never returned email

I never received a return email/call. After waiting a few weeks I called on a day off & was told my case would be a conflict of interest. Would have been nice to know within a week of my email.

I do apologize for the delay in responding to you. I have a very aggressive filter on my email such that a new message will usually get relegated to the junk folder. While I try to check that folder on a regular basis I find it difficult to catch what I need to catch.

Expert Knowledge

I think this attorney is a genuine expert in his field. My employer’s insurance company denied benefits to me multiple times for multiple reasons. Mr. Walker has successfully argued each case. He has helped me receive continuing benefits for the full cost of each medical treatment that was recomme...nded by my doctors. He did this instead of settling my case for an amount that would not have covered all of my expenses. I thank Mr. Walker and his expert understanding for each success in court.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
