Highly recommend

Walt is straightforward, honest and goes the extra mile to help his clients. He was able to recommend a specialized probation program for my felony DWI that I recently completed and it was truly a lifesaver.

Court Appointed

I met Walt in 2009 after I was arrested on a drug charge, while on probation, and Walt was my court appointed attorney. I have had a few other court appointed attorneys and two I actually paid for, but I would not recommend ANY of them. My charges were in Tarrant County, but my probation was in Pa...rker County. Getting a new charge is obviously a probation violation. Walt offered to represent me in my probation revocation even though he was only appointed to represent me on my new charges. Walt Cleveland is a knowledgeable, caring attorney. He gave me solid advice without being condescending. My life has turned in a whole new direction since then and I don't plan on ever needing a criminal attorney again, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Walt Cleveland.

Absolutely one of the best to trust with your life.

I was faced with felony charges several years ago. I met with Walt and explained my situation and set me at ease. He listened and quickly was able to give me the confidence he could handle the situation I found myself facing. Final result was the charges were dropped in the interest of justice. He... also handle some incidental related legal issues. Always available and returned calls.

Truly Amazed

As our case progressed he was helpful and patient to explain and guide us every step of the way. It was almost as if we were the only client he had, yet I know he is very busy and would sometimes have several cases going in different courtrooms simultaneously. My son had him at first as court appoint...ed, then we later hired him on another case. On the first case I was very skeptical because of the way court appointed attorneys are conveyed in the media. I called eight different attorneys. Five of them knew him. Four of those highly recommended him and one of those went into great detail with me about how much he respected him, convincing me I didn't need to hire another(i.e. him). That was very impressive, but not as impressive as the results he got before one of the known toughest judges in THE known toughest county in the toughest state against certain crimes. I am very thankful we met Walt and Linda and would encourage anyone in a criminally defensive situation to consider his firm. Walt, you changed my mind about defense attorneys for the rest of my life. I appreciate all you did for my son.

My Hero

Walt and Linda are very compassionate and truly care about their clients. I was accused of something I didn’t do and Walt guided me on what I needed to do and he got my case dismissed. I would definitely recommend him. Best attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
