Steve Walden from The Carlson Law Firm

Mr. Walden represented me for a criminal matter that started Nov of 2013 and ended March of 2014. This was my first time ever dealing with a matter such as the one I had, not to mention I was scared out of my mind. I felt safe with Mr. Malden and I felt like I could trust him . He is professional ,... honest and he truly cares . He FOUGHT for me , I was cleared of everything . I will highly recommend Mr. Walden, he is a Godsend :)

Expensive, confusing ledger fees

Mr walden seems very personal and trustworthy however after you paid the retaining fee is almost impossible to get to him. Everything is handled by his paralegals who charge the client for every single item they can. You can not email, or talk to them without being charged. The billing method is ...very confusing to say the least . We felt that we were taking overcharged but again we couldn't talk to Mr Walden to get an answer of what we were being charged. If you want to pay thousand of dollars on attorneys fees then he is the attorney to go to.

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.
