Kenneth Edward Walton II

After a long successful career, I incurred additional post graduate mounting student loans and other debts--drowning! I was facing the uncertainty and the challenges that seem beyond any possible solutions in-sight. Attorney Kenneth Edward Walton II took on my case and did not make me feel like a d...ebtor--a financial failure, and he assured me that I did not have to face this monumental challenge alone, and was ready to come to Chicago and go bat for me in Illinois. His firm is experienced and highly recommended and knowledgeable about bankruptcy in Illinois. Attorney Walton is skilled and gave me total confidence every step of the way; he made me feel like a human being with hope and dignity once again! He is a well-versed attorney in the varied types of bankruptcy.

A long time friend of mine who is a transactional lawyer referred me to Ken. Originally, I met with him, but went with a cheaper, less experienced lawyer that I knew instead. I got sick of invoices nothing to really show as progress. He just kept saying that things take time. My friend advised me to ...go back and talk to Ken again, and I we reach and agreement for him to take over. He immediately filed for mediation, and then got me a very nice settlement before even going there. The first lawyer had me expecting to be mucked up in the case for years. Ken was super aggressive, very smooth talker and put it to bed in weeks. His hourly rate was and higher than the fired lawyer, but Ken got more done in way less time. Got what I paid for with both lawyers. I now know better lawyers do better work, get better results, and cost less money than cheaper ones. Also, Ken did great job helping make my main service agreement more clear and protect me better.

I have known Kenneth for a long time and hired him for multiple things. I met him years before first hiring him, which was for a bogus new employment agreement that my employer gave us all 24 hours to sign or we were fired. He figured out that the company was taking on a new client and that the new c...lient required stronger language for confidentiality and disclosure. He believed that my company then saw as a good opportunity to also make it harder to leave the company and work elsewhere. He modified the agreement so that there was almost no non-compete at all, and so that they couldn’t retain commissions owed to me if I left before they were paid. The company accepted the modified agreement with no problem at all. I left that company, and started my own smaller but similar company. He negotiated the lease for my business and drafted all of my client and employment agreements.

I called Mr. Walton after reading all of his excellent reviews on AVVO. Despite having successfully made all of my Chapter 13 plan payments, Chase informed me that I owed them more money from payments that I didn’t make to them while in bankruptcy. Before calling Mr. Walton, I called my bankruptcy at...torney many times and got not help and no answer. After to speaking to Mr. Walton, I wanted to hire him right away, but he would not let me. He insisted on speaking with my bankruptcy attorney first. He said that I could save money if the same attorney dealt with Chase. He said that if my attorney did not respond to him or didn’t seem knowledgeable enough to resolve the issue, then he would represent me. Less than 8 hours later, Mr. Walton got my bankruptcy  attorney to agree to file the necessary motions to get Chase to stop bothering me. In the end, I hired The Walton Law Firm to represent me in rebuild my credit and to help me refinance my mortgage. I also learned he can help me protect my family by preparing
