Got my charges dismissed

I was being charged with two counts of assault family violence and Mr. Waller got them dismissed. His staff was available 24 hours to help when I needed anything. Best decision I made was hiring Mr. Waller.

Hands down the best attorney in Corpus

Chris has been representing me for 3 years now on a number of MTRs and most importantly kept me out of jail for three years! He got my 2nd MTR within a year, completely dismissed . I would recommend him over anyone! His entire staff is great and helpful too!

Drug Charges DISMISSED!

I had three counts of possession of controlled substance. I was facing 25 years in state jail and Mr. Waller got my charges dismissed. I can not thank you enough Mr. Waller.

God Sent Us an Angel

Recently, I was looking for an attorney to draw up a will for my elderly parents. Having been burned by two attorneys on my previous searches, left me a little gun shy. I came across Harold Wallers' reviews on AVVO and began to read them. As I read them, I became hopeful, so I called his office and... left a message. I was pleased when, within the hour, I received a call from his secretary. She told me he would be contacting me later that night. As promised, Mr. Waller called me that evening and we spoke on the phone for 30 minutes where he assured me he would work with my parents and not only draw up a will for each of them, but a power of attorney for each, a medical power of attorney for each, and guardianship documents for both, plus a once called "Lady Bird" will. Wow!! And he did it all for us in one day. I was flying in from Dallas to take care of some matters for my parents and time was of the essence. Thank God, Mr. Waller was able and willing to get it all done for us on such a short notice. He even stayed with us past his office hours on a Friday evening to complete all the necessary documents. Mr. Waller was very patient with my elderly parents. He took time to explain everything he was going to do for them and why these documents were necessary. He was very thorough and reviewed each document with both of my parents. His kindness and concern for my parents really resonated with me. He and his courteous staff made my parents feel special and comfortable. When we left his office, my parents couldn't stop talking about his kindness and his knowledge of the law. After being burned by two previous attorneys, Mr. Harold "Chris" Waller, was a blessing and an answer to a prayer. Thank you, Mr. Waller, for all that you did for us. We were so blessed to have found you. We pray that God continue to bless you and your practice with many more years of happiness and success.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
