About Mekisha Jane Walker

"I am an experienced and aggressive trial attorney, committed to defending your case."

A Unique Advantage

As a former Assistant District Attorney and Felony Prosecutor for Harris County, I know the ropes and I can lead you through the process, protect your rights, zealously represent your case and obtain truly remarkable results.

While working at the District Attorney’s office, I handled various crimes on both the misdemeanor and felony level, where I gained valuable trial experience. Having prosecuted cases from arraignment through trial provides a perspective and advantage over other defense attorneys in that I am truly able to see the case from both sides and prepare your defense with their strategies in mind.

My defense representation is both strategic and results-oriented. I know what's at stake in criminal cases and I am fully aware of how the outcome can impact your future.
