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!

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 ch...ance and he knew the whole time I would win. Great lawyer.

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 fou...nd me not guilty. I couldn't believe how easy he made it look.

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 J...ohn for anyone going through a similar situation.
