Great lawyer - Look no further!

I had a very complex and difficult case. Walter was able to handle everything very professionally and build not only a solid offense, but a very strong defense. He walked me through the entire process, always keeping me informed, put my mind at ease, and was able to handle everything thrown at him.... I can't say enough great things about Walter, he was truly an advocate for me and my children. Exhibiting compassion, understanding, and tremendous knowledge of the law. This man really knows his stuff & will fight for you! Not only did I win, but I won huge! If you are looking for a reputable, family oriented, and skilled lawyer look no further - Walter is your man. You will not be disappointed.

Phone consult, meeting tomorrow

He called me after I had put in a request with some details about my case. He asked me what I wanted as my goal after I had explained everything over the phone, which took quite some time. Not once was he rude or try to rush me. He told me what the best thing to do would, that I hadn't even thought a...bout (and I've been obssessively reading in the family law books, legal practice procedures for a now). I'm meeting with him for the first time tomorrow. But I already know he's the attorney for my babies and me. After speaking with several different attorneys, the only one I feel confident enough to have high hopes of winning my case, is with him. I can't wait for this upcoming process to start. I'll review again when it's all over. But I don't believe there could be a better attorney for us!!!

Currently working on my case

I contacted Walter on a weekend and he was all ears, and I don't think most lawyers make themselves available on the weekend. Walter has currently taken on my case involving a custody dispute and child support battle. After I informed him of my situation, he was very empathetic to what I am going thr...ough, but also very insightful into the laws regarding child custody and child support. I like that he is eager to help. I have a very challenging case where I moved out of state and he is helping me gather my facts and evidence so I can stay in my safe environment with my family. We haven't had the hearing yet, but I will be back to leave another review regarding the outcome of this case. I have all the trust in the world that Walter will help me win my case.

The beast!

I hired Walter on short notice. Like 4 weeks short notice! Very bland, his words were short but useful. The day of my trial.... So scared and nervous. Knee's trembling every step I took to the court room. I had not yet Mr. Walter... Ugh... My stomach is turning.. I walk into the full court room a...nd look to my right! Mr. Walter is sitting there waving at me with a full smile and full of all this positive energy that clearly filled the entire court room. I can go on and on about Walter! He won my case! & He's dear to my heart. Thank you Mr. Walter for fighting for what is the truth and the right way. Love, Monica, Madison & Magdalen Mommy & her girls will never forget you. God bless you

  • 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.
