I do not believe in testimonials, publishing victory statements, or citing successful cases. Every client situation is unique; every outcome is determined by the nature of that dispute, the personalities involved, and effacacy of the facts and claims. But, I occasionally get asked for references, my attorney-client privilege makes that difficult - and still somewhat inappropriate. But, I appreciate the process is an unknown for most people, and for the limited purpose of demonstrating how some of my former clients evaluate the process of working with me, I will offer the following:
The Law Offices of
THOMAS C. WALKER

With Tom's great insight and understanding of both separation arrangements and employment contracts, he essentially gained me 10's of thousands of dollars in my negotiations with my previous and new employers. Tom was very easy to work with, very responsive to my requests and questions, and had exceptionally reasonable fees. I highly recommend Tom and will certainly never hesitate to work with him again. 1c293
Tom provided excellent service to me through a difficult work situation that was very stressful. His competence in handling my case made it easier to let go of some of the stress of this situation. He was able to bring about an expedient resolution to my case in keeping with my request to do so. 071463179836C
Tom was great help in coaching me on an equitable severance package when I was feeling forced out of a job and decided to leave voluntarily. He not only provided good legal advice but excellent coaching. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing help in the employment law arena or in coaching around matters such as discrimination, unfair hiring or dismissal, etc. Excellent experience. #0618465785787C
Tom was extremely knowledgeable and a superior strategist. He understood immediately how to best proceed with my case. He is an excellent listener and used my information to facilitate a rapid settlement with a tough company who had enlisted a high profile law firm. Tom changed my impression of the legal profession. I can't say enough good things about Tom. 0617494896952C
You can tell when somebody actually cares and when somebody is just going through the motions because that is the thing to do. I am confident that Tom Walker actually cares, which in my eyes is the single most important contribution any of us can make towards our fellow man. I have also been very impressed with the way Tom carries himself and the way he projects an confident but not cocky command of the situation. On the few occasions I was getting a little anxious Tom's professional knowledge and clear confident way of addressing my concerns brought me back to neutral ground quickly. Anybody going through this type of thing really needs to be able to trust their lawyer. I trust Tom completely. 0627792048602C
I highly recommend Tom. Three aspects of his professional (and successful) handling of my case stand out in my mind: responsiveness, patience, and preparedness. From the beginning to the very end of my four month long case, he responded to every single email/vm within 24 hours, if not a couple hours, even after I had paid in full. Though it was a flat-fee arrangement, he was patient with my many novice concerns and questions, never making me feel like there was a stopwatch in his hand. Finally, his stated strategy is to prepare for the worse and cover all the angles - unsurprising for the legal profession - which he lived up to. Though I hope to never require his services again, I take comfort in knowing I would be in such professional hands. 1C263
