Child Facing Jail Time Allowed to Serve Sentence in Home Confinement

“My child was facing jail time even after completing over 15 months of drug rehabilitation classes. We were not trying to avoid his punishment, but rather we were trying to have our 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 my child’s efforts to improve his life. Going into jail for an extended period of time would only regress his progress already achieved through therapy. Unfortunately, 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, or for the drastic change in his life style. 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 moment’s notice. My attorney showed us compassion and understanding. He treated us with respect and dignity. He passionately presented our argument to the court. After being refuted several times by the uncompromising District Attorney’s Office, my attorney did not back down. He zealously argued our case to the Court. Even when we felt that nothing else could be done, my attorney had a positive attitude and gave us hope.

As a result, the Judge was compelled by my attorney’s arguments and granted my child leave to complete her punishment under home supervision. My attorney made the necessary arguments to the court when it counted most. Thanks to Wallin & Klarich my child will not be in the harsh environment of jail. I enthusiastically recommend the attorneys at Wallin & Klarich to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.”
