45+ Years Criminal Defense
Experience in California
“Wow! What a result! On April 5, 2000 I was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and a second time DUI. I was facing the possibility of having to register as a narcotics offender, to serve jail time, to complete a lengthy 18-month alcohol program, and to install a breathalyzer device in my car. However, because I had great representation from my Wallin & Klarich lawyer, I was able to get my drug case thrown out and my prior DUI stricken. Thus, I avoided any jail whatsoever! I am pleased with Wallin & Klarich for keeping me out of jail. You guys are fantastic!”

“I was arrested for being under the influence of narcotics. My job as a truck driver was on jeopardy. Any jail time could have cost me my job, especially because it was my second case. My attorney was able to resolve the case with no jail. I am very pleased with the result Wallin & Klarich got for me. They kept me out of jail and saved my job.”

“I was facing three serious drug charges out of Whittier. The most aggravating about my situation was that I had previously been given diversion on an earlier case. Thus, I was facing a full year in county jail. Wallin & Klarich was able to work out a deal to get me into another diversion program that allowed me to keep the great job that I have. Thank you Wallin & Klarich!”

“Wallin & Klarich attorneys are the best. I was facing two serious felony possession charges, and I received a treatment program only and no prison time. Due to their tremendous efforts, I have been given the chance to turn my life around. Thank you Wallin & Klarich with all my heart.”

“I am writing to thank you for all you’ve done to help me. I was charged with possession for sale. To make matters worse, I had a prior conviction of the same offense. My old lawyer just kept asking for more money, and the best he could do for me was was to reduce my sentence to 4 years in state prison. Even though I had a serious felony prior, Wallin & Klarich was able to get me to qualify for the Early Disposition Program. At the hearing, Wallin & Klarich showed the prosecutors that this case actually merits half of what they were asking for. Thanks to Wallin & Klarich I have 2 more years added to my life. My sentence was only for 2 years. Thanks.”

“I had two warrants for me from nearly 3 years ago. I failed to go through with my drug programs because of numerous personal reasons. I talked to other attorneys and they told me that I was looking at six months of jail time. Then, I came in and talked to Wallin & Klarich, and they told me the hard facts. The judge would most likely give me a good chunk of jail time. However, my attorney must have been awesome in court. I was reinstated in my program and received no jail time. Thank you Wallin & Klarich.”

“The police arrested me for possession of 4 ounces of heroin and for other illegal drug violations. The District Attorney charged me with possession and transportation of heroin for the purpose of sale and for possession of Cocaine for the purpose of sale as well. I was facing a minimum of three years in state prison, and my total exposure on all the charges was a maximum of 17 years in state prison. However, the law offices of Wallin & Klarich negotiated with the District Attorney and managed to get the transportation charge against me dismissed. In addition, they were able to amend the possession for sale charges to a straight possession. Due to the outstanding representation of Wallin & Klarich, I was eligible for a drug program and released from custody. My co-defendant, who was represented by the public defender, and who did not even have any drugs on him at the time of the arrest, went to state prison for three years. The District Attorney could have very easily prosecuted me for the alleged crimes and sent me to state prison as well. The familiarity the Wallin & Klarich attorneys have with each court combined with their aggressive representation resulted very favorable in my case. Wallin & Klarich attorneys definitely know how to achieve the best result for their clients, and I would highly recommend their representation in any criminal matter.”

” The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department came to my father’s house in response to an anonymous tip of large amounts of drugs being sold there. They indicated that they were there for a different reason and gained access to my house without consent. Then, they proceed to ask for consent to search once they were inside the residence. Consent was never given despite what they write in their police report. The search revealed nothing. However, the officer kept searching. I was later arrested and handcuffed for allegedly being under the influence. A search on one trailer on the property revealed drugs. I hired an attorney, and he wanted to take a plea bargain. I fired him and hired Wallin & Klarich to represent me instead. Wallin & Klarich argued with the District Attorney that no consent was ever given; therefore, the cops violated my fourth amendment right. The District Attorney did not agree, so Wallin & Klarich ran a 1538.5 motion to suppress in front of the Judge. The Judge agreed that the initial entry into the house was based on trickery and false information. Thus, if there was consent, it was NOT VALID. In addition, since I was placed under arrest, any consent given is not valid because it is not free and voluntary. The case was dismissed because Wallin & Klarich fought to protect my rights by running that motion. Wallin & Klarich attorneys do not give up when fighting for their clients, and they analyze every alternative to achieve the best possible result for their clients.”

“I was facing state prison time for possession of methamphetamine. I had a prior strike and needed the representation of a great attorney with experience and knowledge pertaining to my case. Thus, I hired Wallin & Klarich to handle my case. Due to my prior strike, the court was required to double my sentence. I was facing years in state prison! Fortunately for me, Wallin & Klarich has attorneys who specialize in each court.They stood by me during every step of the process. I was represented by the attorney most familiar with that specific court, the Judges, and the District Attorneys. The attorneys at Wallin & Klarich filed the appropriate motions and made the necessary arguments to the court and in the end my prior crime was stricken. I received credit for time served, and I was released. Without the knowledge pertaining to the possession of methamphetamine and the hard work of Wallin & Klarich, I would be in state prison today. I enthusiastically recommend Wallin & Klarich attorneys to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.”

“I was charged with three felonies: possession for sales, transportation, and cultivation of marijuana. Due to the persistence of Wallin & Klarich, all charges were dismissed against me. I am grateful to Wallin & Klarich and would recommend them to anyone else who is facing criminal charges.”
