Posted by anonymous | February 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Highly Recommended!

It is great to have Kevin as my attorney. The divorce process was already stressful, and the first attorney I hired has caused me more troubles and delays. After being fed up with enough issues, I have browsed various websites to search for different attorney profiles and reviews. I have been glad... that I made the right decision to hire Kevin to replace the prior attorney. When I first walked into Kevin's office, I was full of worry and concerns with the burden from my ex and my prior attorney. Kevin was able to calm me down and prepared me for the divorce process. And step after step, the outcome of the case has been much better than I had expected. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone whom needs a divorce attorney in the region.

Amazing Lawyer That Cares

Kevin renewed my faith in attorney's when dealing with a horrible experience with prior counsel during my divorce and custody battle. He not only communicated often, but truly cared about what results I wanted that was best for myself and most importantly, my children. He was instrumental in crafting... the best case and truly being caring not only about the compounded issues in my case, but also my personal health as I was battling blow after blow of medical set backs during my case. I have never met a person more trusting and faithfully committed to his clients and would not ever look anywhere else for someone to represent me in a court room.

Smart, trustworthy and caring !

I reached out to Kevin after he was highly recommended By an attorney and a friend. From the beginning, Kevin made himself available knowing that I needed immediate advice and representation. I communicated that I need to make this process the easiest possible because I could not take any more s...tress and needed to move on to preserve my sanity, he agreed that there is no need to spend thousands when the divorce should be very simple. Kevin is a very caring ,intelligent and professional. I was surprised that his first question was if there was any chance to have counseling before getting into a divorce and that at any time I could tell him if there was something I want to consider. He quickly understood why that was not an option. Kevin spent time trying to get to know me and asked a lot of questions to get a better picture of my situation, I felt confident that if an attorney is going to take the time to profile you ,know your situation and your character that he is not leaving any room for errors or misunderstanding. Kevin also made himself available on weekends, nights to talk or to meet when he understood that it was important. His cell phone was available and he made it clear that I could reach out to him anytime should there be any emergency or motions filed. Kevin is also very reassuring when he feels like you are in emotional distress due to the divorce. Kevin does his best to understand his clients and works very hard juggling many cases and prioritizing when there is a call for it. I called him for an emergency and he was very prompt to respond in a time where I needed a quick advice. I will write an another review when the divorce process is over. I'm confident that Kevin will exceed my expectations.

Difficult Divorce

Going into my divorce i felt very lost as it was unfamiliar ground to most of us. My first meeting with Kevin was not what i expected, there was more time spent discussing matters that I felt were unrelated, only to realize Kevin was trying to get an understanding of my values and integrity as a pers...on. Kevin took the time to figure out what type of person i was and how handling the case would be best for me. We went into court for the 1st time with only the facts and the truth, leaving all emotions at home. There was no slander or demeaning statement towards anyone, the judge recognized this. Not to say it was a victory as there is no winning in a divorce, my spouse fired her attorney and partitioned to remove the judge as the judgment was not as she expected. We took on the same approach with the second judge and the new attorney going into court 7 months later. My spouses attorneys made discoveries that became 1500 plus pages. We did not make any ill intended comments to make ourselves look better, unnecessary request or unreasonable inquiries totaling less than 75 pages. The outcome was not in the favor of my spouse. Kevin is wise and does not make fools errands, waste time or money, keeps it clean and earns the respect of the courtroom. Over the past 14 month I've realized Kevin's approach is well thought and planned properly for my particular situation, he did not cut and paste to go through the motions. Kevin cares about his clients well being, not only is he my attorney, i consider him to be a friend.

"I first encountered Attorney Walters on a highly contentious divorce and custody case in 2007. I was impressed by his professionalism and demeanor both inside and out of the court room. Since that time we have encountered one another on subsequent matters and he has continued to stand out amongst his peers. I have confidence in his abilities when referring clients to his office when I have a conflict in representation."
