Law Office of K Walter Johnson

Impressive and solid knowledge of law coupled with strong ethics, patience, and care all make Walter a rare and outstanding lawyer. He makes you feel assured that he will take care of you. He has been very helpful to my family and me. I whole-​heartedly recommend and endorse him and his firm.

Two acquaintances mentioned that Walter had done work for them. They were happy with the results.
Based on their referral I asked Walter to do some work for me.
I am not overly impressed by attorneys as a class. Most offer low value per dollar charged. Unilocal might be the only place you can tell it like it is about an attorney. I have hired around a dozen lawyers.
Speaking only from my experience, Walter rates as the best whom I have personally observed. Unlike most others, he did not exaggerate hours to inflate fees. The fixed price paradigm he offered worked for me. The work was effective. The final charges were slightly less than his initial estimate. The office at 580 & 680 was convenient to get to.

I needed some questions to be answered about my parents will and Walter answered all of my questions and gave me some advice that was helpful. He is a real person who is a real lawyer that does not act like one (anything for money).
Its hard to find a person like Walter who really cares. If you want questions answered call him.

I was seeking an attorney to assist my parents with estate planning. My own attorney in Los Angeles recommended a firm in Livermore, but it took 3 days for a staff member to acknowledge my request for a meeting.
In the meantime I found Walter Johnson on Unilocal.Walter returned my call personally and spoke with me for at least 20 minutes. We have since been corresponding by email. He has provided several tools that we will be using to prep for our estate planning meeting.

If you are looking for an attorney of good character, look no further. Meeting Walter has truly been a blessing to our family. We had a couple of threatening situations arise, we took them to Walter, he walked us through them professionally and ethically, with complete resolve. Thank you Walter.

I first did an estate plan some 11 years ago. It was messy, and I never really understood what it was or why I needed one. It was also poorly structured (in hindsight). 11 years and 2 daughters later, it was time for an update. Found Walter on Unilocal — could not have been happier. He rolled the old estate plan into a new one, that I actually understood — and also helped out with all appropriate paperwork for my wife as well. He completed the project on time, for a fixed [affordable] fee, and with a very refreshing level of accuracy, professionalism and responsiveness. The whole process took about 3 weeks — with Walter patiently explaining every step along the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Walter — in a heartbeat. And that’s from someone who’s generally disappointed with the current state/​quality of the service industry. 5 stars. No question.

K Walter Johnson is a very sincere attorney. I called to ask if they gave free consultations and he answered all my questions right then over the phone. I was feeling so sick and scared but he put all my fears at ease.

I called Walter, after searching through Unilocal!for lawyers. I liked that I actually called and Walter was on the other line not a Secretary. He gave me a lot of good advice and if I proceed I will definitely be using his services.
Thank you!

Walter is not only highly qualified as an attorney, he is of the highest quality in the area of character.
He is hardworking and very reliable.
He is my very first choice in legal help.
I recommend him very strongly.
You will never regret using him.
Outstanding!

Update 4÷20÷13: We connected with Walter, he was on vacation at the time I wrote the initial review. Once we started working with him it quickly became apparent why he is rated so highly on Unilocal.He was very organized & everything was done very professionally including the signing ceremony. Upgrading my review to 5 star. Will definitely recommend him to anyone creating an estate plan.

I had real estate clients who were marrying late in life. Both brought assets which included real estate to the marriage. They had many questions/​concerns. I encouraged them to contact Walter and put together a comprehensive estate plan with his guidance. They did so and it has turned out to be very fortunate that they did.

Walter is outstanding. His advice is always thoughtful and focused on what is best for me and my family as opposed to what is most profitable for him. He recently advised me on a charitable trust, cut through all the legal/​financial clutter and got to the heart of the matter in only a few moments. Walter is a man you can trust.

Walter took the time, over the phone, to answer a question for me which I thought was silly, yet it was important for me to know the ‘legal’ answer! After explaining my situation with Walter on the family matter, including all the names involved and their status in life, Walter was able to provide me, not necessarily the answer I wanted, but the RIGHT answer in following the law with morality! We spent a total of 15 minutes on the phone. He was professional, kind with his words for the answer and actually pointed out, gently, the ‘other side of the coin’ for me which was a good thing to see since I was pretty much wrapped up in my own world.
I have also had my Estate Planning done by Walter… EXCELLENT job and really painless!

Mr. Johnson was so helpful in reading over a business contract that we had originally read ourselves. It sounded good, but we wanted a «professional opinion»… it was too important to us to take a shortcut and just do it ourselves.
After he read through it, he was able to point out several «issues» that needed clarifying so that we would be most protected.
He was our advocate throughout this process and gave professional insight into what the «other party» was thinking in writing the contract.
We definitely would use him again and would recommend him for any legal matter. We now have a «family lawyer!»

Walter did a great job reviewing our old family trust and making recommendations for revisions. Highly recommend.

Needed a residential lease done. Walter was thorough and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help with residential rental agreements.
4 stars for doing a good job. 5 stars for doing it so quickly.

Walter assisted me in deciphering a commercial lease agreement. At first I tried to understand the 25+ pages of latin words myself. As a former CPA how hard can it be… right? Wrong. I am so glad that I retained Walter to represent me in my lease negotiations. He pointed out so many areas in the contract that required deletion and or modifications. Walter also made recommendations on how I represented myself to the brokers. He really became my advocate and ensured that the lease contract was fair and equitable. At the same time, he really educated me on many aspects of a so called «standard lease agreement». All I can say is that never assume that standard means fair! I think I found a lawyer for life!

Walter is amazing. He had done my Estate Plan and it was the best experience ever. I didn’t know a whole lot about the process and he was so knowledgeable, trustworthy and made it so easy. The greatest feeling was the peace of mind he gave me and my family with having it complete. I have to say the education, knowledge and peace of mind with working with Walter was the best thing I ever did to make sure everything I work so hard for is secure with my loved ones. Thank you Walter for a great experince, I would reccomend you to anyone. Best Service you can receive!

For over ten years I have known that I should set up an Estate Plan. I checked out online «do-​it-​yourself» solutions and procrastinated because I was not comfortable with this choice. I hesitated contacting an Estate Planning Attorney because I was concerned the cost would be high and the process difficult.
Then I ran across the Law Office of K Walter Johnson. Mr. Johnson set up a free consultation and explained the process of setting up our estate plan. I was impressed on how easy the process was! Mr. Johnson handled every detail efficiently and effectively. He responded to my questions quickly and clearly making sure I understood and was comfortable with my options.
Value is getting something of high quality at a reasonable price. I feel using the Law Office of K Walter Johnson provided us with the best value in the area, hands down. Both my wife and I are glad to have our estate plan completed and appreciated the services of Mr. Johnson. I highly recommend using his services. If I would have known this process was so easy and reasonably priced, I would have done this ten years ago.

I got my estate plan done with Walter. He has been an unbelievable help. He is an absolute gentlemen guided us thru the process very well. He worked with us through many reschedules and got everything done.
When the whole process started we were a little nervous. We called him out of the blue thru some listing in a forum. the price sounded too good to be true. For the first consultation Walter came to our house to explain the process. I have never met a lawyer who I felt genuinely comfortable the first time. Walter was very thorough the process. My witnesses also commented on how professional he was.
I am very glad I found Walter to do my estate plan. I highly recommend him for getting your estate plan done.
