Awesome Attorney

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

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, sh...e 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

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.
