Walt Johnson

Basis for opinion: I have paid about 20 attorneys in three states for advice or representation. Result: If you can find an honest, effective one, hold on to her or him for dear life. Verifiable: My name is Mark Chilson. I personally warrant the veracity of this R...eview and am happy to answer concise questions about Walter through the Avvo messaging or email. Consulted for: Estate planning mostly; some general litigation; some regulatory compliance. How referred: From friend with whom I was doing a volunteer project, I heard of this supposedly excellent attorney named Walter. About three personal references for him arose among my social circle before I retained him. Priority #1: In Overall Integrity: Honest in Billing: Often bills less than he quoted me. I'm looking for 'price/performance.' This ought to be question #1: "What written guarantee will you give me that you will stick to the quote you give me?** In Performance: Efficacious, Effective, Conscientious; Follows through on representations Example: Prepared an excellent tax-saving estate plan for me. Went above & beyond checking for potential liabilities and almost nullifying the chances of an unintended probate. Example: Constructing as-you-go and end-game strategies that save on taxes. Great value-added in helping me take advantage of little-known benefits his knowledge of the tax code afforded me. Personality: I checked out his Bar credentials because I did not believe he was a practicing attorney. He was too nice and had no noticeable egoism. This is not an ad: Feel free to contact me via Avvo and I am happy to address any specific questions within the bounds of my knowledge. I received no reduction in fees for review. Walter did not ask me to review, I chose to review unilaterally.
