Walter Eells has been a very reliable, trustworthy attorney for me since he handled my divorce and custody matters in 2012. He was always on top of things and I can still easily contact him to discuss any ongoing/post-divorce and custodial issues that I have or anticipate, and he is always willing and able to assist me in any way necessary. Simply wonderful and put my mind at ease on many occasions while fighting for equal rights as a father!
