Great Law Firm and Very Responsive

I was very happy with the terms of my settlement. Walner Law firm was very professional and paid all my medical bills until I got my money. They even lent me money me money to survive during my physical therapy. Jon is always reachable on the phone as well. Thanks so much!

This law firm went beyond my expectations.

I was injured at work and found Walner Law Firm on Google. I called and after 2 rings someone picked up and within 2 hours I was in the office speaking to Jon the attorney. He was very knowledgeable and he told me that they would take the case and take care of all my needs. This law firm was very res...ponsive to my needs and very empathetic about my injury.

WORST DISABILITY LAWYER EVER

CHOOSING WALNER LAW (JONATHAN ESTES WALNER) WAS THE WORST DECISION IVE EVER MADE, THEY WOULD NEVER REACH OUT TO ME TO UPDATE ME ON ANYTHING AND WHEN ID REACH OUT TO HIM HED NEVER ANSWER HIS PHONE AND ID LEAVE A VOICEMAIL AND COULDNT EVEN GET A CALL BACK TILL I LEFT AT LEAST 3 OR 4 VOICEMAILS OVER A 2... OR 3 WEEK PERIOD. IVE NEVER EVEN MET HIM IN PERSON AND HE NEVER GOT THE IMPORTANT PROOF THAT WAS NEEDED TO WIN MY CASE, HE NEVER EVEN SPOKE UP TO THE JUDGE ABOUT MY CONDITION TO THE JUDGE ON OUR APPEALS APPOINTMENT OVER THE PHONE. AND OFCOURSE BECAUSE OF HIS INCOMPETENCE THE JUDGE DENIED ME DISABILITY, SO I FOUGHT FOR 2 YRS FOR NOTHING AND HERE I CAN BARELY EVEN GET OUT OF THE BED TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF ON A DAILY BASIS, I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LAWYER FOR ANYTHING OR ANY TYPE OF CASE. HES HORRIBLE AT HIS JOB. AND I WANT HIM TO KNOW WHO I AM SO IM PUTTING MY NAME. STACY SELBY.

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.
