Michael L. Walker at the Bay Ridge office.
In His Own Practice
A client should never have to guess where their case stands.
Michael L. Walker has run the same practice, from the same office, for more than fifteen years. That continuity is the point: clients deal with the attorney who knows the file, and the person who assesses the matter at the first consultation is the person who carries it through.
The work spans immigration, real estate, family, bankruptcy, business and litigation — a range that comes from serving a neighbourhood rather than a single industry. Bay Ridge clients rarely arrive with a matter that fits neatly into one category, and a practice built around real life has to be able to see the whole situation.
Lawyers, as guardians of the law, play a vital role in the preservation of society.
