Great Attorney

Steven is an awesome attorney. I hired Steve to handle my divorce and custody battle. He took time to sit with me and explain every step. I was amazed how many details of my case he was able to remember between court dates. He is very knowledgeable about what evidence the judge wants to see. He ...caught my ex in many lies and called her out on it. I got awarded everything I asked for. I would definitely recommend Steve to anyone needing an attorney. Thank you Steve.

Absolutely the best Lawyer

My child was ran over by a postal worker and then taken away from me by CPS because they said he wasn’t supervised which was untrue! I went to several lawyers who said they couldn’t help me but when I found Mr. Steve Walden he took my case immediately and was so compassionate and understanding. Not o...nly did he take the case he got my kids returned to me within a week and then won my case completely!! Every time I called or emailed him he swiftly returned my calls and emails and his paralegal was also amazing and prompt as well. He actually cares about his clients and defended me and my kids they did not let people bully us he protected us and won everything!! This man is hands down the best Lawyer I’ve ever seen. The amount of care, understanding, patience, and hard work he gave to me made me calm and had 100% faith that he absolutely knew what he is doing and he has over 20 years of experience. I can not express my gratitude in words I’m so grateful that God led me to Mr. Walden and the Carlson Law firm it was the BEST decision I’ve ever made! Thank you Mr. Walden from the bottom of my heart and my family thanks you. Your a true blessing for anyone to have on their side.

Child custody case

Mr. Walden helped me with my children's custody case. He reviewed my paperwork and is still helping me do so. I would recommend him to any one, when I email him or need to see him he is always right there for me and my questions. He has made this case for me easy to understand, and he is very knowled...gable.

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.
