Review John Walsh

The Magic Man!

Posted by

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

Posted by

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.
