Client Testimonials:

I was in a state of shock when I was arrested for attempted battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. I knew I was innocent of these crimes and knew that I needed to find the right criminal defense attorney to help me fight my case. I wasn’t comfortable with the first attorney I met with but I knew immediately that I was in good hands after meeting with Attorney Andrei Lapine from Wallin & Klarich. I knew Mr. Lapine believed in me and my case and would fight the charges to the bitter end. Mr. Lapine pushed my case to the day of trial and that is when the District Attorney dismissed all of the charges against me. Thank you Wallin & Klarich for standing by me and I would recommend your services to anybody facing criminal charges in Southern California.

I was devastated when police served a search warrant at my home and seized my computers and arrested me for a felony sex crime. I found the law offices of Wallin & Klarich on the internet and immediately made an appointment to meet with Attorney Andrei Lapine. Mr. Lapine listened to my side of the story and I was convinced I hired the right firm after meeting with him. When the case got to court, the District Attorney’s offer was to plead guilty to a felony, serve 1 year in county jail and to register as a sex offender. Mr. Lapine was persistent in his negotiations with the DA and was able to convince them to drop my case to a misdemeanor with no jail time and no registration. I was overjoyed with the result and I want to sincerely thank Wallin & Klarich for all of their time and effort on my case.

Hello,

I am writing this letter to tell that one of your lawyers did a great job. This was a petty theft case for my husband which was taken care of by Andrei Lapine.

The whole case was dismissed. And now my husband doesn’t have any criminal record and we can keep forward with our Canadian Immigration case.

Me and my husband feel very grateful and appreciate all the job Andrei did.

I should add that unlike other lawyers Mr. Andrei Lapine and his assistant were always available on the phone and were answering all my questions. After this type of experience I got a lesson that the best thing is to deal with a big and well known agency than with a small office one-person company.

Sincerely,

-K. R.
