Mr. Watt leads the firm's criminal law practice, practicing criminal law at McCullough Watt Sutton Lynskey Hodson and Dosanjh since 2008.  Mr. Watt became a Partner in the firm in 2011 given the outstanding results he achieved in his first four years with the firm.

​With respect to murder cases, Mr. Watt has had outstanding results.  In a murder trial in Kamloops Supreme Court, Mr. Watt's client was found not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder on the Murder charge. In another Second Degree Murder Trial in 2014 in New Westminster, Mr. Watt had the Murder charges reduced to Manslaughter.  In 2016 Mr. Watt had Second Degree Murder charges reduced to Manslaughter in a high profile Kelowna case.  In November 2017 after weeks of a hearing into the admissibility of evidence in a Mr. Big case, Mr. Watt had Second Degree Murder charges reduced to Manslaughter.

Mr. Watt recognizes that each client has different needs, whether they be bail, an adjournment, a vigorous defence, or getting the best possible sentence. As a result, he pours himself completely into each case. 

Mr. Watt continues to take cases throughout British Columbia, and there is no place he will not go to serve his clients. 

Mr. Watt is an intense competitor both in and out of the courtroom. A former Western Hockey League goaltender, he is driven and tenacious in his efforts to achieve the best results for his clients. As an Ironman, Mr. Watt continues to push himself whether, biking, swimming or running.  Mr. Watt’s background has honed his ability to focus and commit the energy and hard work required to succeed in the courtroom. He relishes the challenges each new case presents and fully commits himself to the cases he conducts. He welcomes the opportunity to discuss your case and the options available to you.
