Domestic Violence

“I would highly recommend Matt Wallin to anyone in need of a good criminal defense in Newport Beach. Along with his partners and investigators at the firm Wallin & Klarich, Matt Wallin was able to get my felony case (due to a domestic violence incident) dismissed prior to any charges being filed. This was particularly impressive given the amount of detail and complicated nature of the case. I faced the possibility of having 3 felony charges tried against me because of domestic violence, and the real possibility of spending significant time in Orange County jail or in California state prison. I am very pleased I hired Matt who was able to present my case to the DA and get the case rejected in the interest of justice before I ended up with anything on my record!”

“I am writing to let you know how impressed I was with the employees of Wallin & Klarich. From my initial phone call to your law firm, throughout both the civil and criminal trials, and a follow-up call to see how my son was doing after the verdict, your employees remained consistent in their ability to provide outstanding client support. Our assigned Wallin & Klarich attorney represented your firm with a professional and caring attitude. The attorney was always accessible, and he would always respond promptly to all of my questions and concerns.

As a parent going through such an emotional turmoil with my son and the domestic violence charges against him, I cant tell you how comforting it was to have a Wallin & Klarich staff member on the other end of the phone. At a time when both my son and I were confused and under great stress our Wallin & Klarich attorney was always extremely helpful. He kept us going and thinking positively. He always reassured me that the Wallin & Klarich law firm was on our side and was there for us.

I have been a manger and worked in the human resources department for over thirty years at several different companies, including law firms. I have had an opportunity to hire and work with hundreds of employees. I wanted you to know that Wallin & Klarich staff members stood out to me. The staff members that assisted us are intelligent, cooperative, professional and courteous. Their public relations skills are unsurpassed and they have the ability to offer unwavering support during very stressful times. Thank you for all your help.”

“I was going through a terrible dispute with my girlfriend. She was alleging that I physically and psychologically abused her. I hired the law offices of Wallin & Klarich and they assigned an attorney to handle my case. My Wallin & Klarich attorney was able to prove to the district attorney and the judge that the allegations were false and got the case completely dismissed. If you are ever in need of an attorney that will fight for you, I would recommend Wallin & Klarich to handle your matter.”

“I was arrested for allegedly hitting my wife, I had a prior charge for the same count, and I was facing jail time. I hired Wallin & Klarich to represent me. My attorney fought the case hard for me, and he never once tried to get me to plead guilty. Thanks to his help the case was entirely dismissed! No Jail, No classes, and no probation, Wallin & Klarich are the best!”

“I had a horrible history of domestic violence. When I was young, I was quick to get angry and was unable to control myself. I was convicted of Felony domestic violence 7 years ago. I served a year in jail and did my anger management counseling for 18 months. I really learned to manage my temper and to take steps to prevent any further violence. Unfortunately, my ex-wife knew about my past, and she had taunted me over the years that she could send me back to jail with a phone call, and that nobody would believe a word from a former felon. Well, that nightmare came true. She made good on her threats and called the police and lied to them alleging that I beat her. She wanted to punish me for leaving her for another woman. When we went to court, no one believed me. No one except my attorney. He advised me that I was facing a year in jail. We took the matter to trail, where the prosecutor attempted to use my prior conviction from 7 years ago to prove that I was guilty of the charges I was facing. My attorney was able to bring out the true story and more importantly, the motives my ex-wife had to lie to the police and to convince my own kids to testify against me. The jury didn’t buy any of it. They voted 12-0 finding me not guilty. I thank my attorney from Wallin & Klarich for all his efforts and for allowing me to have my life back.”

“I was accused of felony domestic violence with injury, and I was facing up to three years in state prison. The attorneys of Wallin & Klarich moved aggressively to present my case in the best light to the court and negotiate with the District Attorney. In the end my felony domestic violence charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. The punishment I received consisted of a domestic violence class and 40 hours of community service. A far cry from the punishment I initially faced! In addition, I was soon reunited with my family. Without the expert advice and guidance of Wallin & Klarich I could have lost my job, my home and my family. I am grateful to Wallin & Klarich for their help.”

“I was facing domestic violence charges, and a domestic violence conviction would ruin my chances of becoming a United States Citizen. I contacted the law offices of Wallin & Klarich and they quickly contacted the prosecutor’s office. Wallin & Klarich arranged a pre-filing hearing with the prosecutor’s office, so we could resolve this issue without going to court. A hearing was set and Wallin & Klarich convinced the prosecutor not to file any charges against me in exchange for completing a short counseling program. Once I completed the program, the case was dismissed and I will not have a domestic violence conviction on my record. Now, I can become a United States Citizen thanks to Wallin & Klarich.”

“When I was arrested for domestic violence I felt like everyone was against me. They all wanted to send me to jail without even hearing my side of the story until I retained Wallin & Klarich to represent me. My attorney was the only person that listened to me and believed in me. We took the matter to trial where my attorney vigorously cross-examined witnesses and finally presented my side of the story. They jury took only one hour to return a unanimous verdict of Not Guilty. I would like to thank Wallin & Klarich for their outstanding representation.”

“I would like to thank Wallin & Klarich for their incredible representation defending me against the criminal charges I was facing for Domestic Violence. When I was wrongfully charged with Domestic Violence, I did not know where to turn. All I knew was that I was facing serious charges because of my prior conviction. I had changed so much since my prior conviction, but since it was on my record, I was looking at serious jail time. Wallin & Klarich fought the case from day one. We took the matter to a jury trial where my Wallin & Klarich attorney cross-examined all the witnesses and brought out the truth. The jury saw the truth and voted 12 – 0 Not Guilty. Thanks to Wallin & Klarich, I can move on and put this nightmare behind me.”

“I was involved in a domestic incident with my girlfriend, which put our child in danger. I hired the offices of Wallin & Klarich to represent me. In the very first pre-trial the lawyers of Wallin & Klarich presented my case to the District Attorney and the Judge and the case was dismissed the same day. I believe that the familiarity Wallin & Klarich attorneys have with their particular court was instrumental in the very quick and outstanding result in my case. I would enthusiastically recommend them for any and all criminal matters.”

“I was charged with spousal abuse against my girlfriend. Because I was on parole, I faced a parole violation as well as up to one year in jail.

“I was arrested for domestic violence. My girlfriend was alleging that I pushed her, so I decided to hire the law offices of Wallin & Klarich. My attorney from Wallin & Klarich set the case for trial as the District Attorney did not have any evidence against me. On the day of trial, the District Attorney conceded to my attorney and offered me a 415 (disturbing the peace) as an infraction. This is similar to a speeding ticket. The domestic violence case was dismissed against me. I was facing up to 6 months in county jail and without the services of Wallin & Klarich, I could have gone to jail and lost everything I have ever worked for. I would recommend Wallin & Klarich to you if you ever need a criminal defense attorney that will fight for you.”
