Tom Grant and his partners represented the family of Shanann Watts after the 2018 Watts murders in Frederick, Colorado. Since then, national and Colorado newsrooms have quoted Tom on the case.
In March 2019, Tom and his partners traveled to North Carolina to talk with Dr. Phil about the case and Christopher Watts’ confession, for a two-part special that aired on March 5 and March 11, 2019. Afterwards, Dr. Phil wrote to the team.
Thank you all for your willingness to come on the air and represent your client family with such professionalism and dignity.
I’ve worked with the top lawyers and law firms in the country and have not met a more competent and committed firm than yours.
In November 2019, the attorneys obtained a judgment of more than $6,000,000 for Shanann’s family in Weld County District Court. Every case turns on its own facts; a past result does not predict or promise the outcome of any other matter.
Each piece below quotes Tom or names him among the family’s attorneys. Outside links open in a new tab.
