Mr. Walker handled a breach of contract by my medical insurance provider. He is actually a dive attorney; i.e., he represents plaintiffs who have been injured while scuba diving on the job. I think he can get a grip on and handle any case in the civil arena with speed and brilliance. My little case w...
"I've worked with Joseph previously and have found him to be nothing less than a remarkable attorney. Having had worked offshore and as a diver for a considerable amount of time, he is a formidable opponent and a trusted colleague who is both savvy and strategic in his use of the law to the advantage of his clients. Needless to say, he is highly recommended and I enthusiastically endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Joe and I worked together on a trucking case in which I acted as his local counsel. Throughout our work I found Joe to consistently be professional, knowledgeable, pleasant to work with, and very fair with the clients, with a good bedside manner. I would heartily recommend Joe for any personal injury work."
"I have worked closely with Joe on several complex litigation matters, including diving personal injury cases and other maritime personal injury matters. Joe always gives 100% of his knowledge, skill and devotion to his clients. His knowledge of the law and zealous client representation is matched by the degree of professionalism and collegiality he displays to opposing counsel and to those who work in the Court system. These qualities place Joe in high esteem of practitioners on both sides of the aisle, which allows him to get timely, beneficial results for his clients. Joe is not afraid to stand up for what is best for his clients, and I admire the energy and preparation he puts into developing a case for litigation. I would strongly recommend Joe's services to anyone in need of a highly skilled, highly motivated litigator."
"I have worked with Joe on many matters over many years, including Jones Act cases involving divers, trade secret litigation, and products liability actions. He works tirelessly for his clients and is an extremely aggressive and effective advocate on their behalf. As a former commercial diver, he has invaluable insights into admiralty/Jones Act cases involving vessels."
