Gun charge
I hired John for a fire arm I was wrongly arrested for... John came to visit me In jail on a Sunday with sweats and a T-shirt I’m thinking ok he’s gonna say what he has to... do he begins to tell me how I never should have been arrested I. The first place and how by law the case has to get thrown out in preliminary, I’m thinking too good to be true, so I say to him “ Listen Man U don’t have to gas me up just be real with me “ he looks me dead in the eye and says I got 8 questions that’ll have this case dismissed!!! . Fast forward to preliminary I lie to you not he put the cop on the stand asked him roughly 7-8 questions then turned to the judge and says “ yea your honor I don’t think this is enough to move to trial I ask that the case be dismissed!.. the judge says “ yea I agree I don’t think so either, case dismissed... by the way he has beat about 5 of my friends cases by now..! 5STARS

The Magic Man!
This guy is the truth! He represented me at a jury trial and did an amazing magic trick with a top hat and a harmonica that had the jurors mesmerized. They had no choice but to find me not guilty! Thanks Magic Man!

Not Guilty
Walsh took my case and I thought his price was high. Then he told me he was charging that much because he was trying the case and I was going to be found not guilty. This was a serious gun case and he seemed like it was a sp ending ticket. We went to trial and after about 5 questions the judge found me not guilty. I couldn't believe how easy he made it look.

Wow.
I hired Mr Walsh a few years back when me and brother caught a gun case. We went over the discovery and Mr Walsh laughed. He told me not to worry and the guy would be suppressed. After the hearing the Judge knew the cop was lying and even said it to the whole court room. I didn't think I had a chance and he knew the whole time I would win. Great lawyer.

DUI Assistance
John Walsh is an extremely competent and knowledgeable attorney. He was very informative and upfront regarding the legal process and my options. This was not an easy ordeal to go through but having John as my legal counsel help to make the process a little less painful. I would strongly recommend John for anyone going through a similar situation.

DUI and Careless Driving Arrest Representation
He was very professional and helpful with the cases. He worked with both State and Federal prosecutors to get the best possible outcome for me. I felt confident that all suggestions on how to proceed were in my best interest.

Outstanding representation.
I have known John for many years thru a family member. I needed an attorney to help two different nephews who got into some difficulty. The results were exactly what we hoped for in both cases. John did an EXCELLENT job and his cost were very fair. I would not hesitate to use or recommend John again.

Great Drug Lawyer
I hired Mr. Walsh because my friend told me about him. The lawyer that I had wanted me to plea guilty but I was innocent. Mr. Walsh said we will to trial and I would win. He was right. He's the best drug lawyer I ever saw and everyone knew the cop was lying. Get him as your lawyer!

Excellent
John settled my case professionally. I met with him a few weeks before my court date. He kept in close contact and worked with me throughout the process. He was able to get the best possible outcome for both parties in the matter.

Underage Drinking: Possession/Consumption/Internal Possession of Alcohol
John was extremely helpful when representing my son for Underage Possession of Alcohol. He guided us through the judicial process with professionalism, understanding and patience. We were much more confident of our outcome knowing we had John representing us.
