Excellent Lawyer: Patient, Kind, Compassionate, and Ethical

I contacted Angela Walker regarding an issue I had with a former employer where I felt I had been mistreated. On multiple occasions, she took the time out of what I am sure is an extremely busy schedule to research my options, despite the fact I was not able to pay her anything for her effort and ha...d not even agreed to retain her as my lawyer. While the stereotype of lawyers is often fast talking, money focused, immoral opportunists who care only about themselves - she proved to be the exact opposite of all of those things. She was kind, compassionate and really took her time explaining my options to me. It was really a pleasure to speak to someone with a moral compass like her. In the end I decided not to pursue the particular course of action she recommended for personal reasons, but I am very appreciative of the time she spent with me and have the highest regard for the way she treated me. She is obviously a very ethical person and I would certainly recommend her to anyone I know if they ever needed similar services. She is a pleasure to deal with and I have no doubt she would provide top notch reperesentation.

Avvo Rating

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.
