I have been practicing criminal defense in Washington and Oregon for the past 15 years. I have handled hundreds of cases ranging from simple assault to sex offenses and homicide. I also appear in all state, local and federal courts (Oregon District and Western Washington District). My approach involves a thorough investigation of each case, aggressive representation and meticulous trial preparation.

BEST CRIMINAL LAWYER

This was our 1st time looking for criminal defense attorney for our young son. We had interviewed approx. 5 other lawyers and were trying to make the best decision possible. From the moment we walked into Brian Walker Law Firm, the staff put us at ease immediately. Yesenia was there to answer any que...stions prior to consultation with Brian Walker. When we sat down with Mr. Walker, he asked how we were doing prior to jumping into the legal stuff. This was the 1st Law Firm/Lawyer to ask about us personally during this extremely difficult legal situation. From that moment on, we knew Brian Walker was the Lawyer for us! During the 2.5 year legal roller coaster, Brian & Yesenia were always available to answer our questions timely and help for us to understand the legal process despite this being the worst situation of our lives. Brian "The Bulldog" Walker (our nickname for Mr. Walker as he was fighting for what is right & just) took on our case and ensured us all of our legal matters would be handled professionally and with his superior expertise. Mr. Walker had a defense lined up for these ridiculous charges and case was dismissed. There is NO other defense attorney we would ever utilize! Brian Walker & Yesenia are the TEAM FOR YOU! Don't waste your time looking & interviewing other attorneys as there is NO COMPARISON! THANK YOU BRAIN & YESENIA

Extraordinarily gifted!

Mr. Walker has assisted my friends and family members; he is a caring and sincere man, but more importantly thorough. He's like the silent judicial enforcer: Doctor Jurisprudence. He speaks the truth with authority, and his extraordinary gifts allow him to be a fierce trial attorney. He's... never failed to return my calls, whether I called to refer a friend, or to ask a question. His rates are fair, as well. If there were 10 stars, I would rate Mr. Walker with the full ten. Brian is the premiere attorney of Vancouver. His staff is extremely understanding, and just as premiere in their client relations. Once, I filled for bankruptcy with no representative, when the deadline came, I was overwhelmed. I quickly called Brian's office, and his senior legal assistant quickly gained Brian's authorization to assist me. I went to the office, and because of Brian, we met the Federal Bankruptcy filling deadline. Brian Walker is the attorney to have at your side, he has a calmness about him. I strongly recommend Brian as Washington and Oregon's Premier attorney!

Great during the trial!

Brian knows the law and was very prepared. We were all hoping to avoid a trial, but once it started Brian took control of the situation. I would work with him again, but I hope I never need to!

My experience

I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Brian Walker for his defense of any criminal cases you might be facing. I was recently charged with both theft and assault in Vancouver, Wa. If convicted I was facing severe penalties and consequences, including jail time, having a criminal record, and severel...y limiting future job prospects. As being charged with theft and assault potentially presents employers with understandable l liabilities. In the most important and scary process of my life Brian took the time to explain my rights in all stages of this criminal process. After careful consideration and consultation with Mr. Walker I decided NOT to take a reduced plea deal Brian is smart and skilled, but more importantly he is a gifted lawyer. His natural people skills, preparation and intuitive ability to question witnesses and persuade the jury led to the jury finding me not guilty. I understand what you are going through, and how scary this is. I unequivocally recommend you hire Mr. Walker.

"I've known Brian since I started practicing law in Vancouver back in 2002. Simply put, he's one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Clark County and through-out Washington state. Brian possesses the two attributes you want in a criminal defense attorney (1) thorough and detailed knowledge of the legal system and (2) the ability to hold the government to the highest burden of proof there is in our profession. I endorse this lawyer 100%."

"Attorney Brian A. Walker is someone I look up to, and I think he very much tries to do what is right on behalf of his clients. Mr. Walker is independent, and works hard, and his clients benefit from this business model. The attorney also cares about what is going on in his legal community, and he reaches out to newer attorneys to support diversity."

"I have known Brian for almost 20 years. I am impressed by how hard he fights for his criminal law clients, particularly considering the fact that they are always David to the prosecutor’s Goliath. But as we all know, David did win and likewise Brian works very hard for his clients."
