He Trusts His Clients

It was a really long time ago but Rich took my case and as we were near the end, the defendents tried a really sneaky angle and Rich was taken by surprize. I was also. Rich was concerned. We took a recess and Rich asked me, "Why didnt you tell me about XXX? I responded " it never occured to me to me...ntion it" . He considered taking a settlement but I said NO, I was teling the truth so he said ok and we returned to the courtroom. Guess who won??? Guess whose case was published in Legal Journals? RICH!! He believes in his clients.

Very Disappointing

Although Mr. Walsh is clearly very knowledgeable, we were disappointed by his unwillingness to take a case based on need rather than large sums of money or even to help us outside of court for a fee. Ours would not yield a million-dollar settlement, and did have some twists, but we were willing to p...ay his fees. He refused to take the case and stated that no one else was likely to due to the small monetary value. Guess those stereotypes of PI attorneys are not that far off.

20 years of dependability

Rich has helped me with business and personal items for 20 years. His advice is trustworthy, and not an attempt to inflate his billable hours. There were several times he handled issues to avoid court appearances, which saves my time and $. He's also referred me to associates in his office for certai...n items that he didn't specialize in, which was very helpful.

A Tiger in court and a Real Person in the office

Mr. Walsh is an excellant attorney who really knows his way around a courtroom. He is tough and fights for his clients. But what I like most is that when he is talking to his clients, he is a real person. He does not talk down to his clients. He works well with them to get the informatiom from his cl...ients and let's them know what is a reasonable outcome. If you want to deal with a down to earth person who turns into a tiger in the courtroom, you have found him.
