Mr. Cleveland is very knowledgeable and compassionate. He takes time to talk, and he doesn't hold back. As an ex-police officer, he sees both sides and I highly recommend his services.

I was satisfied in the end with how my lawyer and his team worked with me with genuine care and not just an obligation. I know things were delayed for EVERYONE due to our global pandemic but even with this in place I was patient as were they. And I suggest and trust Attorney Walt, and you’ll be in good hands!

Walt is straightforward, honest and goes the extra mile to help his clients. He was able to recommend a specialized probation program for my felony DWI that I recently completed and it was truly a lifesaver.

I met Walt in 2009 after I was arrested on a drug charge, while on probation, and Walt was my court appointed attorney. I have had a few other court appointed attorneys and two I actually paid for, but I would not recommend ANY of them. My charges were in Tarrant County, but my probation was in Parker County. Getting a new charge is obviously a probation violation. Walt offered to represent me in my probation revocation even though he was only appointed to represent me on my new charges. Walt Cleveland is a knowledgeable, caring attorney. He gave me solid advice without being condescending. My life has turned in a whole new direction since then and I don't plan on ever needing a criminal attorney again, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Walt Cleveland.

Mr. Cleveland has gone above and beyond for me and my case. Always has the best advice and was Easy to talk to! Mr. Cleveland and his staff truly care about your case. He is the most respectful and genuine attorney that I have ever met! If you want someone who is highly respectful and extremely knowledgeable then Mr. Cleveland is your guy! Thank you for all you have done and I will be referring people your way if they are in need.

Told me the truth and what he can do for me straight up guy and on top of that he beat my case

I was faced with felony charges several years ago. I met with Walt and explained my situation and set me at ease. He listened and quickly was able to give me the confidence he could handle the situation I found myself facing. Final result was the charges were dropped in the interest of justice. He also handle some incidental related legal issues. Always available and returned calls.

As our case progressed he was helpful and patient to explain and guide us every step of the way. It was almost as if we were the only client he had, yet I know he is very busy and would sometimes have several cases going in different courtrooms simultaneously. My son had him at first as court appointed, then we later hired him on another case. On the first case I was very skeptical because of the way court appointed attorneys are conveyed in the media. I called eight different attorneys. Five of them knew him. Four of those highly recommended him and one of those went into great detail with me about how much he respected him, convincing me I didn't need to hire another(i.e. him). That was very impressive, but not as impressive as the results he got before one of the known toughest judges in THE known toughest county in the toughest state against certain crimes. I am very thankful we met Walt and Linda and would encourage anyone in a criminally defensive situation to consider his firm. Walt, you changed my mind about defense attorneys for the rest of my life. I appreciate all you did for my son.

Walt and Linda are very compassionate and truly care about their clients. I was accused of something I didn’t do and Walt guided me on what I needed to do and he got my case dismissed. I would definitely recommend him. Best attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

This guy is a veritable who's who and who knows who for criminal legal representation. Mr. Cleveland not only knew the law and the tricks of the trade so to speak, he also had solid, great and established relationships with the personnel and Judges within the court and this helped tremendously. Mr. Cleveland was able to ultimately get my case dismissed after completing a class and minimal community service hours, which the Judge took as his recommendation. He also cleverly and skillfully helped me avoid having to pay additional money for court costs and other court ordered fees. I say this without equivocation (hesitation), "He is a Top Notch criminal lawyer and I highly, highly recommend him".

Check out Walt's website defensedoneright.com as it communicates his services well. Honest lawyer seems like a paradoxical term but in Walt's case, it's true. I've had experiences with other attorneys where it seems like they just want to get your money & be done with you but Walt seems most interested in helping people...and he's willing to put in the work to do it

Mr. Cleveland has been working on my case for 3 months. He returns my calls promptly and he is always patient with me. He carries out his defense strategic plans step by step with confidence; he again and again proves that I have been wasting my energy to worry about anything. He is the only attorney who I can trust in my 25 years in business.
