Walter Pierce Hammon

Walter Hammon is the worst lawyer imaginable! He is only interested in how much money he can take from you, not how to best represent you!! Read all the negative reviews! Look for specific examples why many people hate this man so much, not just a feeling of how great he is (which is probably written... by him or someone who is paid for writing reviews on his behalf). He lies, steals, makes up bills, pads his bills, and doesn't even provide necessary info to the court if it conflicts with him stealing more money. I could write an entire book of all the things he did to help his bank account and completely ignore what was best for me. Run away from him as fast as you can!

Walter Hammon's strengths are dictating letters, stalling cases and block billing. When he does focus on a case - he can get resolution - but he understands it's more lucrative to dictate letters and run up the bills without resolution - allowing him to continue billing his multiple clients for many... more months. His secretary / admin / paraleagal / Gatekeeper and agent-of-service is also great at stalling saying "the boss isn't available", "I'll send you a letter later when I get around to typing his dictation", "please send more money". If you hire Mr. Hammon you should be aware of his history of suing his former clients [I have no doubt every one of these suits is legally proper and in accordance with State Bar ethics rules and any other applicable statutes]. A search of Public Court records shows the following suits Mr. Hammon filed AGAINST his clients in Santa Clara County Court to extract additional payment from his former clients - these seem to be clients who were left broke or dissatisfied with his services and unwilling or unable to pay: 17CV312921 Hammon vs Silvia Rutt 17CV312921 Hammon vs Lin Chan 2012-1-CV-234828 Hammon vs S Carson 2011-1-CV-204915 Hammon vs Loretta Wahl 2012-1-AP-001274 Hammon vs Cynthia Johnson 2012-1-CV-223395 Hammon vs J Watson - 2011-1-CV-194496 Hammon vs C Josefson 2011-1-CV-194501 Hammon vs Nino Campanell 2011-1-CV-194505 Hammon vs Nina Vaca 2009-1-CV-147400 Hammon vs Nghia Nguyen 2009-1-CV-147399 Hammon vs Steven Struck 2009-1-CV-147398 Hammon vs Farah Modir 2009-1-CV-147394 Hammon vs Bunker 2007-1-CV-098615 Walter Pierce Hammon, Esq. vs J. Collett - 2007-1-CV-091519 - Hammon vs John Carpenter His former client John Carpenter filed a response and to his suit [ Hammon vs Carpenter 2007-1-CV-091519] - the response is particularly telling and informative. Divorce is painful and complicated. I wish you courage and luck and I hope you find a good attorney to lead you if you must walk down the Divorce path. Walter Hammon is a great litigator but he chooses to dictate letters and send bills. In my experience Walter Hammon’s focus was dictating letters explaining how things won’t be resolved just yet as he thought it best to let things play out for a few more months. I hope you get better results than I did when I hired Walter Hammon. I finally got better results by hiring another attorney.

This man screwed over my mom in divorce court. He pressured my mom into selling our house, so then he could take the money from selling it. To pay him, my mom had to use my college money. He screwed both my mom and I over. Do not go to this guy. He is terrible, and will not help you whatsoever. He wi...ll 100% scam you. Do not hire him.

Walter can't remember anything said to him and doesn't use email at all, so putting something in writing for Walter to remember means writing an archaic letter. Walter's staff loves letters. His secretary will write you back three letters for each one you find time to write. You aren't hiring an atto...rney when you go to this office. You are hiring his staff, so make sure they have coached Walter well before any hearing dates before a judge or just let Walter repeat the same lines he has used for 30 years before. I heard him repeat the exact same words over and over again in my case and they were totally unrelated to what we had previously discussed. Your case is no different to Walter than the hundred or so he has heard before. I don't think Walter would even recognize me if the date and time hadn't been set in advance to meet with him.
