Our Team

Chang Watters was established by Catherina Watters to provide clients with the personalized benefits of a small boutique firm without sacrificing the experience and resources of a large firm.  Chang Watters offers trusted legal representation and highest quality care for all of its clients. We understand that if you are looking to hire an attorney, you are dealing with a high stress situation and/or are being treated unfairly by someone and need help. Hiring an attorney is never fun, but it can be less painful if your attorney is someone you feel comfortable talking to and trust with your most confidential information and decision making.

Our reputation is our most valued asset. It is based on years of valuable experience, continuing education and the positive relationships we have developed with our clients and our partners in the community. We offer honest, straightforward advice and always place ourselves in our client’s shoes.

We offer services in the areas of personal injury, NFL Disability Claims, Homeowner issues such as foreclosure defense, bankruptcy, debt mitigation and provide assistance with general contract matters.

For matters that are outside our realm of jurisdiction, we will connect you with one of the trusted attorneys in our network, which we have taken great care in assembling. We believe in providing our clients with the best representation possible and have established co-counsel relationships with nationally recognized firms.  We take our responsibility as legal professionals very seriously and take pride in helping our clients navigate the complexities of the legal system.
