Extraordinarily positive experience

Attorney Shalvoy represented a juvenile member of our family in a criminal matter of some financial consequence. He did a simply outstanding job, and we will always be in Walter's debt for the care and expertise he brought to the case and to our family's situation.

Talks a big game with no delivery

He made many promises with no follow-through whatsoever. Weeks would go by without him returning calls. When the divorce agreement came I was given 20 minutes to look it over and sign (with a lot of pressure from him) and I know he never even looked it over. He will take advantage of your situatio...n. DO NOT use him for divorce or family law because he doesn't care about his client and when he's called out on him unprofessional behavior he will begin insulting you stooping to name-calling. He has ruined my life even more than my ex, and I didn't believe that was possible! Seeing that he is now suspended from practicing law gives me solace that for a bit of time he won't ruin other's lives.

Great advice

I called Walter with a question about a ticket and he gave me honest great advice that put my mind at ease. He is honest, straightforward and professional.

Excellent attorney

Walter was very knowledgeable about the legal process and put my mind at ease. Having an experienced attorney at your side makes it a lot easier when answering to a judge.

Unethical

Hired the attorney to represent me in a post divorce case. Took my money, never did what he was supposed to which was file a contempt of court against my ex-husband. When I requested my retainer fee back ($2,000.00) his answer was that is was all gone on phone calls. I requested a detailed stateme...nt of the expenses incurred and haven't heard back. Totally dishonest !!
