Nobody wants to go to a lawyer but when you need to, it is good to know we have a group like Walton Law Firm, PC in our area to help in times of trouble. "80 percent of our client base comes from wrongful death and personal injury type cases with the remaining 20 percent being criminal cases," says Will O. (Trip) Walton, III, owner and managing partner of Walton Law Firm, PC. Trip was the 1982 golden glove heavyweight champion for the state of Alabama. Therefore, he approaches each case with a fighter's tenacity. He will fight for you until you get a just trial or settlement. He is just that kind of guy. Trip grew up in East Alabama where both his father, Will O.(Billy) Walton, Jr. and his grandfather, Judge Will O. Walton, Sr. were attorneys. Trip finished his undergraduate degree at Auburn and then received his law degree from the University of Alabama, School of Law in Tuscaloosa. Trip has been fortunate enough to work with prominent, local attorneys such as Jacob Walker, Jr., Judge Robert M. Harper and Bob Meadows. He believes his association with these attorneys has contributed to his success. Walton Law Firm, PC currently has cases in over 16 counties in Alabama as well as five other states. With this experience, they are ready to help with any case big or small. They have won cases involving automobile accidents, tractor trailer accidents, wrongful death, workplace and job related accidents, slip and fall, and many other situations that needed the expertise of a truly dedicated group.
The hallmark of Walton Law Firm, PC is client service. They provide personalized legal representation. Clients can rely on them to be approachable, responsive, efficient, and effective. They work closely with each client to analyze the merits of each case, evaluate the underlying facts and law, and develop a strategy. They are well regarded by other attorneys and judges because they demonstrate the strictest personal and professional ethics in each case.
The firm has an unparalleled track record for success, having recovered millions of dollars for clients over the past few years. They offer free initial consultations on personal injury and wrongful death cases, handling them on a contingency fee basis, which means no fee unless the client recovers damages. They will even make house calls if you are unable to come to the office.
Brent L. Dean is an associate with Walton Law Firm, PC. He earned his undergraduate and masters degrees from Auburn and received his law degree from Cumberland School of Law, Samford University in Birmingham. Brent has also served with the Alabama Supreme Court as law clerk. In the past 18 months, Brent has settled two asbestos, wrongful death claims, both of which required lawsuits in the state of Georgia. These plaintiffs were exposed to asbestos and died from Mesothelioma, a lethal form of cancer.
The staff at Walton Law Firm, PC is committed to providing excellent service. Hoyt W. Hill has one of the "best legal minds in the state of Alabama", says Trip. He is the legal researcher and brief writer for the firm. Rebecca Prather is the business manager for the firm and serves as Trip's personal assistant. Glenda Waldrop is the firm's legal secretary and Jennie Lockridge is the firm's paralegal.
