Posted by Phillip | December 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Recommended

Phillip Walker is definitely an attorney I would refer anyone to that is faced with a divorce. He gives you clear and reasonable expectations for your individual situation. Mr. Walker was always very prompt to return any phone calls or correspondence. In my case, and I would expect all others, he do...es not run up fees on ticky tack items and didn't charge for a quick question or update. All motions filed and things of that nature were always explained in detail what was being done and why. He pursued my interests aggressively and and ultimately I had a very favorable divorce from my spouse both financially as well as with my parental agreement. His fees are by my judgement very fair. Mr. Walker is honest, easy to talk with and works hard to deliver the most favorable outcome for his client.

I highly recommend Mr. Phillip Walker

Mr. Walker was referred to me by several close friends when I was beginning to go through a divorce and separation. He gave me sound, legal advice and guidance until my divorce was finalized. He was responsive to my calls / emails and was professional and respectful when he represented me in court.... In addition, his assistant has been helpful and responsive, as well. I am thankful to him for the kindness and understanding he showed me through a difficult time. I highly recommend Mr. Walker and will continue to refer people to him for their legal needs in the area of Family Law.

recommended family law attorney

I've had the privilege to know Mr. Walker the last 9 years as he has represented me and my daughter in our child support case against her father. He has been consistent in his representation and explanation of the law, his communication has been at his client's convenience even if after normal bus...iness hours. He has managed our court case for 9 years through all of it's changes, navigating the changes in legislation, culture and adding grace with a finesse I have appreciated as the years have gone by. He has always sought my daughter's best and the law's best representation through all 9 years of our lives. I am eternally grateful for Phillips guidance and representation. I have recommended Phillip to everyone I have come across that has considered family matters and more because of his depth of knowledge.

Excellent

I hired Mr. Walker after firing my first attorney. In my opinion, Phillip and his associate are about the best you will find in Memphis. What I appreciated most was that he did not seem to be interested in running up the legal fee meter. Most attorneys, treat your case like a money making ventur...e only. Phillip's fees are very reasonable and you get way more than you pay for. He is an experienced attorney who knows the law, the processes, and how to get the most out of your case. He will tell you straight forward what is, and what isn't, worth fighting over. Furthermore, he is an EXCELLENT negotiator who takes a firm stand for your position. What I appreciated most was that he is very good about keeping you updated about your case and promptly returnig phone calls. I would highly recommend Phillip Walker.
