Larry Walker Jr.

Winter Park,FL

Summary

Greetings, and thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

I am a recent graduate of Barry Law school, and I was admitted to the Florida Bar this past December after passing the Bar exam on my first attempt.

I have made an extensive study of Florida Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure and know the proper course of action to take in service of process, depositions, filing motions, and speaking to Courts.

Invariably, I am early for any engagement, and I absolutely will not leave a task or assignment unfinished.

During my years acquiring a degree in History from the University of Central Florida, I worked as a substitute teacher, and as a server at a 5-star restaurant. Through these activities, I developed good people skills, and a keen ear for analytical-listening- . . . that is, hearing the thoughts within a person's speech.

Both my server and teaching positions have required the organization and management of very high workloads and stressful situations. I pride myself on maintaining a cool head, and remaining ever focused upon my goal.

I also volunteer at the Give Kids The World village for terminally-ill children in Kissimmee at least once per week. Through this activity, I effectively reduce my stress, and I am regularly reminded of the importance of serving my fellow man & community.

Again, thank you for your time. I sincerely hope to be adding value to your team in the near future.
