waste of time and money

Save your time and money, don't hire this joke of an attorney. I found out the hard way Why he insists on payment up front, because after he took my $5,000 he ignored me for as long as he could. It was over 3 months before he finally filed the first motion, after me telling him from the very beginnin...g that it was an Important and very urgent matter that needed to be tended to immediately, and him agreeing to it. He did not do what he told me he was going to do. He did not keep his word to me. He acted nice at first, leading me to believe we were on the same page as to how we were going to proceed with the case I was hiring him for, but as soon as I paid him he starts being very rude too. He's VERY slow at getting anything done, he has to be reminded over and over. He made numerous mistakes in my case, once even being called out about it in court by the judge himself. His numerous mistakes caused our case to end up being dragged out a lot longer than it should have been. If I would have hired the correct attorney to start with it would have saved me a LOT of time, inconvenience, and money. Dealing with Walter was a terrible experience that I don't wish on anybody else. He's not with his former partners anymore. He got his father to help him start over with trying to rebuild his reputation. For a while now he has been offering 'incentives' to clients in return for writing flattering reviews for him online. Beware.
