James R Walker

I am honored to give a review of our experience with Mr. James Walker. For the past two years Mr. Walker has represented our family in finalizing our parent's estates. My dad passed away 2 years ago, and my Mother is currently in Hospice. My brother Van and I are the Trustee's, and under the wise ...direction of Jim are managing and maximizing the process to the best of our ability. Jim has given us professional and solid advice all along the way. He is extremely smart, and accessible, and has taken on our family in a way I never expected. He is truly a very caring lawyer and our family is beyond grateful.

Avvo Rating

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.
