"I found Walter to be extremely knowledgeable in the area of probate and estate law -- the subject matter for which he served as an expert witness. He was also very responsive to my questions and any assistance I needed on my case." James Robert Krause, Esq., Friedman & Feiger, LLP
"I was pleased to hire Walter in a breach of fiduciary duty case to testify concerning reasonable attorney fees charged by an executor/attorney. He testified at trial and his testimony was instrumental in obtaining a favorable verdict for my clients. In another similar circumstance, I will call Walter again." David Pyke, Pyke & Associates, P.C.
