Politically controlled, self serving, active, willing participant in the " good old boys club"

Best stated to me by a fifty year veteran lawyer and principle owner of his Philadelphia law firm. " I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE IN MY LIFETIME, AS MISREPRESENTED AS YOU"

best lawyear in scranton pa

Paul walker is the best lawyer for any criminal case!! I say that from facts ,Paul has represented me two time and believe me when I tell u that I was happy with the resource. Paul take time out to hear his clients and he fights for what is right. a men who like to get to the point, may seem ser...ious or got somewhere else to be, but that's only because he has a strong judge of character and have the best interest of his clients!! Paul will get the best deals for his clients or take it to trial he is not scare to tell the D.A like it is, he's not with selling out his clients he knows the law like he knows the back of his hands he doesn't have to come to court in a expensive tuxedo to explore his royalty for his knowledge of the law says it all !! I know every client is entitled to his own opinion however I read one client review he stating that Paul seem like he didn't have time for him but to me it seem like he was looking for someone to hold his hands if Paul did that with everyone he wont have time to keep his clients out of jail

Don't trust this impatient and rude lawyer with your future

I could not have made worse choice than to hire this attorney. He was rude, unprofessional, and made it seem like he had somewhere better to be every time I spoke to him, even when we were in court. He is obviously smart, but lazy. He should have retired long ago. He doesn't care in the least how hi...s cases turn out, only that he gets paid for his time. I found out AFTER my case that he had mislead me about the seriousness of the consequences I faced. He didn't lie but he left huge steps out of his 'explanation' of what he had me agree to in court, and I'll have to deal with that for the rest of my life. Do not trust this man with your future. You will be the one paying the price, long after he has forgotten your name.

he likes a quick in/out regardless of the outcome

There is certain amount of responsibility that comes with a license to practice law. The Ethics a lawyer has to his client should always come first, that wasn't my case and the result of my case was catastrophic with serious long term consequences that were not disclosed to me prior to taken a plea...... Paul Walker has the knowledge to be an extremely excellent attorney but not the time I guess. Therefore, I suggest that anyone looking to hired him become familiar with the case and direct him to do what's right.
