Anthony "Tony" Walker is an attorney that I would recommend to anyone who is undergoing the harrowing experience of a divorce and who has no choice but to protect themselves. I never thought that I would ever hire a lawyer for anything, but an unexpected announcement of divorce from my wife and su...bsequent irrational, hostile and threatening behavior from her towards me required that I defend myself. It was, to say the least, a traumatic and disorienting experience to learn that my wife, the person that I had been devoted to and expected to live the rest of my life with, was walking out on me (and discovering a trail of deceit, infidelity and "funny business" with money). It goes without saying that it was a horror for my three children as well. When it became apparent to me that I had no choice but to hire an attorney, my greatest fear was that, on top of all that painful confusion, I would also be bled dry by an unscrupulous attorney and perhaps not even be well represented in the process. I was a completely broken person and in a daze at a divorce support group at my church when another person going through a similar experience slid Tony's card across the table. I cannot express how deeply grateful I am that that happened. Tony has been so fair (and I would even say merciful) with his billing and has navigated me safely through this horrible process. His many years of experience anticipated every twist and turn, and he always knew how to act prudently to protect my rights while minimizing, to the extent possible, contention with my wife that would only have hurt my children more than they already were by the wrecking ball that this has been on their family.
Another important point should be made. During my ordeal, Tony underwent an ordeal of his own and, yet, he still continued to manage my case and protect my rights. Some months into my divorce, Tony suffered total kidney failure. The fact that he continued to handle my case so skillfully and competently and managed to bring it to a relatively rapid conclusion, I consider to be nothing short of heroic.
Finally, Tony's faith and his own experience as a father give him the compassion and the personal insight that there are real people, mainly the children, who stand to be hurt should the results of the divorce process go awry or result in a miscarriage of justice.
I hope that I never have to hire a lawyer again, but if I do, I will be reaching for Tony's card again.
