No matter the size of a client’s case, attorneys at Walton Law in Snohomish County always keep three guiding principles in mind. Founder Chris Walton acknowledges that they may sound cliché, but sticking to these principles has helped him and his colleagues successfully serve clients — not just by winning cases, but also by giving clients the results they deserve.
Walton Law’s 3 guiding principles are as follows:
- Our clients only get one case: “We understand that our clients only get one case, so we choose to keep our caseload smaller. That allows our team to give each client the attention they deserve,” explains Walton.
- Prepare cases for trial from Day One: While most cases ultimately settle before trial, Walton Law prepares as if they will proceed to trial. This commitment sometimes involves investing hundreds or thousands of hours but gives the client the best chance to obtain the recovery they deserve. “We represent clients on a contingency basis, meaning our fees are only payable if the case is successful.”
- Care more for our clients than the opposition: “When Walton Law takes on a case, our team aims to work harder and care more about our clients than the opposing attorney does for their client.” Walton Law’s experience and careful preparation give their clients an edge.
