HIRE SAM YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!

My divorce was among the most complicated and hostile cases imaginable. My case involved a nightmarish custody battle, misappropriated/transferred/hidden assets, my husband's fraudulent business, concealed income, and even Marvin law. Sam knew exactly how to proceed with discovery against a 100% un...cooperative (and fiendishly clever) adversary. He sifted through vast quantities of records and information and was able to synthesize that chaos into a clear picture that actually told my story. He developed a legal strategy to reveal the truth. It was a pleasant surprise for me to learn that that a good attorney can also be a good person. Sam is intelligent, assertive, highly capable, and yet caring as well. In short, I could not recommend him more highly.

Excellent Service-Prompt and Professional

I was panicked. A conference was scheduled regarding child custody of my granddaughter in 2 days. My adult daughter was totally unprepared and actually had no idea what the conference was for. I contacted Samuel Walker and he provided valuable information on the steps we needed to take. He was availa...ble and answered my call on the first attempt. He was even willing to make himself available to attend the conference in 2 days and represent my daughter if I should want to retain his services. WOW. Mr. Walker was very attentive, listened to my situation and gave me information on what to do next. He even answered multiple questions regarding court and filing procedures, and informed me of what we needed to be aware of during the child custody case. Later the same day I sent an email to Mr. Walker asking another question regarding the upcoming conference. He promptly returned my email, answered my question and provided the details regarding his fees if I should retain him to represent my daughter for the entire child custody case. I want everyone to know Mr. Walker did this at NO CHARGE to me. He advertised a free consultation and provided a free phone consultation and more.

Exceptional Attorney

I contacted Sam regarding my family law matter. My ex husband was trying to take primary custody of my daughter. He addressed the problem and got the proper, fair result. I am truly grateful that I found him and recommend him to anyone needing a family law lawyer.

Posted by Jane | August 19, 2013 | Child Custody

Trustworthy and Responsible!

Mr. Walker handled my case with the utmost of care and walked me through the process of gaining custody of my daughters. He made sure that I knew what was happening as soon as he heard from the judge or the other attorney. I trust Mr. Walker to handle any family law matter that presents itself. I ...would definitely hire him again and I tell my friends that need an attorney to contact Mr. Walker if they want to hire a trustworthy and capable attorney that cares about customer service.

Mr. Sam Walker - EXCELLENT Attorney and Highly Reccommended

Mr. Walker is an exceptional lawyer who listened, worked with my situation and had my best interest in mind to work out a fair deal for my divorce - my ex's attorney was out for blood, Mr. Walker told him that we weren't going to be intimidated or steamrolled, the best outcome was for the children........the other lawyer conceded (and my ex) and now my ex and I have a "amicable" relationship so we can both have a relationship with our 2 children. I spoke to about 5 different attorneys before hiring Mr. Walker and he was the most honest and genuine of them all. I so happy I made the right choice!
