Tough OVI Case

Mr Walton was an amazing lawyer. For my circumstances we did not think we would get much out of it, yet he was determined and patient. He worked very hard and came out with a grand slam of a result. Very personable and down to earth. Would recommend to anyone.

My experience with Bob

Bob was infinitely helpful and supportive in what was the most difficult time in my life. He guided me through my case and helped me secure the best possible outcome in a situation where I thought my future career aspirations were thrown out the window by my own lack of good judgement. I cannot recom...mend him enough and will be forever grateful for the time, work, and knowledge he put in to help and support me.

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.

Passionate and Effective

Bob is a tour de force in the courtroom. Seeing him in action and watching him win, I’ve never been more impressed by a litigator who advocates for the people’s rights. This is a man you want in your corner.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer (DUI and DWI)

Mr. Walton was referred to me from a dear friend and former law school classmate, it was the best lawyer recommendation I have had and I'm a practicing lawyer for over 3o years. During a very difficult time, Mr. Walton made a material difference in our family lives. Bob, was responsive, knowledgeab...le and emotional supportive and, most importantly, he got results! He's direct and no nonsense and clearly explained what we had to do and what should be left for him to do. The bottom line, Mr. Walton made a difference in our lives and I can highly recommend Mr. Walton for anyone needing a smart, tough, knowledgeable, trustworthy criminal defense lawyer. David
