Client Review

Robert helped me through my DWI with great communication and knowledge. He answered all my questions and was very accessible. I would recommend his services to anybody!

Unbelievably Good Lawyer

Bobby was the best lawyer I could have asked for. I was arrested for an OVI case and blew a high BAC during it. I hired Bobby the next day and he held my hand through everything. Was always communicative and told me exactly how things were going to happen. He was the most diligent OVI lawyer ever. Di...d a ton of work upfront and then put in a motion to suppress. His relationships with the prosecutor and magistrate and his work ethic was the reason I was able to get my sentencing bumped down to a Physical Control charge. Bobby really has a gold standard to doing things. On top of that, he is a great individual and I really enjoyed getting to know him throughout the process. I would recommend him to anyone I know.

The Best

Short summary of what is to follow: HIRE BOBBY WALTON. I wrapped myself up in an ugly OVI situation. This being my first offense, I had no idea where to go or what attorney to choose. I am a young adult and had a lot at stake with my career. Some of my peers lead me in the direction of Robert Walt...on, and I am so greatful I hired him. I contacted Walton the day after my incident and he came to meet me near my house the next day and provided a ride because I was unable to drive (he is very professional and will go out of his way to help you). With the circumstances of my case, I thought I was done for. It was BAD. Walton is relentless and went beyond the call of duty for me. He got me the best possible outcome with my case. I never thought it would have been possible. Walton single handidly saved my career and life. Not only will Bobby remain my lawyer in the future but he is now a friend.

Robert Walton For Hire

Robert helped me to understand every relevant part of my OVI case from the minute I contacted him. He was very thorough in the subsequent weeks in forming the best maneuver possible under the circumstances. He made me feel comfortable and confident before, during, and after the case. Robert is not an... impersonal lawyer, he helped me understand more about myself. I've more than made back the money I spent for his outstanding services in every way. I was told he was the best, and now is my chance to corroborate that! I would highly recommend Robert to anybody who has an OVI, DUI, DWI issue.

Excellent Attorney!

Bobby is a very well-known, respected, and excellent attorney. He is extremely intelligent and knows everything there is to know regarding the law. He is known for his success in suppressing evidence which was clearly shown with my situation. For example, he knew all of specifics in how police o...fficials should handle certain sobriety tests along with the arrest of an OVI which led to removing material evidence from my case. Because of this, Bobby was able to dismiss my OVI charges which seemed near impossible up against my BAC levels. Bobby is not only a great attorney but a great person. In all of our conversations, I could tell he actually listened to me and cared about my well-being, making sure I was ok. He sees the good in people and wants to learn about you. He genuinely wants to help you because he knows the impact these cases can have on someone's life. We all make mistakes in life and Bobby understands that. If you are looking for an attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. Walton. Many people in the area respect him which can get you very far. I am naive when it comes to the cost of attorneys for my situation specifically (OVI). Bobby, himself, will tell you that he is expensive and that you can find an attorney who is cheaper. However, I would say that "this expense" is WELL worth it.
