What a dud

Paid for a simple change of conditions or release from probation after several years of exempilary behavior. After months and months of inaction on the lawyers part I finally got him to do something. He made my judge and PO mad at me by the things he said about me. Some advocate. I didn't get anythin...g he said he would be able to deliver on because he didn't know the laws going into my case.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked on many cases with Walter for over the years. He is a very hard working and knowledge attorney. He was the former Chief Staff Attorney at the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and this has given him the rare insight into how the courts actually work. .He is one of those rare attorneys that always knows the case law provides that provides the answer for a most situations. I have always known him to be a straight shooter with both his fellow lawyers and his clients. While he may be gruff at times he tells it like it is. I am happy to endorse Walter as an excellent Lawyer"
