400 W. Jasper Road, Killeen 254.526.5688 | carlsonattorneys.com Family law and divorce situations can vary greatly from case to case, which makes seeking representation from a trusted and knowledgeable attorney an important factor that will undoubtedly determine the final outcome. While there are many attorneys who handle divorces, the presence of complicated custody issues, business interests, extensive property ownership, investments and retirement accounts make the selection of an attorney who is experienced with complex divorces a critical decision. Carlson Law Firm Partner and Family Law Attorney Steve Walden has been honing his skills since 1997. During his service in the U.S. Army JAG Corps he gained a wealth of courtroom experience and negotiation skills, which have carried over into his civilian practice. Walden is well respected among his peers and the legal community as is evidenced by his Martindale Hubbell AV Rating, which is the highest peer rating granted. “Our firm is experienced in trial court litigation, including the various discovery techniques established by Texas rules and statutes,” Walden said. “Our attorneys are familiar with and are comfortable in the courtroom, which typically results in favorable trial judgments.”
“
Attorneys at The Carlson Law Firm are also skilled negotiators who are adept at reaching settlements and agreements which save our clients time.

While many divorce situations may require extensive time in the courtroom, attorney negotiations can still be a powerful tool in protecting clients and reaching a favorable resolution. “Attorneys at The Carlson Law Firm are also skilled negotiators who are adept at reaching settlements and agreements which save our clients time, expenses and frustration that can come from having their case go through the entire trial process,” Walden pointed out. The difference between simple divorces and higher-end divorces can make it important to choose an attorney who is experienced with more complex family law situations. “When we think of high-end divorces, we think of marital estates that appraise into the millions of dollars,” Walden noted. “Having a divorce attorney that is experienced in appraising real estate, financial products, jewelry, businesses and equipment is a clear advantage in a law suit. The more experienced attorney will know which documents and records to obtain to prove the true value of the marriage and will have the ability to negotiate the most favorable settlement.” In addition to representing clients who are enduring simple and more complex divorce and child custody matters, Walden also represents clients dealing with criminal law and military law situations.
