The Lebron James Of Lawyers

I was charged with a felony last year and I was worried I was going to loose my entire life. Mrs. Walker literally saved my life and calmed me down and told me to trust her. I was looking at best a 2 year deferred sentence and I was getting down on myself. Well After reset after reset Mrs. Walker did the impossible and got a dismissal out of no where. This came such a surprise to me that i screamed out of happiness. There are no words to describe what this lady has done for me. Mrs. Walker has a swag to her that no other lawyer has. She walks around the courthouse like she owns it. She never lets anything get to her and always stays positive. Mrs. Walker I owe everything to you and if theres anyone even thinking of hiring a lawyer DO NOT LOOK BEYOND MRS. WALKER. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

A living legend

I unexpectedly caught a domestic violence charge (the result of a false allegation by an “ex-wife” to obtain leverage in our divorce). My case was complex and a conviction looked inevitable. However, Mekisha’s unique experience as a former Chief Prosector with actual trial experience were critical in her approach to understanding the facts of my case, developing a solid legal defense, and aggressively working to get the case dismissed - which she did! As an innocent man, I now have my life back! I cannot thank Mekisha enough.

EXPERIENCED, AGGRESSIVE, TRUSTWORTHY AND RESPECTED

Being contacted by the police can be an intimidating experience for anyone, but when you have been arrested and charged with a crime, your life can change forever. Potential employers, creditors, and even college admission offices can see a criminal arrest and/or conviction on your background. This is precisely why hiring a defense attorney with the proper trial skills, communication skills and knowledge of the law and criminal justice system is such a critical decision. I will do all possible to keep a final conviction off your record. With your freedom at stake, you need someone who is not afraid to fight for you. Remember, you are not guilty until they prove you are guilty. I am highly respected by my peers and former clients alike.

As a former Assistant District Attorney and Felony Prosecutor for Harris County, I know the ropes and I can lead you through the process, protect your rights, zealously represent your case and obtain truly remarkable results. While working at the District Attorney's office, I handled various crimes on both the misdemeanor and felony level, where I gained valuable trial experience. Having prosecuted cases from arraignment through trial provides a perspective and advantage over other defense attorneys in that I am truly able to see the case from both sides and prepare your defense with their strategies in mind. My defense representation is both strategic and results-oriented. I know what his at stake in criminal cases and I am fully aware how the outcome can impact your future.

I have lived in Houston all my life. I love spending time with family when I am not working. The best job ever is being a mom! My family has a little land north of Garner State park on the Frio River where I practically grew up as a kid. We love to go out to the Frio when we can get away. But my passion is the law. So, please contact me if I can be of assistance.

A phone call

Today I was beside myself and didn’t know where to turn. So I called Mrs . Walker and she talked to me over the phone and answered a lot of questions for me. She took time out her schedule just to talk to me. She would definitely be a lawyer I would hire if the need arose.. thank you again for taking the time to talk to me

Fantastic Lawyer!

I reached out to three lawyers and Mekisha by far made the best impression! I was treated with respect and always given answers when I had questions. Given my difficult circumstances Mekisha rose to every challenge and executed without any hesitation in every court appearance! Forever Grateful!

This lawyer knows her stuff!

We were looking for a lawyer and talked to many before we found Ms. Walker. I'm so glad we did! She eased our minds right away by showing how knowledgeable she was and never leaving us wondering what was going to happen next in the legal process. Her presence in court was formidable. I'm hoping we will never need a lawyer again but if we do, Walker Law will be who we call.

Ms.

We hired Ms. Walker for a felony charge against my fiance. She went above and beyond for us. She stayed in constant communication, was honest and never left us feeling ignored or alone. The end result of her work was beyond amazing. We will never be able to repay her. I hope we don't need her again but if so this will be our first call. I cannot recommend her enough...thank you so much Ms. Walker!

Mission Impossible

My wife and I trusted and hired Ms. Walker to defend our son on his criminal case where all odds were against him. He was accused and indicted of a serious felony he did not commit last year. We all were very worried that this could ruin our son’ whole life. Mrs. Walker literally saved my son' life and calmed us down during the entire process. Ms. Walker worked hard, did the possible and the impossible, and after several months, she managed to demonstrate in court that all so called "evidences" were absolutely false and convinced DA that our son' indiction to trial was mistaken. My wife and I have no words to thank Ms. Walker and describe what this great attorney has done for our family. Ms. Walker walks around the courtroom with such impressive authority that it feels like she owns it. Her deep knowledge of criminal law process and her assertiveness never allow anything to disturb her. She always remains calm and positive. This has put our son's case on the path to dismissal yesterday. There is a Criminal Law Ninja in Houston, TX... her name is Ms. Mekisha Jane Walker. Just give her a “Mission Impossible” and you will see that she is no second to Tom Cruise! Marcos P.

I couldn't be more relieved and happier!

Dismissed!! Mekisha is an absolute godsend! From her care for my case to her persistence with the prosecutor, I couldn't have picked a better lawyer to trust my future to. I’m so glad this is over, and I can move on with my life!

Best Attorney Ever

Mrs walker got my case dismissed after my ex girlfriend lied, made false accusations against me. My charges were enhanced to a felony 2 because of my priors. The day I met w Mrs walker was the day my anxiety went away. She actually cares and is the best at what she does. I truly appreciate you, Thank you Mrs walker

Best service I’ve ever experienced!!!

This attorney helped me in ways I cannot fully explain in just words. I found her information on Google and called for a consultation. She not only gave me the peace of mind I was hoping for, she also went above and beyond by giving me all information I needed to fully understand my situation and make an informed decision. What stood out the most was how she explained the perspectives of all functions pertaining in a court of law. Even those functions that I was not aware of. What they look for, why they look for it, how it affects me, my options, her best suggestion, her experience/knowledge in similar cases and above all her confidence, which I know can only come from a place of hard work and due diligence. Other attorneys I contacted did not perform as-well as her. When the consultation was over I couldnt thank her enough and needed to leave a review for everyone out needing the services she offers. I will recommend her to everyone I know. She’s awesome!

A Successful Dismissal!!!

I highly recommend Mekisha Walker as an attorney! Ms. Walker represented me in a criminal matter that was ultimately dismissed in my favor. Along with being professional Ms. Walker has a thorough understanding of the inner workings of the legal system. Ms. Walker patiently described the process every step of the way. I could not of asked for a better attorney than Ms. Walker. She fought tirelessly to make sure my story was heard. Ms. Walker has exceptional skills in organizing complex information so that it is presented in a logical and understandable manner that is clear to all. She was a fierce advocate for me and I could not have had better legal representation. I can not thank her enough!

Amazing Defense Attorney

Dear Mekisha Jane Walker, First, I wanted to apologize for the extended delay in my desire to respond regarding my wrongful domestic violence case at the end of 2021 into 2022. As you know, was an extremely emotional, sensitive and depressing experience. On a more personal level was overwhelming and painful. There are many adjectives and adverbs that could describe your explosive calm professional protocol that help diminish all my concerns of the outcome. From the moment of our first meeting to discuss my case, I felt reassured and confident with your plan of action. Your experience, compassion and empathy rooted strongly with your professional protocol provided the complete circle of positive reinforcement. Your psychological help genuinely provided some peace in my darkest time. In addition, you kept me informed and up to date prior to my court appearance communicating what documentation you contributed on my behalf. Your practical knowledge with family domestic violence cases and years of interaction with the DA office denoted with “high recognition and respect from your peers” added all the ingredients to a positive outcome. Because of your tenacious work ethic and pertinacious positive attitude contributed to a quick closure with the DA office dropping my case entirely. The professional courtesy conveyed after my case was dismissed provided the closure and added a new beginning with a brighter outlook overcoming difficult life experiences from time to time. I not only had a remarkable defense attorney but a person I could call my friend. Best Regards. R Barber
