The attorney you need on your side in a divorce!

When it came time to file for divorce, I was lost. I wanted to find the right attorney without the embarrassment of asking friends or coworkers, so I did what you may be doing right now: I read reviews, and that's what led me to choose Michael Walker. From the beginning to the end of the process..., he was unfailingly attentive, returning emails and calls personally and quickly. He answered every question I had along the way, and carefully explained every step of the process clearly. He prepared me well on my court date, and the entire process went smoothly with no complications. On top of everything else, he was kind. He truly listened to me, and helped me make it through the most difficult situation I have ever been in. I wholeheartedly recommend him. You will be treated with care, respect, and personal attention. Divorce is difficult emotionally, but I've learned that the legal proceedings do not have to be difficult if you have the right attorney on your side. Michael Walker is the attorney you need!

Excellent Service!!!

The reason I hired Mr. Walker was because of all the great reviews. When l text him about questions l had,he would always text me back. My divorce case required a quit claim form. He took care of it,because I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own. I highly recommend him others.

A job well done.

Working with Michael on my divorce was painless, he explained the process step by step and was proven trustworthy. He was very professional and prompt and I really appreciated his dedication to get the job done right.

Uncontested Divorce

Mr Walker was available when I needed him. During a stressful time, the last thing I wanted to deal with was waiting for answers. We had all of our differences settled prior to hiring this lawyer, so it was only a matter of getting the details onto the proper forms and getting them filed properly. Th...e good: All of the details were handled with no errors. There was minimal input needed from me once everything was filed. Almost everything was done via mail, phone or email. I did not have to attend the hearing(s). The bad: I found the price (beyond mandatory filing fees) to be high, however, it is the standard for Attorneys in the area (and I believe that Mr. Walker is probably on the low side as far as the standard goes) Also, I had forgotten to make a copy of the marital dissolution agreement (in my stressed-out state) and was told that I would be charged another 10.00 for a copy. At the time, that left a very bitter taste in my mouth, after the fees that I had just paid for a pretty simple divorce. Overall: The process was explained pretty well to me, and everything went smooth, with very little exception. I liked that emails were answered very quickly. Mr. Walker does not hire a receptionist, so when you call, you get him on the phone. I actually liked that, although I only had to speak with him by phone one time.

Michael Walker is a compassionate knowledgeable attorney.

Being a new resident in Nashville I needed to find an attorney to help me obtain a divorce. From my first phone call with Michael Walker I knew I was in good hands. He guided me through the procedure and answered my questions. Imagine my surprise when he called me or emailed me immediately when I had... a question or concern. He is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend him.
