Mr David H Walkowiak, Private Law Practice

Too many to name. However, we have assisted many foreclosure clients received deficiency waivers, cash settlements and principal reductions. The biggest principal reduction that we received for a client occurred last year when we obtained a $750,000 principal reduction for a client who had not made a payment for approximately four (4) years.

Primarily "word of mouth" by providing exceptional service at reasonable prices.

Integrity and hard work. We bill conservatively (in 10's of an hour increments and in other conservative billing practices). Communication with your attorney and the Firm is critical. We have a system that allows our clients to log into their case through a portal and they have access to all documents/pleadings and invoices.

Frankly, it really depends on the type of case. I find that regularly practicing before certain judges is an advantage in that we know their tendencies and over time we earn the "benefit of the doubt" by being honest.

It is limited depending on what we receive from the client(s). We generally prefer in-office consultations; however, we have conducted telephonic and video consultations. Other than bankruptcy, foreclosure defense and personal injury; we normally charge a $200 initial consultation fee which represents a discounted hourly rate (most of our initial consultations last 60-90 minutes).

See above for ""free"" consultations. We normally have a two-page initial intake sheet and a two-page disclosure form that needs to be completed and signed prior to the consultation.

Our personal service and ease of communication. In the event that we are not available at the time that you call in, we set up an appointment telephone call usually the same or next day.

Helping people change their lives (or keep their lives as intact as possible) during difficult times.

I have been a professional real estate licensee since 1989 and a real estate broker since 1991. I am an avid sports fan and work as an NHL Off-Ice Official and own DNA Sports Management and am certified as a Contract advisor for both the NFLPA and CFLPA.

I am very involved in my church as the President of the Church Counsel at All Saints Lutheran Church in Lutz, Florida. My wife, Gwen Walkowiak (also a member of our Firm) serves on the board of Christian Social Services which is a local food bank. We work with "No Strings Attached" homeless ministry (we act as a collection site for donated clothes) and support annual Christmas Toy drives.
