45+ Years Criminal Defense
Experience in California
“I was arrested for possession of Methamphetamine while on probation. The maximum sentence was four years in prison and a minimum sentence of two years eight months in prison. The attorneys of Wallin & Klarich moved aggressively to present my case to the District Attorney and Judge. I received diversion and my case will be dismissed after 18 months. I am grateful to WK for their advice and guidance. I would recommend them highly to anyone facing a similar situation or any other criminal charge.”

“I would like to tell you that I really appreciate the work my attorney did on my case. My wife had been haunted for years by a very serious crime in her past. She had been arrested for possession of a controlled substance for sale. It was my understanding that the minimum sentence for this charge is to spend some time in State Prison. Years had passed since the date of her arrest, but nothing had been resolved. My wife was still facing punishment for a crime she did not commit. My attorney was able to work with the prosecutors and reveal the weaknesses in the case against my wife. My attorney subsequently brought the motion in court and had the charges completely dismissed.”

“I was arrested and charged with various felony drug crimes and one count of disorderly conduct. I was facing the possibility of going to prison. Therefore, after searching for law firms with experience in drug cases, I hired Wallin & Klarich to assist me with my case. My attorney was able to negotiate with the district attorney and get the disorderly conduct charge and several drug charges dismissed. In addition, my attorney was able to get me into PC1000, a drug program, that enables me to keep this charge off my record if I successfully complete the program. I would recommend the services of Wallin & Klarich if you are in need of an experienced criminal defense attorney who knows the local courts.”

“After being caught in an undercover sting operation, I was charged with four criminal counts including: providing liquor to a minor, possession of alcohol while under 21, possession of open container while driving, and unlawful use of an identification card. I was 18 years old at the time. These charges normally mandate a driver’s license suspension and can involve jail time, but my Wallin & Klarich attorney was able to get all charges dismissed and I was ordered to complete an alcohol education class.”

I was accused of a misdemeanor because of the unauthorized possession of a syringe that contained Methamphetamine. Due to my prior convictions, which caused me to go to State Prison, I was ineligible for any drug programs. I was facing about 90 days or more of jail time. The attorneys of Wallin & Klarich moved aggressively and filed a motion to suppress evidence because the search that led the police to find the syringe was illegal. On the day the matter was set for hearing on the motion. After the district attorney examined my attorney’s arguments, he decided to dismiss the case. I paid only $50.00 in costs without even going to a hearing! I am truly grateful for the attorneys of Wallin & Klarich. Without their expert advice and guidance, I could have been incarcerated and placed on 3 years of probation. I would recommend them highly to anyone facing a similar situation or any criminal charge.

I want to thank you for your excellent representation in my probation violation matter. When I called your office for advice, I was facing almost guaranteed jail time on probation violations for my drug possession convection. Due to my attorney’s excellent representation at the probation violation hearing, I was not sentenced to jail time, and I was ordered to complete a drug program instead. The judge said that without the assistance from my Wallin & Klarich attorney, I would have gone to jail that day. Thank you Wallin & Klarich for representing me, keeping me out of jail, and helping me geting my life back on track.

I am writing to talk about our experience with Wallin & Klarich. We are extremely thankful for the outstanding legal representation your firm provided for our son, S.H.E.
Last week we were in the Bakersfield Superior Court before Judge Stuart. The District Attorney claimed that SH should be sent to jail for up to one year on a felony drug charge. Your Wallin & Klarich attorney worked diligently for months, traveled back and forth to Ridgecrest, CA on many occasions to represent SH, and he put together an outstanding sentencing memorandum for the judge’s review urging the judge to sentence SH to time served and probation. Additionally, every phone call we placed with questions was always answered with a prompt response. Your Wallin & Klarich attorney took time and patience to explain the process and what we could expect.
What I want to pass on to you is Judge Stuart’s comment about your Wallin & Klarich attorney’s presentation:
“In my 23 years sitting on the bench, this is the most concise, informative, and well documented sentencing memorandum I have ever seen. Than youk Wallin & Klarich attorney.” The judge sentenced SH to time served and probation.
Without our Wallin & Klarich attorney’s attention to detail and his knowledge in this particular case, SH would not have received a sentence of time served and probation. After the sentencing hearing, the probation officer repeated three different times, within a 20-minute period, that we had witnessed a miracle. That miracle was due to our Wallin & Klarich attorney’s excellent defense.
Your attorneys representation exceeded our expectations! We are grateful for all of his hard work and his commitment to SH. Paul Wallin promised me that Wallin & Klarich would provide the best representation, and our Wallin & Klarich attorney ensured Mr. Wallin’s promise was kept.

When we needed a law firm to assist our daughter who was facing a serious drug offense, we didn’t know where to turn. Wallin & Klarich provided the professional legal representation and extraordinary guidance that helped my daughter overcome this challenge. I want to take time to thank all the staff at Wallin & Klarich Law Firm for your incredible support and consistent assistance during this very difficult time. Good to know that our family can rely on your group of professionals, whose resources are diligently dispensed in a timely manner. Thank you for successfully resolving my daughter’s case and for providing exceptional legal support. You have done an excellent job, and I highly recommend your services to anyone going through what our family went through.

My son was charged with two felonies, (1) felony drug charge (possession for sale) and (2) felony weapon charge (possession of an assault weapon). Based on the severity of the charges and my son’s extensive criminal record, it appeared an extended state prison sentence was inevitable. My son was facing up to 6 years in state prison.
My sister informed me about the Southern California criminal defense law firm of Wallin and Klarich and their many years of experience providing outstanding representation to their clients facing serious felony charges.
The prosecutor aggressively pursued the charges against my son. However, my Wallin and Klarich attorney immediately jumped into action and developed a strategy to defend my son against both charges. Wallin and Klarich conducted extensive research on assault weapons, consulted with weapon and drug experts, and thoroughly investigated each and every legal avenue in our defense.
After a tremendous amount of work and diligent representation, Wallin and Klarich did the impossible for my son. My Wallin and Klarich attorney kept my son from going to prison, and he aggressively negotiated a DISMISSAL of all charges. The felony assault weapon charge was dismissed outright before the preliminary hearing. Just as remarkably, the felony drug charge will be dismissed as soon as my son completes the drug treatment stated under Proposition 36.
The extraordinary relief and the overwhelming weight lifted off of our shoulders cannot be described. We have Wallin and Klarich to thank for this. I would highly recommend the criminal defense firm of Wallin and Klarich to anyone who needs personal attention, diligent representation, and outstanding results.

My Wallin & Klarich attorney:
A simple “thank you” can’t possibly express how much I appreciate your hard work, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to my case. I was accused of felony drug possession and driving while on a suspended license. I knew the district attorney was pushing for 3 years in state prison because of the seriousness of the offenses combined with my prior criminal record. You explained to me my rights and protections under the constitution and how the Fourth Amendment applied to my case. The motion you drafted to suppress evidence was powerful and explicitly written. The judge and district attorney must have agreed with your arguments because BOTH CHARGES WERE DISMISSED. Words cannot express the appreciation and relief I felt as I freely walked out of the courthouse with my Mom and kids. This is all thanks to my Wallin & Klarich attorney’s dedication and knowledge of the law pertaining to my case. I highly recommend the legal services of Wallin & Klarich to anyone who wants an attorney to stand by his or her side every step of the way to arduously fight to protect his or her rights and freedom.
-RJ
