Child Custody
A friend referred to me to Mr. Wallen. I had a consultation with Mr. Wallen regarding child custody matters. He is highly educated and does it job well. He listens to what you want and fights for you. My only regret is not finding out about his excellent work and hiring him from the beginning.

Amazing to work with, provides results
Erik took my concerns seriously. He was very straight forward and to the point. My expectations were beyond exceeded. He knew exactly how to present the facts/information in the most efficient way possible. I have hired a few different lawyers in the past and he is by far the best.
