What Clients Say About Working With The Walker Law Group

Reviews are one of the only places prospective clients can see, in someone else's words, whether a firm actually follows through after signing a case. Our clients consistently point to the same things: direct communication with the attorney handling their case, being kept informed without having to chase anyone down, and a real sense that their case mattered to the people working it, not just the outcome.

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.
