No recommended

As posted on google reviews: About 2 months ago, I had submitted a negative review about her work and shortly after, she started responding and getting things moving forward again. So I removed my review but left my stars. I have been working with Summer since the beginning of March of this year (2...020) to get my uncontested divorce done. After receiving payment, she disappeared for a little more than 3 months. After posting my review, she promptly emailed me and apologized and informed me it was a personal/family emergency (totally understandable) and that none of her colleagues or staff at her office were on the same page as her and didn’t continue her work for her. I then received my first draft of papers to get signed. After needing to revise the papers, I was able to get in contact with her fairly easy considering the time before, we had a phone conversation and I was told that the new set of papers would be emailed to me the following day. It has now been over a month, and I have yet to get my new papers, even after having sent multiple emails, calling her cell phone and office several times, and even trying to go to her office (With no luck, obviously). I am VERY unhappy with the lack of communication, the length that this process has taken, even after being told it would only take around 3 months, and the lack of professionalism. She seems like a nice woman, but wouldn’t recommend if you are wanting anything done within a certain time frame. UPDATE: 2/4/2021 Summer reached out and explained as best she could her reasons for being unprofessional. I gave her yet another chance, with the same thing to happen. The last email received from her was December 8th, 2020. I have since gotten a new lawyer. Things that I was told by her regarding legal matters in my divorce do not really match with what my new lawyer has been saying. Kind of a red flag within itself. UPDATE: 3/11/2021 I filed a report with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). She was unresponsive to them as well as myself (still). They sent her the notice of my complaint 2 times and never got a response. My case is now closed with them, and they will be making a report regarding her and her business to post on their website, if they haven’t already. Conclusion: Take your business elsewhere. Her practice is only what I can describe plain and simply as, a money hungry fraud.

Great Lawyer

I used Summer Walker for my uncontested divorce. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I liked that she could do everything over email/phone, as we are not in the same county and my ex-husband and I are on very different schedules it was convenient to get everything taken care ...of. Even after our paperwork was filed and everything was complete, she answered questions I had. I was very impressed with how smoothly everything went while we were going through a very un-smooth situation.

Highly recommend!

Summer was great! She helped me through a very frustrating divorce that my initial lawyer couldn't really help with as he was not a family lawyer. Summer explained the procedures and the process. She listened to my requests, explained her reasonings and was very reasonable with her prices. I wish I... would have found her sooner!

A lawyer that Cares!

Hello all, I'm from California and I hired Mrs. Walker to represent me in a child custody case. Mrs. Walker has exceeded my expectations while winning my case. In my experience with lawyers Mrs. Walker's communication regarding my case was consistent and accurate. I recommend this lawyer with h...igh regard.

Great Divorce Lawyer

I contacted Mrs. Walker for an uncontested divorce. She was readily available every time I contacted her with questions or concerns, making the whole process go by smoothly.
