Excellent lawyer

Mr. Walter helped me with a criminal case. He was my second lawyer. My first lawyer said plead guilty. Mr. Walter discovered a mistake in the investigation that led to reduced charges. I have no doubt that Mr. Walter saved me from a long prison sentence. I highly recommend him to anyone.

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.
