Find a new lawyer

We recently hired Walter Moore to help with a child support and visitation modification case. He was never available and never returned calls. He never turned in the paperwork for the discovery motion so we had to go to a hearing and he didn’t even show. Judge had to find him and give him 10 days to ...get the paperwork work in that we had given him prior. He never handed it in and we got served with contempt papers . It was at this point that we had to hire another lawyer who handled everything within a week. I read several reviews on him and it appears he used to be very good , but looking at more recen reviews clearly shows something changed. He is definitely not worth hiring now.

Walter the best

I hired Walter Moore for a custody case, he is extremely thorough and to the point. I enjoyed working with him during this very crucial time for me. Walter is very aggressive when fighting for his clients. I would recommend him to any one who needs a great lawyer.. Walter will win!!!! If necessary he... will always be our family attorney. Thanks for all you have Done for me and my family. We appreciate all you hard work.

Child Custody Case

Ours was a custody case for our granddaughter. Walter came highly recommended through internet searches and online reviews. From the initial consult Walter was supremely confident that we would win our case. He walked us through each and every step of the interview process, evidence gathering and p...retrial preparation. It has been a six month process. There were many time I thought we were never going to get custody but Walter kept his confidence and was able to calm our worries. He maintained a level of professionalism the likes of which I have rarely seen. He took a terrible situation on his shoulders and was able to bring order back to our lives. He did everything he said he would do and went so far beyond that. When all was said and done our case was the proverbial "slam dunk." Looking back on the process now, he made it seem so easy and seamless. If you need an attorney you would be doing yourself an injustice if you do not talk to Walter Moore.

Hired attorney

Walter Moore and his team of staff did an outstanding job defending and fighting for me and my children in my divorce case. Mr. Moore is very proficient, liable, and hands on when it comes to representing his clients. Always responded back with me regarding any questions or concerns I may have had us...ually within the same business day. He made a point to make sure I understood everything throughout my whole process. His passion for his clients and law definitely shines when in the court room. I not only got a fair trail, but also at an affordable rate. This guy is awesome and he and his team rocks! I could never thank Walter and his staff enough. In difficult times we all need an advocate to fight for our rights, stand up to the opposing side and take action, I'm grateful to have had the pleasure of Walter and his firm fight for me!
