This attorney has been around awhile and is very familiar with law and procedure. Keeps a bag of tricks in his office. Highly recommended



Katarina (client 2018)



Walter Jennings has helped my husband and me with legal issues related to our apartment on three different occasions. In each case, we have received professional, thorough, complete and kind counsel and guidance. Following Walter’s advice has helped us save money, time and difficulties. Walter is exceptionally well versed in his area of law and very patient and understanding.



Kristy J. (client 2019)



Serving as an intermediary between various third parties, they made more progress in one month than my initial attorney had been in a year. Ultimately, and due to Jennings's hard work, a court ruled in my favor.



Kenneth T. (client 2018)



...they definitely pay attention to your case and make you feel like you're their number 1 client. I got an outcome that I'm very happy with. I recommend Walter to anyone who's having any kind of landlord or tenant issue.
