Watson Law - Peoria, Illinois

Ramona E.

I started this journey with a different lawyer who was very good, but I quickly recognized that my case needed someone with Linda Watson’s expertise and heart. When they recommended Linda, I trusted their judgment—and I am so grateful I did. From the moment I switched to Linda as my attorney and Sara Dexter as my paralegal, I knew I was in the right hands. Their wisdom, dedication, HUGE hearts and unwavering support have been an incredible blessing during this ongoing journey.

What sets them apart is how deeply they care. Linda fights for me with integrity, skill, and a true commitment to her client's best interests, while Sara ensures every detail is handled with precision and kindness. Their communication is outstanding—they take the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and make sure I feel fully supported every step of the way.

God places the right people in our lives when we need them most, and I couldn’t be more thankful for Linda and Sara.

If you need a legal team that fights for you with both expertise and heart, Attorney Linda Watson and her amazing team are the ones to trust!

With gratitude and blessings,
Ramona Elderzi 💙

Linda and her team are amazing! They are the best at what they do. Not only that, but they always give a detailed bill and never overcharge like many other attorneys. This is my second time with her. She is precise and to the point. She also gives it to you straight with family law. Never blows smoke. She and her staff are truly the best around. Not to mention, if she feels the need, she is a bulldog!

In December of 23 I retained Linda for what was a very extreme and high conflict op/custody/child support case. My case turned out to be one of the most extreme that the judge had seen in over 25 years of experience.
What Linda did for my family and I was nothing short of a miracle. Linda saved my family! 100%. No exaggeration. She helped me to navigate what turned out to be the worst circumstances of my life and helped me to heal my family when my life had burned down around me.
To say that Linda is knowledgeable, professional, personable and caring still doesn't do her justice. She is a miracle worker! I have always prided myself on being articulate, but I find I can scarcely find the words to describe my gratitude for Mrs. Watson and her team at Watson Law. Linda is a saint, my paralegal Sara is an earth-angel, and Linda's co-counsel Susan is a rockstar!
I've attained other family law attorneys in the past, and while formidable, they can't compare to Linda. She is on a completely different level. Linda was thorough through all of the proceedings and was able to uncover and prove the truth despite the countless obstacles and lies from the opposing party. Her level of commitment is unprecedented, and I can assure you that I felt the same support from her entire team.
Throughout the whole process she was right there with me. Due to so many court dates I also worked with Susan, who didn't miss a beat either, as she reminded me of critical facts from my own history that I had forgotten.
Now I'm able to have family dinners with my 4 boys every night the 70% of the time that they are with me and I am actually receiving a fair amount of child support compared to what I used to get. And I owe all that to Watson Law.
Thank you so much Linda!!!

Susan and her team are absolutely amazing! She was up front with the expectations and the direction she thought would benefit me and my kids from the start. Her and her team were always available to answer any questions and concerns. I just can't thank Susan and her team at Watson Law for everything. I finally have peace of mind for me and my kids.

Good people, very nice.
But I’ve had two court dates and have been charged over $10k, while opposing counsel Michael Fenger has only charged $2500 to his client.

Take your pick.

Thank you to Susan Donohue, Megan Johnston and Sara for making this an easy and fast process for me. And all the advice that came with your counsel.

In October 2023, I retained the Watson Law Firm to represent me in my complex divorce/custody/OP case. I am immensely grateful for their expertise, support, and the profound positive impact they had on my life and the lives of my three children.

Linda was recommended to me by someone familiar with her reputation for uncovering the truth and achieving justice. During our initial consultation, her approach, though initially surprising, proved to be exactly what I needed. Her strategic and methodical approach helped me manage my emotions and articulate the facts clearly. As someone who is neurodivergent, I especially appreciated Linda's understanding and insight into ADHD and its impact on my children and me. Her guidance was transformative, helping me rediscover my identity and sense of self.

Throughout the case, Linda's team was consistently available, supportive, and informative. I want to particularly acknowledge Ashley, the paralegal on my case, for her exceptional professionalism, empathy, and understanding.

Linda's unwavering dedication was truly remarkable. Even while out of the country, she remained a fierce advocate for my rights as a father, tirelessly fighting for the best possible outcome for my family. The Watson Law Firm's commitment extended beyond the finalization of the case. When a new, urgent concern arose shortly after the case concluded, Linda and her team responded immediately, demonstrating their ongoing dedication to protecting my children.

I am deeply thankful for the Watson Law Team's hard work, compassion, and expertise. They made an incredibly difficult situation bearable, and I am confident that I would not have achieved such a positive outcome without their representation. I wholeheartedly recommend the Watson Law Firm to anyone in need of a family law attorney who is not only knowledgeable and experienced but also genuinely cares about their clients and the pursuit of justice.

So glad that Dr. Linda Watson’s office is also operating in Chicago now! She made my life so much easier when sitting down, explaining to me all sorts of situations around my case and dedicatedly working on it. One day I was terrified; the next day I was relieved. I was just upset I didn’t know her before, and spent so many nights awake thinking that my case was unsolvable! Surely not for her.

Dr. Lisa Regan also followed me case and kindly helped me with all necessary instructions. Thank you all!
