I've used Carlie 3 times now. I would and have recommended her to others

Carlie is great as an attorney. I have used her 3 times in the past 7 years, and she has been great to work with every time. She's aggressive in the courtroom and knowledgeable on her cases as well as the current laws. She has always been familiar with the judges we've had involvement with and kno...ws what needs to be done in the courtroom. I would use her again and again.

Assistance in regards to pension issue

Although I did not discuss with Ms Walker, I had a free discussion with her young assistant. He was a very considerate and thoughtful in directing me in the right direction to resolve my legal issue. All for free.

Excellent legal representation of divorce case

Carlie is a very friendly lady who was EXPERT in handling my divorce case. I have no minor children, so it was a case of dividing assets, medical bills, retirement, spousal support, back taxes. Because I have been on a very fixed income, she was able to secure funds from my ex to cover my legal expen...ses and because he dropped me from health insurance coverage, the judge ordered him to pay half of any medical expenses I endured. She was steadfast in making sure I was represented well at trial. We were able to negotiate outside of court and everything went smoothly before the judge. At this writing, my ex has not paid as agreed and will be in contempt as of tomorrow, 9/5 and Carlie has told me that she will act and file contempt of court and he can face the judge and possibly end up in jail if he doesn't pay and meet his obligations. I would say that if you need family legal representation, someone who will really go to bat for you, someone who has a level head, someone who doesn't take no for an answer, someone who is educated and quick on her feet, then Carlie Owsley Walker is the gal for you. She has a friendly group of staff members who are also educated and can quickly answer questions and they are also very supportive. I came into the office one day so frazzled and two of the gals came to my side and encouraged me and said everything was going to work out and be okay. How many legal firms do you know who have people like that? The above question asks...Would you recommend this attorney? How can a simple Yes toggle be sufficient where Carlie is concerned? It's not, so I have taken the time to personally write this review in hopes that you will see that the stigma of lawyers being crooked and just out for money is not always true. Carlie took my case with 800 bucks down because that's all I had. She and her office staff work out payment arrangements and to keep costs to a minimum oftentimes the staff can answer questions and it not be charged out of the retainer. Now that you've read this review, you know you don't have to read through scores of other reviews about other attorneys. If you're in a jam and need help now, do yourself a favor and give Carlie's office a call. You WILL NOT be sorry! I wish any of you who are going through the frustrations of legal family matters all the best!

Very Trustworthy and Highly recommended

When being served my papers and not knowing what to do or how to feel. As soon as I entered the office to when I left. Carly and her staff made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable as to what will happen. They made me feel very confident and that's a great feeling with dealing with the stress of d...ivorce with children.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Suspension and Probation issued in AZ, 2020

updated on 12/12/2023

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Reprimand issued in AZ, 2018

updated on 12/12/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Admonition and Probation issued in AZ, 2016

updated on 12/12/2023

An admonishment means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. While on probation, the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
