Would highly recommend

Wally is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. I have consulted with Wally on a few occasions regarding trust management, including trust management in the bankruptcy context. I have seen him work tirelessly to achieve a positive outcome for a client. I also had the opportunity to hear ...Wally present on the attributes of the Limited Liability Company in Georgia, and I was very impressed at his depth of knowledge, extent of research and professionalism.

Posted by Gwendolyn | July 27, 2012 | Credit Card Fraud

Trustworthy, Efficient, and Skilled: Mr. Nichols Is the Real Deal.

A while back, I gave my credit card number to a charlatan for a supposed business opportunity. I immediately realized my error, but this man would not cancel the transaction. He had worked this system for quite some time and knew the tricks to abuse the consumer. So, even the credit card company coul...d not help me to recover my funds. Wally stepped in and looked meticulously at the case. He applied extensive knowledge, understanding, and strategy and soon had the swindler begging to settle. Even though this is a simplified version of how Wally helped me, he utillized expertise and professional skill to recover my money with an efficiency that caused me the least possible stress. I will always go to Wally first when I need legal advice. I first went to him because I trusted him as a person. Having worked with him on this case, I found that my instincts were correct. He is the real deal, and he takes seriously his clients' rights and needs.

Trying to pick who to hire?.....look no further....Wally is your guy

Amazing, Wally is so knowledgeable and thorough. He is prompt, organized, intelligent, and really personable. I am currently under his advisement and have no regrets. I have been gouged financially by an attorney in the past and know that Wally has integrity and is fair priced for the awesome serv...ices that he provides. I have recommended him and will continue to do so. Sara p.

"I met Wally at a Wealth Counsel seminar. As someone who was investigating the possibility of joining the organization, I was thoroughly impressed by Wally. He is extremely personable and very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to send a referral his way, and he seems like the type of person someone would want to know outside of the professional environment."
