Very thorough, intelligent and committed

I have consulted Matt Numerous times over the past few years, and his knowledge of confusing legal terms and procedures have always been explained to me in easy to understand and concise verbiage. At an emotional time such as divorce or custody proceedings, I appreciated this. His experience was evid...ent when he replied to each of my question quickly, often using exact words from RCW's and offering examples. At several points I had questions, to which he and Shannone tirelessly and quickly answered via telephone and email. The service they provided was impeccable and over the top, which is priceless when dealing with such a precious issue as custody. In court, Matt further impressed me with his his ability to list detailed facts arguing my case with such conviction I felt proud to have him represent me. He had clearly prepared well prior to court and this was conveyed in his confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Walker and his office!

Reasonable and Respectful

Mr. Walker handled my divorce case with the upmost level of professionalism and diligence. My inquiries were always met with prompt and helpful explanations. Overall, I am very satisfied with the services my attorney has provided and would recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance. His rates w...ere very reasonable as I didn't feel as though my money was being misused or spent meaninglessly on simple tasks. Thank you so much for all your help!

Honest, caring, and hears your concerns!

In 2006 my world came crashing down - he was referred to my by his office partner. They provided me excellent counsel in understanding how to move forward from the events that brought me to divorce. He heard my concerns, represented my interests fairly, and through a difficult mediation in tears ea...sed my fears. He helped me understand that life would be okay and it has taken me a few years to grasp that concept. At the end of the day it wasn't about property, hidden investments or money, it was the greatest gift - my child. Mr. Walker (Matt) I am in school full time FSU Panama City, my daughter graduates from high school this year and is thriving. As you told me during our final visit at the end of it all that is what truly matters. Thank you! Stacy R

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Matthew Walker to represent me during my divorce. From the very beginning I was impressed with his responsiveness, knowledge, and commitment to fight hard for a successful outcome. I had many questions and concerns throughout a very difficult process. My questions were answered promptly an...d Matthew had a way of taking the burden off my back. I was confident throughout my divorce that I hired an excellent lawyer. He helped me get everything resolved without the cost and stress of a trial. I will hire Matthew again if I ever need legal represenation, and will recommend him to friends and family.
