Soon after becoming an attorney, Ms. Walker joined the Volunteer Organization of the Center for Arkansas Legal Services (VOCALS) to help clients with bankruptcy issues. She quickly proved to be a dependable asset to the program; as a member of VOCALS, Ms. Walker has accepted over 150 cases. 

She continued to accept bankruptcy pro bono clients, even after the bankruptcy laws changed in 2005. This change had a profound impact on the clients of the legal services programs in Arkansas: the pool of attorneys practicing in bankruptcy decreased tremendously, and those attorneys accepting pro bono bankruptcies were even harder to find.  Ms. Walker was among three attorneys out of a former pool of 33 who agreed to continue pro bono bankruptcy work.  In the meantime, she opened her own law office while accepting pro bono cases with unwavering zeal.

Along with doing pro bono work, Ms. Walker serves on several boards and committees.  Ms. Walker is a board member of the VOCALS program, and is currently one of two board members who accept pro bono cases.  She serves on the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission, where she works to see that equal justice reaches all Arkansans.  She is a past president of the Central Arkansas Debtor/Creditor Bar of Central Arkansas. She is a member of the Arkansas Bar Association where she is serving a second term on the House of Delegates.  She also serves as Co-Chair of the Arkansas Bar Association’s Commission on Diversity.  She has done numerous continuing legal education seminars for both the Arkansas Bar Association and the Debtor/Creditor Bar.  And Ms. Walker is a member of the Pulaski County Bar Association, W. Harold Flowers Law Society, and the Judge William R. Overton Inn of Court. 

Ms. Walker completed her undergraduate degree with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 1992, graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.  She graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock School of Law and was licensed in 1995.  She began her legal career in bankruptcy law after completing a clerkship with Judge Andree Layton Roaf.
