1 Felony's 2 misdemeanors

To whom it may concern, Robert is a stud & not only as a attorney but as a person. For someone like myself who found was in some pretty serious trouble and was also on the inside of a jail cell for the very first time in my life, I thought it would be a couple months like that. Turns out some family ...members know an attorney by the name of Robert Walton and with his years of practice assured me that I would be okay through the whole situation and periodically calling and checking in to make sure the family and I was doing good. I am very lucky to have crossed paths with such a good man.

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.

Fair and Honest

I hired Mr. Walton in the Summer of 2018. I had a pending Felony 3. He was able to drop most of my charges on my behalf. He knows the law and is willing to listen to your side of the story. He is kind and compassionate. I would not hesitate to hire him again. God willing that day will never come aga...in.

Highly Recommend Bob

Bob handled two matters for me and I got the outcome I wanted on both. He is also on top of all of the things that happen outside of a courtroom, in planning stages, filings, followups, and always w/quick and clear communication.

Fantastic Representation

Bobby did a fantastic job handling handling our son's legal problems. There were a number of misdemeanor offenses in a short period of time. It was all very confusing, but Bobby explained everything simply and clearly. He made sure that we understood what was happening, and he was very patient ans...wering all of our questions. Bobby is a great calming factor in a tough situation. We were doubly pleased once we saw Bobby in the courtroom. He has an excellent rapport with the judges and prosecuting attorneys, which is essential to make things happen. He also spoke definitively and clearly when presenting our son's case to the judge, especially when compared to some of the other lawyers. I am very happy that Bobby represented our son. He helped us sympathetically through a trying time. Most importantly, he was able to work with the judges and prosecutors in order to reduce or dismiss all of our son's charges. Bobby Walton is an excellent advocate for his clients!!
