Posted by B. Lee | November 29, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Savvy, determined, patient. Experienced beyond his years. Always available. Highly responsive, I highly recommend him!

Sam went toe to toe with a 35 year veteran divorce attorney in my recent dissolution proceedings and won each seemingly impossible battle. He knows how to conduct himself when the other party is being unscrupulous and false. He is well researched, quick to respond, and always available. He will be... very frank with you. These are highly stressful times and he maintains his cool, even when you might not. He was able to use several different technology platforms to share documents, such as Google drive making interactions effective and efficient. He was always patient and was always considering the legal implications of any tactic employed, to avoid sanctions and to maintain the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Sam!

Caring and Easy to Work With!

Mr. Walker walked us through the easiest Family Law issue I've ever faced. I anticipated much difficulty, but Sam and his expertise whisked us through a hearing with our desired results. I would highly recommend him. He is very easy to work with, and really cares about your issues.

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.

Outstanding Service and Professionalism, Very Knowledgeable and Concerned for your Rights.

I posted a question seeking help regarding my divorce case just under a month ago and out of all the attorneys that responded Sam was the only attorney that offered to contact me personally. Much to my surprise he did and was very concerned about my case and my rights. When I notified him that not on...ly did I have a divorce case but that I also had a child support case and hearing he told me not to worry as he would deal with that case as well. He asked to review my case via email and then met with me a couple of days later. When we met he had already prepared for the next step in dealing with my case. He explained what direction I needed things to go in and gave me a thorough understanding of what to expect regarding my case. I immediately retained his services and met with him again a few days before my child support hearing to sign more papers that he would need to file for me. My child support hearing took place a few days later and Sam was at the courthouse ahead of time to review the case beforehand and go over everything with me in detail and assure me that everything would be fine. It is needless to say but after having to pay $600 a month in support for the past two years he was able to get my support reduced to $0! I will continue to retain Sam's services and representation throughout the remainder of my divorce case as his expertise and willingness to ensure that my rights are defended is invaluable. Thanks Sam for taking the time and personal dedication towards my case that I so desperately needed. You are Outstanding!

Sam Walker is an EXCELLENT Attorney!!!!

Sam Walker is an excellent attorney and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. I had gotten a DUI back in 2011 and was placed on probation for 5 years. I am currently in a doctoral program and am unable to get my intern number through the State because I am on active probation. Therefor...e, I am unable to work and make a living. I do not have any other convictions or traffic violations, except this one, on my record. Sam Walker was able to get my probation lifted even though I haven't fulfilled half of my probation term, as well as getting it expunged from my record. He was timely in his e-mail responses, caring, compassionate, very trustworthy, and was able to reassure me with any questions or concerns that I may have had. He made me feel completely comfortable and confident at my hearing. He is very professional and sincere in his work and has a dedication and true concern for his clients and their well-being. I am so thankful and beyond grateful that I had Sam Walker as my attorney. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and to all for any legal services that you may have. You definitely won't be regretful! He is a true and honest attorney! Thank you so much Mr. Walker!!!!! I cannot tell you enough how happy and thankful I am for all your hard work! If it weren't for you I wouldn't be able to work in the career that I have pursued for so long! Thank you so much for making my future possible!!!!! You are truly a blessing!!!
