Michael L. Walker is also proud to represent the hard working individuals who are his clients. He grew up in a small town in the Midwest. He watched as his family and friends, mostly farmers and factory workers, never seemed to have access to the legal system. They were the ones who always seemed to be taken advantage of by the big businesses, banks and insurance companies of the world. It gives him great satisfaction to stand up and fight for these same people each and every day.

 

Michael L. Walker, takes a straight forward approach to representing his clients. He will do all the things we can do to enhance a client's case - to put it in the best light possible.

His experience is invaluable, and he is happy to use it to each client's advantage.

 

With his experience, he is in a better position to educate his clients educating means talking to his clients, informing them, taking time to explain. This is part of the service a lawyer should provide. An informed client makes better decisions and is more often satisfied. Client satisfaction is the ultimate goal.

Professional, personable and Persistent
Michael Walker and his amazing staff handled my personal injury case and went above and beyond to get my case resolved without going to trial. They succeeded by standing their ground to make sure all my medical bills got paid. The awesomeness of the whole process was that I was so surprised in the end with a settlement check that I desperately needed but wasn’t expecting!!! I would highly recommend Michael and his amazing staff. They were professional, personable and persistent through the whole process!

Fantastic team to work with
The Walker Law Group was a fantastic team to work with. They always had my best interests in mind during all points of my case. Their sound advice, recommendations, knowledge and absolute professionalism made a world of difference for me during a seemingly difficult period of time. From the admin team, to the law team and all the way up to Michael Walker, they are all top notch and extremely organized. They helped me achieve the best possible outcome for my case and really held my hand through the process. I am very happy and truly feel they were the best representation for the job. I would highly recommend using Walker Law Group. The experience level they bring to the table is hard to beat in the Tampa area. Thanks again Walker Law Group!

Beyond Pleased
Michael Walker did not back down from my insurance company. Michael dealt with my insurance company about my injury case. I thought my insurance company was on my side. I quickly learned they were not. Michaels experience helped me reach the result I did. He knows a lot about the law and so does his staff. I am beyond pleased with how Michael Walker handled my injury case.

Put My Life Back On Track
I was involved in an accident that resulted in injuries. The first thought i had was how will I pay for the medical bills. A relative told me about Mr. Walker. I scheduled a consultation. After hiring Mr. Walker I was no longer worries about my medical bills. I was in touch with the firm the whole time of my case. I always got an answer or a quick call back. Thanks to Mr. Walker I was able to focus on living my life and healing from my injuries

The Best Possible Outcome For My Situation
I hired Mike Walker after a slip and fall incident. It was horrible from the beginning. However everything changed after hiring Mike Walker. He took care of everything. He even found a doctor that treated and helped repair my injuries.

Extremely Knowledgeable
Mr. Walker was a breath of fresh air. He completely changed my pre-notion on attorneys. Mr. Walker is very knowledgeable and resourceful. He explained the process of dealing with an insurance company involving an automobile accident. I felt confident with him as my attorney and was very pleased with my case results.

refreshing...
I hired Mike Walker as my attorney over two years ago when i was involved in an auto accident. With all of the advertising it was difficult to know exactly where to turn. I did some research and saw Mike's certifications for trial work and I knew his firm was qualified to handle my case. They kept me updated, informed and confident in their abilities. I would recommend Mike Walker and his firm to anyone in need of a good lawyer.

| Hired Attorney
Insurance settled for $40,000. I got $14,000.
The title is all you need to know. The insurance company for the other party (who was 100% at fault) settled my case for $40,000. I got a check for $14,000 in the end. Is that the kind of settlement you want? If so, let Mike Walker be your attorney.
