Personal Injury 45%

I have handled many personal injury matters directly and working with sub-specialty experts. My clients can rest knowing I fight for their rights with my firm and the best in the business. In view of my having decided to quit practicing most forms of criminal law and all divorce and custody litigation, I have decided to devote myself to helping injured people with their claims.

Posted by anonymous | August 17, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Do Not hire this attorney.

I hired Walker Chandler as my counsel to represent me in a criminal matter. He had an entire year before I had to go to court but he chose not to investigate any viable defense I possibly had during that year. Also Me Chandler failed to investigate the actual circumstances of my case. He barely knew ...what the discovery packet even stated. Mr Chandler failed to appear at a few of my pretrial hearings. I showed up and I'm not an attorney so I'm wondering how he missed them. In conclusion I am neither a repeat offender nor have I ever had a prior conviction but nonetheless, I received the maximum amount of time in prison I could possibly get. Literally Mr Chandler did nothing to help me at all and I paid him. I threw away my money and I'm writing this review in hopes you don't make the same mistake. Did NOT hire Walker Chandler as your attorney at all.

Illegal search and seizure of a vehicle case.

Mr. Chandler presented my son against drug charges based upon an illegal search and seizure and was able to get the case dismissed. Mr. Chandlier knows his stuff.

Down to earth

Walker has worked on a few of my cases in the last 7 years. He has been very forth coming with the pros and cons of each individual case that I hired him for. I may not like his prediction but atleast I know what to expect. He is an honest man. I was going through divorce decree dispute with my ex.... I decided to give Walker a call. I knew him back when he worked with the boy scouts. My two oldest sons where in his den. He struck me then as a patient man who enjoys helping youngsters build character. The case came out positive for me. Since then I have retained his services for other issues. He is a good lawyer and a great fella to know.

Best lawyer that I would've ver expected.

I would describe walker as a relentless lawyer, I was fighting a traffic accident that I was involved in about 2 years ago, Walker will actually give you all the time you need to expose your case, and he handled the rest of the case completely with a great and very knowledgeable attitude which helpe...d me avoid to pay about $4k to the person who summon me. It has been almost one year since the case was closed. Him and his fierce team of lawyers will be able to do the best they can to assist you. Sincerely, J.C. Atlanta GA

Review for Walker L. Chandler

We have known Walker for almost 30 years and he has served as our attorney on many occasions during this time period. Walker is an extremely bright, aggressive, and knowledgable and honest man. It has truly been an honor in knowing him and having him represent our family in many areas of the law....
