Attorney at Law
A champion in the courtroom, Walter’s litigation experience includes suits involving a vast array of personal injury cases and business litigation spanning across multiple states. He began his legal career practicing commercial litigation at Phelps Dunbar in New Orleans, Louisiana.
There, he helped litigate complex business disputes between major companies. As part of a team representing Lloyd’s of London, UPS, television news stations, government contractors, industry-leading companies in oil & gas and other business industries, as well as former mayoral candidates and professional athletes, he helped his clients obtain successful outcomes, including before the Louisiana Supreme Court.
