Complicated controversial case with excellent results!
My company was being sued with frivolous demoralizing accusations. The news of my case went worldwide. Larry fielded every reporter’s questions from CNN to the NY Times (while he was on vacation!!!) Larry along with his outstanding team took an honest aggressive approach and freed my company from the suit. I completely trust Larry Walters whole-heartedly and have no doubts he is sincere and looking out for by best interest. Larry has been my lawyer for over 3 years and I highly recommend Walters Law Group for your representation. He is simply the best.
Lawrence is an excellent attorney, not only for his knowledge, and ability to get results, but most importantly due to his responsiveness and dedication to get things done. Throughout a very complex situation Lawrence made himself completely available to talk (whether by phone, email, Skype, etc), and work out tough and specific solutions for our issues. Highly recommended.

Thoughtful and nuanced
I contacted the Walters Law Group for a consultation regarding a new online business venture in the adult entertainment industry.
In speaking with Mr. Walters, I was impressed by his ability to address all of my questions in a thoughtful and nuanced manner. He displayed great understanding of the subject matter, and perhaps more importantly, an ability to communicate that understanding in a comprehensive yet concise fashion. I came to our consultation with a host of complex questions, and left with meaningful answers to all of them. The firm also prepared a handful of documents for me, and thoroughly reviewed each of them to ensure I understood them fully.
Initially I was only looking for a consultation, however after speaking with Mr. Walters I was thoroughly impressed, and after some reflection I decided it was in my best interests to become a client of the firm. I'm glad I did.

Gamblin Consultation
The Attorney was very professional. Each of the topics discussed were explained in detail and compared with the respective Law, but the most valuable thing was the advice on what we should not do and what we can do within the framework of the Law. Excellent. Thanks.

Incredible breadth of knowledge on 1st amendment issues
I'm the Senior Strategist for Woodhull Freedom Foundation. Larry Walters is our general counsel and also one of the lead attorneys on the lawsuit, Woodhull v. United States, that we filed challenging SESTA-FOSTA. Walters has done an excellent job keeping the organization appraised of the status of the suit at every stage. The documents he has contributed to (motions, briefs, responses) are all thoroughly researched and clearly written. In addition to his work on our case, he also routinely provides legal advice to the organization in a way that is constructive, clear, and prompt. I would hire Walters for any case related to first amendment issues or internet issues.

Advice that i will heed, to keep me from going to prison...thx Larry
Larry charged me a fair fee for a phone consultation, in which he detailed every aspect of the new federal Section 230 laws along with potential civil and criminal penalties associated with various adult internet business models. He was very knowledgeable on the subject matter and his advice was extremely helpful in allowing me to make appropriate business decisions. Peace !!

Top Legal Expertise and Guidance for Adult Products Project
After conducting a national search for top legal expertise in website design and regulatory compliance for new adult products, our company retained Larry Walters. We were not disappointed. Larry thoroughly and quickly grasped all aspects of the new project including a variety of thorny practical and legal issues, some of which we did not anticipate. Larry assisted in establishing systems that are compliant with complex legal regulations but also are consumer and business friendly. He became an integral (and well liked!) member of our team. We couldn't have asked for better results.

Highly recommended for online businesses!
Lawrence always has great attention for details and is very knowledgeable about complex legal issues. He doesn't shy away from given his opinion on the legal risks involved and provides clear answers with enough background information to make an informed decision about the issues at hand. He has thorough knowledge about the technical and legal aspects of operating an online business, and is always sharp on new legal developments that could affect your business. We've been working together for almost 10 years and we are looking forward to the next decade of solid legal advice from an highly experienced attorney.

First Choice for First Amendment and Free Speech Representation
Larry is the best attorney we have ever worked with. His dedication to free speech and to the first amendment is in his DNA and he has the highest of ethical standards. If you have a complicated free speech issue - look no further.

Excellent professional service
I've now worked with Lawrence on some very complex matters over the past 18month. My business is within the adult cam sector so if this is also anybody else's field that needs professional help I fully suggest contacting Lawrence. I found his advice solid and his services A+. I would most certainly recommend Lawrence and his team and am glad to have their knowledge as part of my project.

There is no better attorney!
We have worked with Larry Walters since 2004 when we first reached out to him about a case he was handling. We were told he would be hard to reach, but he was completely accessible and stunningly brilliant with his answers about the case. From that day to today we have relied on Larry for his advice and legal counsel. He is the “go-to” person for First Amendment issues and internet law. His guidance on civil rights and controversial issues has been invaluable and he has often been the difference for us in achieving a successful outcome. Larry has represented our Foundation on many levels, including the United States Supreme Court. We are honored to have him serve as Legal Counsel for Woodhull Freedom Foundation.

I would recommend him to everyone. He was very thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable and utmost most understanding. He understands clients financials and is willing to work with the client, which is more important. Highly recommended.
Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.
What determines Avvo Rating?
Experience & background
Years licensed, work experience, education
Legal community recognition
Peer endorsements, associations, awards
Legal thought leadership
Publications, speaking engagements
Discipline
Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. I have been reading the avvo answers of this lawyer and always agree with his statements. I just read one of his legal guides and was very impressed. If you are looking for a lawyer, I am sure Lawrence would be a good choice!"
Constitutional Attorney | Jun 24
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I first met Larry Walters as opposing counsel in a copyright infringement case some 12 years ago. Since then, we have become colleagues and friends. Don't let the boyish good looks fool you, Walters is one of the wisest and most experienced lawyers in the country when it comes to the First Amendment. He is a true believer the the importance of free speech and a free press, but he never lets his own ideals get in the way of making decisions that are right for his client. He is a brilliant strategist, but always considers the client first. You can't do better."
Litigation Attorney | Feb 16
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"When I became a member of the First Amendment Lawyers Association fourteen years ago, Larry was among the very experienced members who warmly welcomed me. Only around three or four years later, he asked me to be local counsel on behalf of a Maryland prison officer who had been suspended over protected First Amendment activity conducted before he applied for his prison job.
Before joining Larry in that litigation, I already knew that he was tireless and effective in his work, and his peformance in that litigation underlined that all the more.
Those needing the type of services Larry provides are fortunate to have him available to them."
Criminal defense Attorney | Sep 30
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Mr. Walters continues to impress and provide excellent, well-reasoned, and common sense advice on Avvo. I learn from him every day and that is definitely saying something. I have been practicing for 24 years and have been a judge, magistrate, prosecutor, and private attorney. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone."
Internet Attorney | Jun 11
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse Larry's work in the areas of both Internet law and constitutional law. He is an uncompromising advocate for rights-protection as well as a provocative thinker. He has a deep loyalty to his clients."
Constitutional Attorney | Mar 19
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"Larry was my mentor (still is). His skills and ethics are beyond the 10.0 rating that he already has here. As established as I am, I still often find myself consulting with him. As an attorney, you can find no better co-counsel. I recommend him without reservation."
Constitutional Attorney | May 18
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Larry is one of the preeminent lawyers at the intersection between the First Amendment and the Internet. He also has a broad range of experience litigating threats to First Amendment rights in more conventional venues. Larry is an active member of the First Amendment Lawyer's Association where he gives presentations twice a year on recent developments in the law pertaining to the Internet and intellectual property. The FALA is a nationwide organization of attorneys practicing primarily in the field of censorship and free speech issues. Many of the most important First Amendment cases before the Supreme Court are argued by FALA members. I cannot recommend Larry highly enough."
