Excellent and professional. Best I've seen.

My family retained Mr. Walton to represent us in an elder abuse case. From the onset Mr. Walton was very professional and informative. He kept us very informed of the case throughout the process and handled the case to our full satisfaction in the end. We strongly recommend this attorney and would gl...adly use him in the future if needed.

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.
