Criminal Defense 90%

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.

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!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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%."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

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.
