Josh Walker, Attorney
Josh Walker — The Walker Law Group's Second-Generation Trial Attorney
Josh Walker followed his father, Mike Walker, into trial law, and has spent his career since doing exactly the kind of hands-on litigation work that runs in the family.
From a Factory Worker's Son to a Trial Lawyer
Mike is the son of a factory worker and the first in his extended family — aunts, uncles, cousins included — to go to college, let alone law school. Coming from a family of farmers and factory workers, he grew up thinking lawyers were for wealthy people. He watched people he knew get told their problems weren't "big" enough to justify an expensive lawyer, or were too big to even consider the cost. Justice didn't seem available to people like him. A push from his business law professor at Purdue is what actually started him on the path.
Mike never had ambitions of being a "corporate" lawyer. He was compelled by people problems — he wanted to help people. In law school, he learned about torts, a field built on fairness and reasonableness, two concepts he'd always tried to live by. It was a natural fit. He chose Stetson University for law school without fully appreciating its national reputation for advocacy — Stetson is regularly ranked among the top trial programs in the country by U.S. News. That's where he found his way into trial work specifically.
Still today, people who meet Mike, in his practice or in his free time, tell him he doesn't seem like a lawyer. He takes that as a compliment.

A Tampa Bay Upbringing, and a Return to Stetson
Joshua T. Walker was born in Vincennes, Indiana, but grew up in Pinellas County, where he graduated from Shorecrest Preparatory School. He earned his bachelor's degree in business management from the University of North Florida, then followed his father's path to Stetson University College of Law — the same nationally ranked trial-advocacy program that shaped Mike's career.
