Review Nakeshia Walls

Awesome Attorney

Posted by

Attorney Walls was awesome doing our consultation Zoom meeting. She was very knowledgeable about what was going on. She get a 10 from me. In the future if I need her again I will hire her.

Very Good!

I hired Ms. Walls for help with opposing a relocation. She was very pleasant to work with throughout. She responded to any communication I sent very promptly. We had a case that could have been tough in court based on the TN law. We went to mediation and she got the most we could get out of it. Don’t hesitate to call. She’ll be a good choice. I will definitely hire again if needed.

The perfect Lawyer

Posted by

My case was just finalized yesterday Dec.5,2018. It was custody based. Anyway, Mrs. Walls truly fulfilled every promise advertised and more. She was available when I needed and I know I was probably very worrisome at times she but remained a comfortable level of professionalism. Just to be clear, she wasn't overly professional or just telling what I want to hear either. Her knowledge of the law was motivation for me to read and get my own understanding. Throughout the process, Mrs. Walls continuously reassured me as well as helped me maintain a level head when I doubted myself. She was very thorough but made sure I understood both pros and cons of my situation with a consistent reminder of the most important factors in the case which where the best interest for the children. From the time I came across her page I never doubted her. She took time away from a personal situation of her own to be in court with me so for me, that itself said a lot more than any review can say. Mrs. Walls thank you again for helping my family and I reach a level in life that we couldn't by ourselves. WE THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW MY GRATITUDE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GREAT FAMILY LAWYER. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR CAREER. Mrs.Daniel

Awesome attorney

Posted by

I came to Attorney Walls after my first attorney stopped returning my phone calls and then after trying to prepare my own divorce paperwork online without success. I had a difficult spouse who kept moving from city-to-city and changing jobs. Unfortunately due to a lack of cooperation from him, we were forced to change my divorce from uncontested to contested (more $$$). Attorney Walls was very supportive and answered all questions that I had throughout the process. She is very knowledgeable, understanding, and cares about getting you your desired results as quickly as the courts will allow. She was definitely a breath of fresh air and a God-send. If it wasn't for her flexible payment options, I honestly don't know how I would have been able to afford it while trying to financially support 3 children on my own.

Divorce process smoothly ran

Posted by

Mrs. Walls was knowledgeable in helping me understand the process with filing a divorce. She explained evrything in a manner in which I could understand what to expect. Drafting paperwork and processing things went very smoothly and in a timely manner. I would recommend Mrs. Walls for legal counsel in the areas she specializes in.

Quick, Responsive, Knowlegable & Helpful

Ms Walls helped me out when in a jam (landlord/tenant). She was quick to respond and informed me of the law and my rights and where I made mistakes too. She is the kind of lawyer you want to have on your side.
