Wouldn’t recommend

I hired Ms. Walker to help with a Child support case. She promised so much and did so little all while charging me a ridiculous amount of money. Things that could’ve been handled outside of court she agreed to go to court just to charge me more money. She was my lawyer for well over a year, advised s...he would request my attorney fees nothing, the non custodial parent owed more than 20k.. She didn’t help put a judgement on him or anything. Instead I’m the one who got a judgement. By far my biggest mistake hiring her.

Professional, Efficient and Outstanding. Ms. Walker is phenomenal and empathetic. Absolutely the best lawyer in the field her guidance and communication was outstanding at all times. She was timely, prompt, open for calls, and quick updates throughout my experience.

Intern

I interned for Tanya and it was an amazing experience. I learned so much in the short amount of time that I was with her and I have been able to use it in my classes. She is straight forward and stays on top of her cases. She has an amazing staff as well who knows how to get things done. I would reco...mmend her 100%!

SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING!

5 days after my then wife and I had our baby girl, my wife decided she did not want to be a family any more and left the state with our baby girl. I had no way of seeing my child nor did I know where they were located! I needed the best lawyer in the world and through a mutual family member I was tol...d about Tanya! Tanya has an aggressive attitude and was truthful throughout the entire process. Because of her professionalism and aggressiveness I am now the primary parent of my baby girl. She not only won what I came to her to initially receive (more time) but I am now the primary parent and I'm able to have a loving, caring and meaning relationship with my daughter! We ended up having to go to trial due to my spouse wishes to move out of the state, but every dime spent was well worth it in the long run. I went into the process believing that as a dad the courts would not find favor with me for a one year old baby girl, but right is right and wrong is wrong and Tanya being the super attorney she is ensured the judge and jury stayed focused on the facts!

More than just a good Attorney a good friend to have

Mrs.Walker is an awesome attorney,she's very passionate about helping others. I was having visitation problems the mother of my son was not allowing me to do my visitation. The police were no help so I met with Tanya and she Advised me to enforce my rights as a father she gathered all my paperwork an...d went to work immediately it was a trying experience not knowing what to expect she was there for me the whole time as a lawyer and as a friend she won we extended time with my son throughout the school year and summer time. I was lucky to have had her in my corner and I highly recommend that you hire her if you need a good attorney...
