Posted by anonymous | December 30, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Professional and Responsive

Summer was excellent throughout the process. She explained the ins and outs of Alabama law in clear, accessible terms. This made the entire process feel transparent and gave me confidence that I was making the right decision as it pertained to my own wellbeing and that of my former spouse. Summer was... very responsive as well. She answered all emails within 24 hours with a thoughtful, well-researched response. When it came time to file, Summer was able to give highly specific explanations of what to expect in terms of the timeline. With all said and done, my case was resolved much quicker and more smoothly than I would have otherwise expected.

In my experience with lawyers Mrs. Walker's communication regarding my case was consistent and accurate. I recommend this lawyer with h...igh regard.

Estate planning: Will, Living Will, and Healthcare directive

I highly recommend Summer Walker. She helped me define what I needed regarding estate planning. Summer was accessible and easy to communicate with during the process. The turnaround was very quick.

By far the best attorney out there!

Ms. Walker was fantastic! After many months and a lot of money getting nowhere with a different firm she was able to expedite a much more reasonable financial settling of my matter. She explained everything every step of the way in terms I could understand. Ms. Walker was very fair and understanding ...regarding payment and payment arrangements. I would highly recommend her to anyone - very knowledgeable, very professional, and an overall wonderful 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.
