Family Law

Divorce
Child Support
· Believe it or not, some days it is great to be a lawyer. The judge in Walton County allowed my client, a single mom, to have her new husband adopt her 7-year-old daughter. This was over the objections of the real father who had not seen the child since 2015 and did not pay child support since 2017....a very happy ending.
Child Custody and Visitation
The vast majority of our clients with child custody and visitation issues are loving and caring parents who want to do what is best for their children, but discussion of children’s best interests can get to be a contentious and sensitive matter.
Adoption
Our many years of experience include Adoption Law. We understand the sensitive nature of adoption issues and have experience in dealing with the legal framework which surrounds these areas in regards to children and their prospective parents.
Premarital Agreement
Preparing a prenuptial agreement before your marriage can give you both peace of mind. The Walker Law Firm regularly drafts prenuptial and postnuptial agreements so you can focus on your life together.
Guardianship
The financial power of attorney is important, it can make a guardianship necessary for the person who cannot manage his or her affairs.
Spousal Support
· Asked to take over a divorce and custody case two weeks before trial, obtained primary custody, higher child support with extra income imputed to husband who was understating income, alimony, ownership of family business, and attorney fees awarded to wife.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
David started his practice at a time when lawyers took on all sorts of cases, and he handled litigation in almost all civil law fields, wrote wills, handled closings, incorporations, and criminal defense trials, gaining broad and invaluable experience.
DUI/DWI
· We settled a divorce and custody case recently when the opposite party (the mother) was found to be concealing her bipolar condition. Some people would testify she was just the sweetest mom. But within the previous year, she had two DUIs, within a month of each other, the 2nd one with the child in the car. She was also charged with child endangerment. She was self-medicating herself with alcohol. In these situations, she had anger and violent tendency problems.She had failed to disclose to anyone in the case including her lawyer that she had seen a psychiatrist after the DUIs, and was diagnosed as bipolar and given medication.The medical records showed this and showed she had stopped her medication blamed that on jail time which she had never served, and quit seeing the doctor.The name of the psychiatrist came out in settlement talks inadvertently. We subpoenaed the records and found what her condition was. The Guardian ad litem recommended that custody goes to the father.Our client, the father got full custody and the mother has only supervised visitation with orders to not drive with the child, get counseling and treatment as recommended, and if she ever wants to change the visitation the situation she has to file a new case in court to ask for it and so why she should get it.
Wrongful Death
· Six-figure settlement of a wrongful death case involving negligent driving by state trooper where daughter given up for adoption was able to claim her share
Theft
Restraining Order
· Won a covenant not to compete case successfully for a salesman whose former employer attempted to get a restraining order against him, to prevent him from working for a new employer, under a defective covenant not to compete

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
· Obtained $800,000 settlement in corporate litigation representing shareholder in family Corporation who was fired but had a right to redeem his shares under written shareholders agreement. After two years of litigation there was a successful outcome.

Health Law

Personal Injury
Our success stories deal with court case results and range from estate litigation to family law, to personal injury. Lawyers who go to court learn a lot about how to avoid litigation for their clients, and when to settle.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Have you decided who will get your house, your money, and other assets when you die? Do you have a plan for who will take care of you and manage your finances when you are sick or unable to take care of yourself? This process is called estate planning. We can help you make these important decisions and put them in writing, so your family will follow your wishes. Handling an estate is much easier if there is a will.
Wills
-We offer a free will and trust preparation checklist and information package, Email us at: david.walker.law.firm@gmail.com.
Trusts
The attorney's broad experience is shown by these results, and qualification for providing wills, trusts and probate litigation.
Power of Attorney
In estate planning, there are related topics such as Advanced Directives and Financial Powers of Attorney. The health care power of attorney, or living will is now known as an “Advance Directive.” The advance directive shows your preferences for life support decisions. The financial durable power of attorney can be used for financial planning during disability to have someone manage affairs when a person is unable to manage his or her own affairs during life.
Probate
Attorney David Walker is an outstanding attorney that is highly skilled in the practice areas of probate law and estate planning. I seek every opportunity to refer clients who seek assistance in these areas as he is the ultimate professional whose character is above reproach.
