Value means efficient processes for tracking and reporting; creative approaches to reducing legal risk; enhanced cost certainty; and RESULTS.

With each representation, our team is focused on the desired results. While some firms may only focus on the next step in the process, our team focuses the strategy at each stage of litigation on the end result. Focusing on the client's preferred result is an integral part of the strategic process for each case.

We won many awards

We have many awards, including awards for excellent results and great client service. To obtain those awards, Louis Walker follows the platinum rule. “Treat our clients like they want to be treated.”

Can I navigate on my problems alone?

It is perfectly legal for you to represent yourself in court or in other legal matters. Attorneys are professionals who have been trained to offer you legal assistance, and they know how the system works. They can help you through court procedures and ensure that you meet all deadlines and filing requirements. They help ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. Navigating the Civil Justice System is complicated and time consuming. Regardless of the case, having a trained professional guide you through the process will increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

How will I be kept informed of my case?

We understand the importance of communication and transparency between attorney and client. Although we would like to talk to you weekly by telephone, that would be neither practical nor productive. Legal matters have a way of stretching out over long periods of time. To you, it may often seem like ages have gone by without activity, however, in fact, much behind-the-scenes work is being completed so that on the day your matter is ready, nothing will be overlooked. In order to keep the cost of legal services down while maximizing communications, we will strive to keep you informed when anything important happens and to respond to your questions in a reasonable time. In addition, we will inform you when your presence is required, either in our office or in court.

Can I change Attorneys?

If there are issues between you and your attorney, sit down together and discuss them. See if you can resolve the problems together. You may discharge your attorney by informing him/her of your wishes. It may be necessary for the attorney to request permission from the court to withdraw from the case. Even if you are no longer represented by an attorney, you are still required to pay for any services they have performed on your behalf, as well as any other costs incurred.

Are there ways to reduce my legal costs?

The more open and frank you are with your attorney from the beginning of your working relationship, the more time you will save. Having the most accurate knowledge of your case better allows them to chart the best course of action for you and your case. Have any and all relevant documentation ready to present to your attorney.

What about money to be held “in trust” by my attorney?

Certain legal matters require that monies be held “in trust” or “in escrow” for a client for weeks or months at a time. For example, a damage suit settlement may require us to hold the settlement proceeds “in escrow” until the settlement check had been cleared through normal banking procedures. We maintain a separate escrow account, and at no time is money from that account co-mingled with general funds. This is your money held in trust by your attorneys. Separate, detailed records are kept in connection with this account on your behalf.
