Walter Shurden Elder Law.

Have been working with Walter and his team now for about 3 years on an estate for a cousin of mine that I am trustee of. Have found that Walter is very honest, knowledgeable and has been extremely helpful thru this entire process. His team is also exceptional. Would highly recommend him to anyone... needing an elder care attorney.

Avvo Rating

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.
