I’ve used David’s services twice after he came highly recommended by a close friend. From start to finish, David made both cases smooth, transparent, and efficient. David has a great deal of experience and this really helps to avoid lots of unnecessary and costly movement in the court system. I now have custody of all my children and owe a great deal of credit to David’s knowledge and experience in dealing with these matters.
I first met WALKER when a company opened up using almost identical name as mine they just added two letters to there's my customers was totally confused and was tricked into using them instead of me after about a year and a half of litigation we prevailed and forced that company to change there name that company closed their doors after only six months later so I recommend Mr. Walker completely

I am one of the few native Atlantans and I'm a Georgia guy, lived here most of my life, and attended the University of Georgia undergraduate and law school.
I started as a closing attorney out of law school. Because of the ups and downs of the real estate market, I branched into litigation and other areas. I have done criminal defense cases, serious injury cases, medical malpractice, medical device, divorce, bankruptcy, business litigation, and small business and corporate. I have even set up a few pension and profit-sharing plans back in the day. I became a certified mediator about 15 years ago.
These days I concentrate on wills, probate and estates, trusts, and divorce-related cases. We still help businesses, set up small corporations, write contracts, purchase and sale, and do some injury cases and other types of litigation. There's a lot of information about cases we have handled over the years on our website.
I have a wife and four children of whom I'm very proud. My oldest is a biomedical engineer and patent agent in Atlanta, and in law school and the other is a realtor in Dallas Texas. I have a stepdaughter who is a business cost analyst and a stepson in the construction business. And four grandchildren! When not involved with work or family, I enjoy golf, fishing, and snow skiing.

Great attorney
Mr. Walker represented my company in 3 cases, in state and magistrate court. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and represented the company well. I was extremely impressed by his thoroughness in dissecting the opponent's cases, addressing each piece of evidence. He knew what to address, and what to ignore. We prevailed in 2 cases and reached a settlement agreement in the 3 case. Highly recommend David and his law firm.

Exceptional Attorney
I hired David S. Walker to represent the Estate in a “Will” probate contest. David did a great job. He always returned phone calls promptly and explained all procedures of the pretrial motion hearings and during the three days of trial. In court, he was professional, well prepared, confident and calm, organized, and thorough. He had a good rapport with the judge, and was polite to all the witnesses on both sides.
David spent the necessary time to research all the case law and find cases that he presented in an excellent closing argument that ultimately won the day. David is an exceptional attorney.

Review of David Walker
I have hired David Walker to act as my attorney many times for both business and personal legal matters over a 15 year period. He was hired as my attorney to help me successfully execute my parent’s will. He was hired for a lawsuit my company had with a contractor who refused to pay me as a subcontractor. I was awarded and receved all the money due me. Most recently, I hired David to negotiate a Buy-Sell Agreement for my company. This negotiation was settled very satisfactorily. I would recommend David for both personal and business legal matters.

The lawyer, and his office personal, have help me with and thru several situations. From a divorce,property sells to HOA problems. I have always had prompt and courteous service from Mr. Walker and wouldn’t consider any other attorney. After 20+ years of providing me with excellent advise and walking me thru everything needing to be done I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Wills and probate, personal injury,
Mr. David S. Walker has assisted me with legal matters over the past 35 years. He is concentrating on family law, wills and probate, and business matters and he previously worked in many different areas with execellent results. Some years ago I had a personal injury case that was settled quickly due to Mr. Walker's expertise facilitating my case. Mr. Walker has assisted my husband and me with our wills and updated codicils over the past years, he always makes sure we are informed of the current changes in the law and advises us accordingly. I entrusted my Mother to David for her will and other Elder Care legal matters a few years ago. I have referred Mr. Walker 20+ friends over the years for personal injury, divorce proceedings, child custody, etc. and all have been extremely appreciative. I would highly recommend David for your legal matters.

Excellent Outcome
My wife and I meet Mr. Walker in 2010 when he constructed our will. Unfortunately in 2014 I lost my wife to cancer. Walker assisted me in her estate and was able to get it all taken care of with relative ease. Walker is hard working and knows the court system to get you an outcome that is in your favor. I definitely recommend Mr. Walker.

Favorable Outcome
No divorce is pleasant. I know mine was a total nightmare, but having David on my side made it a bit better. He genuinely cared about my family, and always put my children's best interest first. He was knowledgeable in child custody law and set realistic expectations for the outcome. Then, in Court, he presented my case so well that the outcome far exceeded what we were hoping for. I'm so glad I chose David. His experience with Judges in Gwinnett County was reassuring and his assistant Sandy went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. I would recommend David to anyone.

Find a better lawyer
I hired him because of his experience of 40+yrs. I thought i got a great laywer,boy was i wrong. I hired him to defend me in my divorce. I paid him 43,000.00 and in court Carlton Rouse eat him up for lunch. I felt like i just died. For someone with more than 40+yrs, i thought he would do a better job. He likes to use words like " could" "should". He was late on the second day of my hearing, PLEASE FOR ABOUT $300.00 PER HOUR GET A BETTER LAWYER. He did a terrible job defending me.Dont use him to defend you.

Response from David WalkerSeptember 4, 2018
This client had a tough divorce case, and his wife insisted on a jury trial even though they had limited assets. The client was warned about the cost of a trial and readily agreed to go through the jury trial. For some reason, he refused to have us call any witnesses for him. This happened in April 2017 and we are surprised to see this review, it is the 1st complaint we have heard from him. Prior to trial, the judge stated what he would award to each party as the property division, in lieu of the jury trial, in an effort at settlement. The jury brought back almost exactly what the judge predicted.
