Mr.Walters changed and renewed my faith in lawyers and the justice system. He stood by my son and helped us as a family to understand the legal aspects of the case. I never met a lawyer as honnest and caring to their clients as he is. St. Frances was a advocate for prisoners and the falsely accused. Mr. Walters so fits that definition. I don't believed I ever properly thanked him. It's my hope he will read this. If you are looking for an attorney who will stand by you and give his all, this is the man. He answered ever phone call and every concern.Was extemely knowledgable and experienced in law. Most of all he wasn't judgemental.

After wading thru months and months of BS, I got Dave's name from a cousin in Syracuse. Completely turned my situation around; he immediately took control and held the company responsible. He is a smart man of few words. I trust him, very good guy.

I retained Randi on a Grand Larceny case which she successfully defended me against. In Court, the Judge complimented me on my choice of Attorney and described her as tenacious. She is definitely the lawyer you want to have on your side if you are facing criminal charges. She answered all my questions, kept in touch so I wasn't wondering what was going on, and really made me feel at ease.

There are couple of rules that he would like to get rid of for my sake as he knows I would be reliable to do no such things harmful. This was my first time getting into this area of criminal. My head was expecting nothing. I'm totally clueless about myself, what do I do, what I have to do or what do i need to do. For all my life I have been living good, I never thought I would be in such scenario like I did today. Thanks to George, he really takes your times to give you a lot of insight and did his best make the best result out of your case. He is very patience and communicate.

Alex is the best attorney out there. He has helped my family close on 2 homes and also does our taxes.
He stays on top of everything and takes care to make sure everything stays on schedule.
If you have ever closed on a buy and sale at the same time, you know how stressful and difficult it can be to line everything up just right. Alex made sure that both our recent sale and purchase stayed on track.
