This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Admits defeat too easily

Attorney Walker was consulted for a serious felony case. He informed me that the case was such a slam dunk for the prosecution, that all he would be able to do was have me plea guilty and represent me at sentencing. Another attorney disagreed, believing the Commonwealth's case had serious deficienc...ies. The case was eventually dismissed.

You can't Go Wrong with Frank Walker

You read about superheros, but you never meet any. Frank Walker was out superhero. With everything on the line and my husband staring down a sentence of life without parole, Frank stepped in and saved his life. We are forever grateful.

Worth the money

I got lots of names for attorneys to help my husband with a difficult case. I decided on Mr. Walker. He is knowledgeable, up front and fights hard for his clients. I have recommended him to others and they were pleased as well. Don't gamble with your or your loved ones life. Get the best so you ...get the best results.

Frank Walker

Frank is one the best most compassionate, most carring attorneys in Pittsburgh. He truely cares about not only his clients but their families as well. I consider Frank a true friend. He definately is the one you want on your side when you go to court.

Not Guilty on All Charges! I can't Thank You Enough!

I would like to thank Mr. Walker and his firm for all the hard work they have done to settle this delicate matter for me and continue to strive to get the rest of the case expunged in a timely manner. I appreciate the time and consideration throughout this difficult process. Frank made me feel very c...omfortable throughout the last few months and I will thank him years to come. Thank you again!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
