Report
Less than competent representation regarding my criminal defense. Gave me an inexperienced lawyer that had no background trying cases like mine. They knew I needed a family lawyer and didn't provide any guidance for somebody who has no experience with the justice system. Purely a money grab to cover their high overhead. Took advantage of my fear and naivity to the tune of 25000 when I had other options available. Thanks from me and my family...

Top notch and very professional lawyer
We contracted Carol Walker to help for our new home closing. Despite extra layers of complexity, the owner being out of the country and not immediately reachable, Patterson law did all the background check, got impossible to get documents and expedited everything. Everything went smoothly, safely and cheaply. No hidden fees. This will be our favorite lawyer firm

I've used Walker Law for two real estate transactions and found Katherine and staff to be totally on the ball, with excellent communications and a reasonable fee.

The worse experience my spouse or I have ever had with a lawyer. Continuously made us feel as if the deal "may not go through" for things that were completely out of our control. Stay away from this law firm. Very confrontational and not helpful whatsoever.

Had them help with the legal aspects of buying a home. They came highly recommended and completely took the stress out of the process and were a pleasure to work with
