Sentence Modification

“My child was facing jail time even after completing over 15 months of drug rehabilitation classes. We were not trying to avoid punishment, but simply letting my child do the time in a safe environment such as home or a charitable organization. The only way to avoid incarceration was to convince the Court that jail time would be unfair and severe considering the effort my child had gone through to improve. Going into jail for an extended period would only regress the progress that my child achieved through therapy. Unfortunately for me, the Court would not even talk to me unless a District Attorney was involved in the process. Frankly, the District Attorney’s Office had no consideration for my child’s improvement and complete reversal of lifestyle. They were not willing to listen. They made me feel like my child was just another conviction statistic and they showed us no mercy.

Fortunately, Wallin & Klarich took my child’s case at a moments notice. Our attorney showed us compassion and understanding. He treated us with respect and dignity. He passionately made our argument to the court. After being refuted several times by the uncompromising District Attorney’s Office, our attorney did not back down. He zealously argued our case to the Court. Even when we felt that nothing else could be done, our attorney had a positive attitude and gave us hope.

As a result, at each stage of the process of negotiation I was being represented by an attorney that was professional and experienced with court procedure and negotiation tactics. The Judge was compelled by our attorney’s arguments and granted my child leave to complete her punishment under home supervision. Our attorney made the necessary arguments to the court when it counted most. If not for him, my child would be in the harsh environment of jail. I enthusiastically recommend the attorney’s at Wallin & Klarich to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.”
