Posted by Sierra | March 02, 2012 | Domestic Violence

Mr Walchenbach IS respectful AND knows his stuff!

I met Mr Walchenbach approximately ten years ago. He was working on his "off time", volunteering for a Women And Children's Shelter. He was my attorney during this horrific time, dealing with Domestic Violence and Parenting issues. Mr Walchenbach was also my attorney during latest (second) divorc...e, which ended this year. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mr Walchenbach. He is always professional, kind, to the point, timely with returning calls and the overdose of paperwork (the court system seem to love). Mr Walchenbach worked well into the night and on weekends- making sure all paperwork was submited on time and with all information needed to get my divorce(s) FINALIZED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. WALCHENBACH!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. He is very compassionate and caring, however, is aggressive when necessary. He often looks at both sides of the case and comes up with effective and persuasive arguments. He has taken positions that might not otherwise be supported by case law and has won!!!"

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.
