Honorable

Steve represented me in-reference to my military case. I didn't know where to turn. Then, one day I was determined to find an attorney who would fight for my rights after 36 years of service to this nation. Steve went to work on this once he gathered all the facts. He's truly cares about his client...s, and he is an amazing person. I was always well informed. His team did a wonderful job on my case. At the end of the day, I know who's got my back. In the end, Victory! Thanks Steve.

Fort Hood / criminal matter

I obtained Steve Walden as my Attorney when I hired him through Carlson Law Firm . He was amazing as well as his legal assistant Laura Coates . They were always available and helped me every step of the way ! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to represent me as I received the best representation for... my criminal matter on Fort Hood . Thank you guys for everything you did for me , always being there , communicating with me constantly & making me feel comfortable every step of the way !! I will be sure to refer your services for any legal matter I know Carlson Law firm may cover . V/R Michelle S.

Wonderful Attorney

Mr. Walden is a great attorney. He took care of my case in a timely manner. He was very organized and made sure that I was aware of everything that was going on every step of the way. I recommend anyone that is in the need of a family law attorney or just an attorney to contact Mr. Walden. He is very... professional and amazing at what he does.

Wonderful experience!

Steve took care of all of my issues in a timely manner. He kept me in the loop to everything going on and told me everything honestly. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case, all thanks to him.

You get what you pay for.

I first had spoken with Steve in the fall of 2013. I was in dire need of a knowledgable lawyer for a incident i was involved in. I had been arrested and I was released on a 100 thousand dollar bond. My charge was originally a second degree felony in Bell County. After two very long stressful years my... criminal trial was finally over. Steve not only had my charge dropped to a third degree but he was also able to get me deferred adjudicated probation. Mr. Walden is a highly credible individual and he is a very diversified lawyer. He knew everything from child custody, CPS, divorce to of course my criminal part. Mr. Walden not once left me misinformed and he never made me appear in court unless needed. He responded to all my frantic calls and emails in a timely manner. However, none of these are the reasons why I'm writing this review. I am writing this review because Steve's actions after all was said and done. This man took my debt and he split it in half; saving me thousand of dollars. Yes, even tho he had worked countless hours during my trials were he had fraught vigorously for me. Mr. Walden doesn't practice law for the money but law simply is he's passion.

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.
