Hired Attorney

Terrible Attorney, Overcharges. Has no consideration for his clients. It's his way or no way. Doesn't have enough experience on how to win cases. In criminal and probate cases he sides in with the other side. Don't hire this attorney. We hired this attorney to represent us and he down right left us flat, holding the bag, after he thought he lost our case. We hired another attorney who had to pickup the scrap he left and won the case.

This client has submitted grievances against myself and two judges. The Michigan Court of Appeals upheld the lower courts' rulings. Proving I was correct in my advise, but client wanted to proceed on a course of action I would not follow.

Walter J. Salens is a skunk who will do anything to win a case, including remove legal and create illegal documents to serve his purpose. He uses threats and intimidation, as well as generates discourse within a family to attempt to gain what he wants; there is nothing lawful or professional in his methods and surprisingly he hasn’t been disbarred for these actions. Thankfully the courts / judge followed the actual, legitimate documents and records to make a fair and accurate judgement on a case that Salens dragged on for years, and refused to apologize for all the damage created. I’m sure he’ll never recofnize the distress he caused my family for those years, but I hope no one else suffers from his unscrupulous and corrupt tactics.

Worked with Walt Salens and now have to hire another lawyer to fix all of his mistakes. Sloppy work with tons of errors and has resulted in months of rework and added cost for us to correct. Additionally, he will not correct his mistakes and simply ignore your calls to his office. Save yourself a headache and find someone whose an actual competent lawyer.

Hired Attorney

Walt Salens is a horrible attorney. Stay clear of his practice. He’s was not thorough, or even knowledgeable about the law or even how to apply it to my case. He was definitely confused about what he was in court for as he was mixing up my case with some other client of his. Which was pointed out by the judge and opposing attorney. Kind of hard to win when your attorney is just flat out an embarrassment. He was prompt at sending me invoices and expected to be paid timely.
