Great Service

The team at the Fayssoux Firm basically saved my life. After a painful wreck that was not my fault, I couldn't work and my medical bills were piling up. The insurance companies kept delaying my payment until I contacted Wally at the Fayssoux Firm. They took care of everything. Finally I had someo...ne that would listen to me and not pass me off to someone else. They got my claim paid and it was even more than I originally thought I was going to get.

An attorney you have to babysit

We closed on a property that had a cloud on the title that was bought at tax sale. This attorney's office was impossible to ever get in touch with. They never came through on anything they promised, and we constantly had to stay on top of them to get anything done. I would NEVER use them again.

WRONG LAYWER !!!! I'm sorry this individual had a bad experience but they have reviewed the wrong lawyer. I don't do real estate closings and certainly did not represent this individual. This review was meant for someone else.

Skilled and effective trial attorney - best I have ever seen

I am a consultant and expert witness and have worked with Mr. Fayssoux in respect to numerous cases with many of them resulting in a trial. In my capacity I have the opportunity to work with many other lawyers and without exception Mr. Fayssoux is the best attorney I have had the pleasure to work wit...h and by far the most gifted trial attorney I have seen in court.

Highly recommend

I employed Wally based on a recommendation from a Law Enforcement Officer a telling example of the respect he has earned in his community. Honest, ethical, and personable, Mr. Fayssoux provided superb service. I was very impressed by his professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and..., most importantly, his sincere interest in serving our case.

Fantastic Attorney!!!

If you are looking for a lawyer who truly cares about you and your case, Wally is the lawyer for you. Wally is extremely knowledgeable, and has always taken the time to answer every question I've had, no matter how small. He was always very honest and upfront about my case, and I felt Wally and his s...taff always went out of their way to keep me informed during my case. You can definitely tell that being a lawyer is something Wally is very passionate about. I always felt like he made decisions based on what was best for me, and not based on what was convenient. I truly can not say enough positive things about him, he really is an amazing lawyer and person.
