Amazing lawyer highly recommend

I was facing some pretty steep charges and I had no where to turn. Mr Waller was the light that guieded me through a dark place. I He and his legal team told me everything that was going to happen and always kept me informed. He was also able to work with me financially. He is a down to earth person ...that will help you with any legal trouble you have. trust me i have someone now i can always call if i have any legal trouble or if I need advice. Don't second guess your freedom call him and you will see.

Great Attorney

I recently hired Mr. Waller for my legal troubles and was extremely satisfied. He has answers for everything and always communicated with me on options. With my busy schedule he was able to push back mandatory court dates that couldn't attend. Very pleased with my end results with the court and was v...ery professional. His staff was also attentive to any requests I had or if I needed to get in touch. I recommend Mr. Waller and will use him again if I need representation in the future! He is the one to go to if you need an attorney and a damn good one at that! Thanks for all your help.

Posted by Lance | October 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Federal Dwi Excellent Attorney Got me off!!!

I called many attorneys and I chose Mr. Waller cause he actually called me back right after I called him at 11:00 pm . His office answered and then told me I would get a call back in 10mins. I was so surprised. Mr. Waller did call me back. I was referred to Mr. Waller by a good friend of mine who had... hired him for a DWI. Talked very highly of Mr. Waller. I met with him and he was very cool to talk to and very knowledgeable , confident and he knew exactly what he was talking about. He took great care of my case got my case Dismissed. I will defiantly refer all my friends and family to him. Thank you so much for everything.

  • 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.
