Kevin B. Walters

After being divorced for 12 years, I was convinced that the court system is hopelessly limited to adhering to guidelines and worksheets. I have always tried to argue to my previous attorney that the guidelines should not apply to my case. If you don’t think they should apply in your case, you’re pr...obably right and you should discuss your case with Kevin. I was very impressed with Kevin during our first meeting. He listened intently and asked all the right questions to make sure he was getting all the facts straight. He was even better at making sure he understood what I wanted and what I thought I deserved. I hired him on the spot. During negotiations with the opposing counsel, it became clear to me that Kevin knows the lawyer game and how not to play it. Kevin saved me untold lawyer fees by simply refusing to play lawyer games with opposing counsel. If you are facing an aggressive attorney, Kevin will do his best to deflect any issues that are frivolous or are just not aren’t pertinent. In Court, Kevin was absolutely amazing. Kevin knows what Judges respond to. Kevin was very careful and methodical about preparing the Judge to make a decision. He started with stating several specific facts about my case. He then argued that my case was clearly outside the guidelines and proceeded to extensively cite several applicable case law precedents. The judge was impressed and moved. We won! After 12 years of hearing why I can’t do this and can’t do that, I finally found a lawyer that listens and fights for what is right. I couldn’t believe it was as easy as hiring a great lawyer. Thanks Kevin!

Attorney Walters met with me at late hours and on weekends to ensure that he and I could confer on my case, a response to my ex-wife's demand for modification to the child support order and our counter-claim for a change in the parenting plan that would give me substantially more time with my childre...n. At all times, he was sympathetic and professional, seeking to know not merely the technical aspects of my situation (i.e., the existing court order, the present parenting plan) but also the background and personal history that afforded the context for all this. In the pre-trial conferences with my ex and her attorney, he maintained a professional demeanor throughout, despite several instances in which the opposing attorney exhibited less-than-gracious behavior. Strategically and tactically, he several times made decisions that had the effect of saving me additional legal fees by folding in certain of our counter-demands into the pre-trial hearing without separate filings on our part. While I could certainly wish that the Guidelines were more realistic, I believe that the outcome of the case was likely all that could be hoped for under the circumstances. At the pre-trial scheduling conference, Attorney Walters responded eloquently and compellingly before the bench to opposing counsel's repeated misstatements or elisions of the law and the facts in the case. (In fact, and somewhat to my amusement, frankly, after we sat down following his passionate oration on my behalf and the judge's indication of what she would consider a fair settlement, two different people in court that day for their own matters independently approached and asked for his business card so that they could contact him later to represent them. I was half-way tempted to ask for a finder's fee. Ha!) Given my ex's character and perpetual sense of grievance, I anticipate that this may become an annual tradition, in which she files a complaint for modification every time my salary bumps up; it is just as well, then, that I can console myself with the knowledge that I already know an extremely skilled advocate who will ably champion my side. (I can also say, without any doubt, that having witnessed from the opposing attorney a wholesale willingness to make untruthful or, at best, technically accurate but deliberately deeply misleading representations to the court, that Attorney Walters did not stoop to any such ploys; in fact, he asked me to indicate on a writing pad if at any time he accidentally misspoke during his address to the bench so that he could correct it before we sat down.) He managed to zealously represent his client's interest while still maintaining an ethical regard for the truth.

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.

Kevin has been such an amazing asset to me for the past few years I have known him. He has been so helpful to me throughout the process of my divorce. I can't praise him enough. He is never unprepared, always devotes enough attention to my case, and gives me plenty of his time. I wholeheartedly appre...ciate everything he has done for me and I highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a critical moment in their life and is looking for guidance.

Attorney Walters provided me excellent legal representation during my divorce and subsequent contempt case. Kevin was very knowledgeable, and he was always responsive and kept me informed. From the beginning Kevin clearly explained to me what to expect from the judge and he helped me achieve each of ...my goals. I defintely recommend Kevin as an excellent attorney.
