is very friendly and his assistant Robin made sure I was updated with new information. She always called with court date reminders and if there have been any changes with the case. The fee was VERY reasonable and definitely worth every penny.
Going back to my case, most other lawyers will just get you to plead to a deal. Well, all 3 charges in my case were dismissed. The dismissal was so unique that the court clerk did not know how to write up the paperwork, the officers, who have worked in the FOCO, have never heard of the dismissal ending like that either. The results speak for themselves!

I called Watson and Zeliff out of the blue asking questions about a case I had thought was taken care of years ago. Evan Watson called me back personally in the morning and spoke with me about my case. I provided him the information regarding my case, and that afternoon he had provided me personalized information that I could use in my local courthouse. He took the time and went out of his way to help me with the paperwork I needed, and explained the process and what to expect. I haven't ever had another experience with an attorney like I did with Mr. Watson. I can guarantee that if I ever need an attorney in the future, Zeliff/Watson will be my first call. These guys are the salt of the earth.

I would and have been recommending Attorney Evan Watson to anyone who needs not just a good, but one of the best defense attorneys available. I was given another attorney's name for my son's case, which turned out to be nothing but a joke who scammed us with his retainer fee. Luckily, I came across Zeliff/Watson in my search for a replacement and it turned out to be the best decision ever. With his knowledge and experience, he was able to provide an unbelievable outcome for our son's case. He will evaluate every detail and treat you with the upmost respect, unlike many of the others who go by how much you can do financially. Mr. Watson is respectfully known by everyone in the Forsyth County court system as well as other counties and for good reason. If I could, I would give them 10 stars!!

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience using Evan Watson. I hate to admit it but I have been through the legal system from one side and spit out the other and about 20 cases in between over a 25 year period. I have seen the most pathetic, greediest and unscrupulous lawyers doing their thing here in Georgia. I have always used the best to obtain the best results. And by best I don’t mean most expensive. I want to get what I pay for. I also don’t want to go to jail or be fined to death. I got Evans information from my main lawyer of going on 20 years. When he kept telling me to give Evan a call I did. From the moment I called their office I was impressed. I was even more impressed with the way Evan carries himself from the meet and greet, dealing with the DA/Solicitor and finally the Judge. This guy is a Gem. I will never use anyone else in this area for sure because Evan has strong relationships with all sides here in Forsyth county. I was more than impressed. Hope this helps someone make a solid decision. It was the best phone call I made. Thanks again Evan!!!

Evan Watson is worth every penny he is paid. Evan has adroitly guided me through the uncertainty and trepidation of a few cases over the last several years. When I got tangled up in a bad situation and disproportionately charged, he never doubted my side of the story. He even displayed genuine empathy throughout the entire process. He worked with the prosecutor on the facts of the case and was able to get a trumped up violent felony reduced to a misdemeanor plea with no jail time. He understood the odds were stacked against me, but didn't just 'run me through the system' to get the case off of his books. I was then charged with a couple DUIs. He was able to coach me on what to do to get ahead of the probation violations. He worked with the probation office and the prosecutor in both circumstances to negotiate outcomes that ensured the state was satisfied and that I was on a practical and healthy path. Evan got ahead of the court calendar and ran one of the cases through to get all the time and stipulations ran concurrent with my probation case. Months later, he was able to negotiate my other DUI down to a reckless driving charge. He worked to get the facts behind the circumstances of the charge presented to the prosecutor through a series of motions. Was able to convey that the case was not substantial and how I was on the right path. Another DUI charge would have completely set me back to square one. I am on the right path now and I give a lot of that credit to Evan. He help guide me through what would help me and kept 'the wolf' from the door legally. He has an unimpeachable knowledge of our legal system and experience in getting results. He will not 'blow smoke' but tell you how it is from the start. I knew I was facing some serious consequences and Evan never tried to sweet talk me with promises to earn my business. There is a sign in Evan's office, it says 'Always listen to your attorney's advice'. I am stubborn, and very defensive. In my initial case, Evan coached me to walk up to the stand, admit to the slew of accusations against me, and guaranteed me the judge would accept the plea. Personally, I had no belief I would walk out the front door of the courthouse if I did that, there was no way I thought a judge would let me off with probation, but he did. Evan even told me, he had never seen that judge complement a defendant the way the judge complemented me for taking ownership of my charges that day. Even in the most uncertain and dim circumstances, Evan has come through. I made a mess over the last few years, and I have no idea where I would be without guidance and results Evan secured for me. If he could do this for me, he can do it for you too. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Top notch, quality defense attorney!

Evan recently defended my son in a case that could have had very negative effects on the rest of my sons life. Evan treated my son with respect, and did not “candy coat” anything. He was very upfront and honest with him (which is what my son needed) and the outcome the case was FAR BEYOND what we imagined as “the best possible outcome” . If you need a great attorney, who isn’t going to feed you BS, won’t tell you something just because that’s what you WANT to hear, but works hard for you while keeping your best interest his priority, then Evan Watson is the guy to hire!!! There are no words that could ever do “justice” to express my gratitude. Thank you SO MUCH Evan for your kindness, hard work, (and reality checks when it was much needed).

Evan Watson is a wonderful attorney! We went with Evan because my husband found him on Google and we liked that his title said 'Defense' before DUI, like all other attorneys, plus because of all of his excellent reviews. Our first meeting, we met on a Saturday, and Evan was very pleasant, professional, had a confident approach, very easy to talk to, and made me feel much better about my case. Never thru my whole experience with Evan did I feel uncomfortable about my situation. Evan was very honest with me thru out my whole case, answered all my calls, emails and texts. He really does treat you like you are a family member. I made the right choice with going with Evan Watson. I would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

I am trying to find the words to describe my experience with Evan Watson and "unbelievable" keeps coming to mind. During my free consultation, his confidence and caring manner made me feel comfortable and open enough (i can be a bit anxious) to ask the questions and concerns I had with my early probation termination request.At no point did he try to "sell me" or did i feel judged, we just talked like two old friends.His knowledge of the law, experiences with cases like mine and even the people involved in my case had me feeling more optimistic and at ease, because even if it didn't work i"d at least know i tried and he did his best. Fast forward to less than 2 weeks later, and he did it! My probation is being terminated after years of stress. I am so thankful to him and the rest of the team. I was first led to them through reading reviews and i hope mine can lead anyone who is feeling nervous or down about themselves or their case to push through the fear and contact them and if it feels like a good fit for you...try.

Evan Watson is one of the sharpest attorneys I’ve ever met. He delivered on his word, to work my file, from beginning to the end. Evan has a great reputation within the court system and has everyone’s respect. He is humble and doesn’t sugarcoat. When Evan was not available, Jennifer was available to listen to my concerns and helped me during my case. I had the opportunity to meet attorney Zeliff and he was kind to say “Good luck” to me before my meeting Evan. Everyone in the office was very kind to me and made me feel at home. Thank you Evan for helping me out. I appreciate all of your hard work!

Evan Watson is a phenomenal attorney, he's worked tirelessly to get the desired results in my case. I've initially contacted Mr. Watson December 2017 regarding my driver's license suspension. Once I've explained my case to Mr. Watson, he gave me spot on feedback and the potential outcome of the case based upon his experience and his Knowledge of the law, needless to say he made me feel very confident in my case. I am proud to have had Mr. Watson as my attorney defense attorney and ultimately he was able to get a full dismissal in my case. I am confident in this Law firm and I totally recommend Zeliff & Watson Attorney at Law.

My partner and I had been struggling for years due to his lack of license. Many years ago before we met, he had his license suspended in another Georgia and he had run into so many road blocks in trying to get his license back that he had given up. We don’t live in Georgia. We had reached a point where we had taken all the steps and completed all the requirements but still needed a Georgia judge to lift the only requirement that could not be completed from outside of Georgia. We had been looking for a lawyer in Georgia for a while when we finally found Evan Watson. For $750 he was able to get this all finally taken care of for us (without us ever having to set foot in Georgia) and it was done in a short amount of time considering we had been waiting to have this all resolved for 10 years. Mr Evan Watson was a God send and blessing to our family. My partner finally having his license again means that we don’t have to spend $400 a month on Uber for him to get to and from work and he can help more with errands and the kids transportation needs too. Words can’t express how very grateful we are to Evan Watson and Jennifer Hudson for all they did to bring this nightmare to an end. Thank you so much!

Evan Watson is my hero! Dragged my feet on getting my license back since I moved out of state and it just seemed like such a huge task to overcome. Evan was so helpful and easy to work with. He got everything squared away in just a few weeks!

Evan Watson not only represented me in my case but he provided me the knowledge and understanding of exactly what was going on within my case. He kept me abreast of all deadlines, procedures, and important dates. Thankfully, my case worked out in my favor all because of Mr. Watson’s expertise, due diligence, and professionalism. I couldn’t have received a better attorney to represent me. He knows what he’s doing and he will always have your best interest at heart!!

From the beginning when I reached out to Evan Watson to the end which was over a year, the service, recommendations and final result were more than what I could've expected from the team at Zeliff |Watson. I did what I was told and would recommend them to anyone with the confidence they will get the job done. They care and are in touch with the clients needs and their specific case. Thanks again!

Evan Watson went above and beyond my expectations of a lawyer. He always kept me in the know of what was happening or could happen with my case. Mr. Watson always answered my calls and emails. I was never turned over to someone else even when it was the simplest question. I hope to never personally need his services again but I am more than happy to give his name to anyone in need of a lawyer.

This is only the 2nd review I’ve ever posted, and both resulted from service that far exceeded my expectations. I met with Evan Watson after researching and talking with two other attorneys about help getting me out of a bone headed mistake I made, and I cannot express how pleased I am to have made the right choice in going with him. It really wasn’t a question after speaking with him, then meeting him. Every aspect of his service- from his friendly welcome, professionalism, attentive listening, confident approach, and effective results- was top notch. Evan told me exactly what he was going to do, and he did just that. You can’t ask for much more than that. I hope this review helps others that may find themselves like I was- someone who made a poor decision and really needed someone to help get them through it. Don’t hesitate to go with Evan if so. I would recommend him to my closest friends and family.

Evan has helped me with two different situations, one a felony case, and the other a traffic violation. He did an outstanding job! He was knowledgeable, kept us updated and “in the loop” and never made us feel uncomfortable. His rates are very competitive and you can count on him to do his very best for you.

Mr Evans did an excellent job on my case.Very professional and attentive to my needs.Bringing my case to a swift productive end. I have had bad experiences before with lawyers before to the extent of thinking they were all crooks but thanks to Mr Evans my opinion has changed. He was very professional and made sure all the facts were correct.He is an honest man, very professional with the highest integrity.

Evan is a godsend. He is effective, professional, reliable, and prompt. He got me out of quite a jam while ensuring my business and reputation remained intact. After I came across further complications, he went above and beyond for months on end. He did not stop advocating for me until my case was closed. His knowledge and skill set are unparalleled.

With my previous encounter with the law, I am so thankful and grateful I chose Evan Watson to represent me in my case. He provides his clients with realistic goals, affordable prices, and great results! Unlike other attorneys I have dealt with in the past, I can honestly say Evan Watson treated me as if I was a family member. He communicated with me every step of the way, he provided me with quick responses, and he made me a priority regardless of the severity of my case. I was no longer concerned about the outcome of my case (which is the last emotion people usually have) because I felt completely comfortable and confident in his ability to deliver results. I can assure you if you choose Evan Watson to represent you, you will be completely satisfied with the outcome.

My entire experience with Attorney Evan Watson and his paralegals was very pleasant. Always on top of the situation and very informative of how to handle any problems as they arise. He possesses such great attributes in the sense that he is easy to talk to and when he says he is going to get something done, he does it. Evan Watson is a bright, experienced, and engaging attorney who will defend his client with honesty, integrity, and hard work. To say that his is the first number to dial when looking for guidance on a case. Attorney Evan Watson - He is the best of the best.

DO NOT THINK TWICE ABOUT LOOKING AROUND FOR A LAWYER, EVAN WATSON IS YOUR GUY! I am very pleasantly surprised at how swiftly, painlessly, and professionally Evan handled my case and would be my first call if I run into legal troubles in the future. I HIGHLY recommend him and his firm, they really know what they're doing, easy to reach at any point of the day if you have questions or concerns, and most importantly- they treat you like family. Very nicely done. Very happy with the results. Thank you Evan!

I used Evan for my cases and he proved to be a man of his word and worked tirelessly to give me the best outcome. I was very much a worrying client, but he reassured me that I needed to handle life and he would handle court and he did just that. He did give me honest answers about what could happen and what he hoped would result. He also gave me a plan for what I could do until my court dates. He sets you up to succeed, you just have to do your part. Also the office staff was awesome, always answered questions and gave comfort when needed. I would recommend Evan to anyone in need of his services.

I would highly recommend Peter Zeliff as a future attorney for anyone with criminal charges especially DUI.. He really knows what he s doing and will fight to the end!. When u think things are not going your way Peter will pull off the unthinkable. A very good guy who is very calm , cool and smooth in the courtroom until it’s time to take action. He got my case dismissed when I felt like it was no hope. Great staff as well!.

Evan is a man of many virtues. He looked over all the details of my case, made strong recommendations that helped my case significantly, and was there for me during a critical turning point in my life. Going through a legal case without proper representation is a terrible idea, because the system isn't set up for every possible circumstance. You will need an attorney who knows the system, knows how to speak and listen empathetically, respectfully, and powerfully to the right people, at the right time in order to get the best case scenario results for your case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE BY HAVING ANOTHER OFFICE REPRESENT YOU DURING SUCH DIFFICULT AND HARD TIMES!!!! I had the pleasure of having Evan Watson represent me and words can not explain how appreciative i am with his dedication. Every step of the way he went above and beyond in helping me find the best solution to my case. Mr. Watson never made me feel like i was a bother or waste of his time; no matter what time or day. He and his staff never pass jugment on your case or make you feel uncomfortable with your charges. They really make you feel like family and not like another money sign walking around or a criminal. From the second you speak to Mr. Watson or meet Mrs. Candy at the office you feel welcomed and at peace knowing you have the BEST REPRESENTATION!!! They are VERY reasonable with their price and the fact that he will take his time to hear your charges at no cost the first time can not get any better. Do yourself a HUGE favor and save yourself the time. This office is the ONLY ONE who should be on your side during these times. Thank you Zeliff Watson Attorneys at Law for having my back during this whole process i felt tranquillity and knew every detail thanks to your knowledge.

Peter Zeliff is amazing! If you are ever facing criminal charges for a DUI or multiple DUI's, it's in your best interest to contact him at this firm. I personally was just facing my 4th lifetime DUI and we took it to trial and WON! I am so grateful for the hard work and effort that Peter put into my case to prove my innocence. I can never thank him enough!

It wasn't looking good for me for my second DUI case, I was very nervous and had no idea what I would be facing. That's when I met Peter Zeliff, He put my mind at ease with his professionalism and knowledge of the law. He knew the laws in Forsyth very well. We ended up taking the case to trial this past month and I beat the DUI and It was knocked down to excessive speeding and I only got probation. I could not be more thankful to Mr. Zeliff and his team of attorneys and how they handled my case. I will defiantly use him again and will refer anyone in need of the best defense only to Zeliff and Watson. Thanks Again

At almost 60 years old with 5 kids I've had many experiences with criminal attorneys especially in GA. My attorney for 30 years was my roommate when younger, my soccer coach and best friend RIP. I knew people who knew Evan and when I got in trouble and faced serious consequences I hired him. He is BY FAR the best criminal attorney I have ever dealt with! Not only is he extremely bright and competent in knowledge of GA law but he is a kind and compassionate person who tries to make the world a better place. As an International Executive Recruiter and past President of the GA Association of Personnel Services. I hope I'm a pretty good judge of character. Evan is the kind of person I hope all our children grow up to be like.

I can't say enough about the quality of service and the care that Evan Watson showed our family while representing both of my sons for different issues. One offense was major and one was smaller, but in both cases he was attentive, professional, kind and most importantly, successful. He also didn't overcharge us or keep adding on additional fees as things developed. It's hard nowadays to find people that go above and beyond in their jobs. Evan is one of those people. It was obvious to me that for Evan Watson what he did for us and what I know he does for others, is more than just a job.

Hey,
Hire Evan! He is prompt, always one time, courteous, and a strong legal expert. He kept on going when the case seemed like it would go on forever. I will always be grateful for how much attention he gave me. He met me near my home and gave me a free consultation. Also worked on a payment plan if I needed.
Thank you again Evan Watson!

Peter Zeliff is truly a great attorney. He fought my case tirelessly and got me out of a bind. After meeting with another attorney who was nothing but doom and gloom, I met with Peter who was not only optimistic about my case but also charged half of what this other attorney would have charged. I am extremely satisfied with Mr Zeliff's work and would strongly recommend hiring him.

I ran into some Legal Issues late 2014, and found myself in desperate need of a strong Defense. I eventually came in contact with Peter Zeliff, and right out the gate could tell he was an experienced professional. He carefully analyzed my 2 cases, and responded personally to all of my concerns. Zeliff stands firm in the court room, and I believe truly cared about my well-being as his client. My DUI charges were completely dropped, and he also landed me an excellent deal in a separate case. I owe my Freedom to his knowledge and abilities, and would recommend his service to my friends and family.

He works around my schedule to the best of his ability and surprisingly answers to text messages (which I’ll never find a better way to communicate) I’ll forever recommend people to him!
I hired did not have my best interest at heart.
Mr. Watson made me feel like he genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. He explained everything to me very thoroughly and answered any questions I had.
I never felt pressure to agree to anything I was unsure of, and he gave me the time needed to make the decisions I felt comfortable with.
At the end, the process was smooth and the results were better than I expected. I am very glad I trusted my gut and went elsewhere after my experience with the previous lawyers.
I Highly recommend Mr. Watson!
I’m Greatly satisfied beyond my expectations.

Thank you Evan, Good luck and God bless !
God bless!
Legal misadventure happens and l felt like the world is ending. However, once I spoke to Peter Zeliff at the office, I knew that everything was going to be A OK. Mr. Zeliff’s demeanor- always cool, calm and collected. Prior to leaving his office, he already had THE plan and a plan B of how to approach the case. This took a lot of stress off the shoulders. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and explained the legal processes in a manner that was easy to understand.
He has been practicing law in Forsyth co for many years and is very respected by his peers, even the officers and legal opponents. He is considered to be one of the most aggressive lawyers and the one who doesn’t like to lose. The ingredients of a Winning Team- knowledge, drive to Win, patience, Mr. Zeliff has it all.
The office staff is very friendly and his assistant Robin made sure I was updated with new information. She always called with court date reminders and if there have been any changes with the case. The fee was VERY reasonable and definitely worth every penny.
Going back to my case, most other lawyers will just get you to plead to a deal. Well, all 3 charges in my case were dismissed. The dismissal was so unique that the court clerk did not know how to write up the paperwork, the officers, who have worked in the FOCO, have never heard of the dismissal ending like that either. The results speak for themselves!
We had reached a point where we had taken all the steps and completed all the requirements but still needed a Georgia judge to lift the only requirement that could not be completed from outside of Georgia.
We had been looking for a lawyer in Georgia for a while when we finally found Evan Watson. For $750 he was able to get this all finally taken care of for us (without us ever having to set foot in Georgia) and it was done in a short amount of time considering we had been waiting to have this all resolved for 10 years. Mr Evan Watson was a God send and blessing to our family. My partner finally having his license again means that we don’t have to spend $400 a month on Uber for him to get to and from work and he can help more with errands and the kids transportation needs too.
Words can’t express how very grateful we are to Evan Watson and Jennifer Hudson for all they did to bring this nightmare to an end. Thank you so much!
