Recommending Walsh Law Firm

Steve Walsh and his son, Kyle, represented me in a DWI jury trial this past Friday. The jury came back after 17 minutes of deliberation with a Not Guilty verdict. I would like to say thanks to the Walsh Law Firm for supporting me and helping me out through all of this trouble that I was in. I woul...d recommend this firm to anyone who needs assistance with any legal matters. The Walsh legal assistants are awesome.

Recommending Walsh Law Firm

After being involved in a serious car crash, where the driver od 2nd vehicle ran a red light and hit the driver side of car. My sister and I were seatbelted, airbags deployed. My injuries included a fractured C7, Fx T1 and T2 as well as 2 fractures in left leg. EMS took me to hospital and admitted. M...r. Walsh, Dianne and his entire office staff very kind and helpful. Would def. recommend Steve Walsh Attorney services.

Most Grateful

I came to a crossroad where I found out about a bench warrant I had in 2009 just as I was trying to enter into the military. I contacted this law firm hoping to somehow get rid of it. I now reside in KY and I was worried about having to travel to MO to do jail time and I was so afraid at how this was... all going to affect my future. The person I stayed in contact with throughout the process was so nice and quickly took care of all my needs. Before I knew it, my case was handled so quickly, it was mind blowing. If you have to go through the same thing I did and have any worries at all, then this is the law firm to go with. They will help you through everything. If I ever have another problem I will definitely contact Walsh Law Firm to handle it.

Best at his job

Most respectful well put together lawyer. Always prepared and his presence in the court room is on point. He is straight forward and will let you know up front what you will be faced with. Hired him for my case and he got it dismissed. Call D felony. Would recommend time and time again if your in the... bluff area and need attorney this is who you should talk to first.

Personal Injury

Mr. Walsh and his office was helpful, patient, and friendly during the entire process of my case. It took nearly 4 years to complete the case, and I was well-informed through all of it. Mr. Walsh was knowledgeable and had a network of colleagues with whom to confer in order to do the best he could wh...en advising me. I appreciated the candor and compassion that he expressed every time we met. I would definitely use him again if the need arose.

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.
