“My son was facing serious felony molestation charges in Juvenile Court. We hired a criminal defense attorney of the law firm of Wallin & Klarich to represent my son. It was a very long process, but my Wallin & Klarich attorney was with us throughout each step of the way. At the conclusion, my son avoided any time in custody and we were able to put this entire ordeal behind us. Thank you Wallin & Klarich  for all of your help with my son’s case. We really appreciate it.”

“I was young and naïve and had sex with a girl that I went to school with. She had a boyfriend and when she was confronted by her parents about where she had been, she told them and the police that I had raped her. I was looking at being in custody for 10 years prior to retaining Wallin & Klarich. My WK attorney took over my case and put on a great defense for me. I was found “not guilty” and walked out of the courtroom a free man. Wallin & Klarich saved 10 years of my life and preserved my future.”

“Prior to retaining the services of Wallin & Klarich, I was convicted of statutory rape, which subjected me to automatic deportation. I retained the services of Wallin & Klarich to set aside conviction and to avoid deportation. The attorneys of Wallin & Klarich moved aggressively to present my case to the District Attorney and Judge. Wallin & Klarich successfully drafted and argued a Writ of Corum Nobis and Writ of Habeas Corpus, which led to the dismissal of all charges against me. Due to Wallin & Klarich’s superb legal knowledge, the District Attorney will not re-file any charges against me. Since there is no conviction on my record, the INS cannot initiate deportation proceedings against me. I am grateful to Wallin & Klarich for their advice and guidance. I highly recommend them to anyone facing a similar situation or any other criminal charge.”

“I was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse, Penal Code Section 261.5 for having sex with a minor. Substantial evidence, including my confession, proved I committed the crime. The indicated sentence from the court if I plead guilty was 60 days in jail, registration as a sex offender, and four years of probation. Notably the sex registration is something I would have had to do every year for the rest of my life. In addition, finding a job and even buying a home would have been extremely difficult because of the possible harassment by police authorities. Therefore, I hired the law offices of Wallin & Klarich to represent me. Their attorneys are well acquainted with the District Attorneys and the judges for each court. They charged me a flat fee, and we continued to make court appearances until the District Attorney finally agreed to reduce my charges to a “disturbing the peace, Penal Code Section 415,” and I was sentenced to community service and informal probation. With this disposition I avoided having to register as a sex offender, as well as having a sex offense on my record. Also, I was not required to do any jail time. The efforts of the attorneys of Wallin & Klarich saved my life from being seriously and permanently affected. I would enthusiastically recommend them for any criminal matter.”

“I was arrested and charged with six felony counts and facing 34 years in state prison because of sexual child abuse accusations. A rape conviction would have required me to register as a sex offender for a lifetime. My lawyer fought the case from start to finish. During the course of my case, he managed to get thrown out key evidence from the prosecutor because it was unlawfully obtained. As a result, he was able to resolve my case on the third day of trial with no jail time and with all the rape charges dismissed! I can now rebuild my life thanks to the efforts of Wallin & Klarich.”

“I was charged with child annoyance, which required registration as a sex offender and possible jail time. I am very thankful for the outcomes my Wallin & Klarich attorney achieved for my case. I am very happy because I do not have to register as a sex offender, I do not have to spend any time in jail, an my charges reduced. I would definitely recommend WK to anyone else.”

Physical Child Abuse

“I was charged with child abuse, and a misdemeanor complaint was filed against me. I proclaimed my innocence and entered a plea of NOT GULITY. I sought the services of the Wallin & Klarich law firm who willingly took on my case. The firm provided me with the best counsel on their staff. My Wallin & Klarich attorney set my case for Jury Trial and gave a tenacious and vigorous defense, which resulted in the dismissal of all the charges.

“Wallin & Klarich attorney’s professionalism, care, and concern for myself and my family throughout this ordeal made me feel like more than just another client. I felt as I had a friend and an advocate willing to fight for me with every available resource, which proved true in the end as I was exonerated. My attorney is most certainly an asset to the partners at Wallin & Klarich. I will highly recommend their services to anyone who inquires about hiring an attorney.”

“I was charged with corporal injury to a child. I hired Wallin & Klarich to represent me, and my attorney from Wallin & Klarich got all charges against me dismissed because the district attorney violated my right to a speedy trial. I would recommend Wallin & Klarich to anyone who feels that their rights have been violated.”

“I was charged with multiple felony counts. I was concerned about going to jail on my case. My attorney fought really hard to get me a good result. I was exposed to 4 years 8 months state prison. My lawyer was able to convince both the prosecutor and the Superior Court Judge to allow me to do a jail alternative program out of custody with some community service. I am very, very, pleased with my representation by Wallin & Klarich.”
