Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.

I endorse this lawyer. I've known Walter "Skip" Reaves for years. He is a tireless and brilliant lawyer who never stops fighting for his clients.

Walter Reaves is a very smart guy and he is "client - centered." I'd highly recommend that you pick up a copy of his book, "How To Choose a DWI Lawyer in Texas" before you hire an attorney. Walter "gets it.". He and his team will deliver a high quality experience for you.

Walter "Skip" Reaves really knows the intricacies of the law, and he cares deeply about his clients as human beings. As a leader in the Texas Innocence Project, Skip has been at the forefront in representing wrongfully accused citizens and getting a number of convictions successfully reversed. Skip has the skill, experience, and heart of a great defender. I consider him not only a colleague, but also one of my mentors in the legal profession. I am thankful to have learned some of my craft from Skip Reaves.
