Not this attorney

I was Walter Hammon's client for way too long and still owe him money that I won't/can't pay. Walter's office would write me 4 to 5 letters a day, none of which I wanted written, and none of which Walter was aware of, and none of which came from him. All of the 500 plus letters I received from Walt...er Hammon's office were from Nicole, his secretary who loves to write in length and bill for what she writes. This attorney is not available to you, The Client, but you will see him in court constantly and he is hard to miss because of the numerous high school rings on his fingers, his huge red beard, and he is also very tall and very thin. This attorney should be avoided if you have children and want them to grow up healthy and happy, loved and cared for by their parents throughout difficult times brought about by divorce. Jack

Do not use this attorney

Mr. Hammon is in court constantly and appears to have it all together. In reality, his staff is well trained to cover for his frequent absences and as his client, you never actually see his face because he keeps it well hidden by that huge red beard and mustache. When I was unable to pay him timely..., he retaliated by using my children's custody and visitation as ransom against me. He is all about the money and only about the money. If you pay him enough, he may satisfy but my teenagers are almost grown now and the cost of his continually created conflict in my divorce in order to generate revenue was not worth it and should not be worth it for anyone. My children now live with me 100% of the time by my own doing after firing Walter Hammon and are excelling in all aspects away from the conflict of the divorce created by Walter Hammon.

will not dissapoint!

Walter is one of the best family law attorney you will ever meet! I am a single father in California which is very uncommon. If it weren't for him my lovely daughter wouldn't be the happy and safe child she is today.

Excellent attorney

Handled a very complicated child custody matter extremely well. Very professional and well respected by his peers and judges alike. Calm demeanor. Only frustration is that it is sometimes hard to reach him. His office staff does a very good job of "protecting" him. Sometimes this can be very frustrat...ing when you really want to talk to him and can't get to him. High integrity, fair minded, EXCELLENT attorney when it counts.
