Posted by Lisa | September 18, 2014

She was a lifesaver!

My daughter was charged with felony filing a false police report and Insurance fraud. She was in nursing school at the time, but unfortunately she lied t protect someone close to her. Her case was related to a murder investigation, so my daughter was very afraid of the consequences to her record and... her life. Attorney Walker set out to get her case amended to a misdemeanor so that she could still practice as a nurse. At first, it seemed an impossible feat, but surprisingly enough Attorney Walker turned a no from the States Attorney into a yes! Me and my daughter were so happy that we hired an attorney who was talented, persistent, aggressive and most important to me cared enough about my daughter to be persistent! My daughter has now finished school and as she prepares for her boards, I am so happy that Attorney Walker was able to avoid a felony conviction for her and that she is now able to be in the profession that she chose and went to school for!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have been fortunate enough to work with Tamara on a few criminal defense cases. She is a genius and has perhaps one of the most powerful courtroom presence I have ever come across. This is great if you are on her side and not on the receiving end. No wonder the famed Johnnie Cochran's firm hired her at a young age. I endorse this lawyer."

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.
