45+ Years Criminal Defense
Experience in California
“I was arrested and charged with six felony counts and facing 34 years in state prison because of sexual child abuse accusations. A rape conviction would have required me to register as a sex offender for a lifetime. My lawyer fought the case from start to finish. During the course of my case, he managed to get thrown out key evidence from the prosecutor because it was unlawfully obtained. As a result, he was able to resolve my case on the third day of trial with no jail time and with all the rape charges dismissed! I can now rebuild my life thanks to the efforts of Wallin & Klarich.”

“I was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse, Penal Code Section 261.5 for having sex with a minor. Substantial evidence, including my confession, proved I committed the crime. The indicated sentence from the court if I plead guilty was 60 days in jail, registration as a sex offender, and four years of probation. Notably the sex registration is something I would have had to do every year for the rest of my life. In addition, finding a job and even buying a home would have been extremely difficult because of the possible harassment by police authorities. Therefore, I hired the law offices of Wallin & Klarich to represent me. Their attorneys are well acquainted with the District Attorneys and the judges for each court. They charged me a flat fee, and we continued to make court appearances until the District Attorney finally agreed to reduce my charges to a “disturbing the peace, Penal Code Section 415,” and I was sentenced to community service and informal probation. With this disposition I avoided having to register as a sex offender, as well as having a sex offense on my record. Also, I was not required to do any jail time. The efforts of the attorneys of Wallin & Klarich saved my life from being seriously and permanently affected. I would enthusiastically recommend them for any criminal matter.”

“Prior to retaining the services of Wallin & Klarich, I was convicted of statutory rape, which subjected me to automatic deportation. I retained the services of Wallin & Klarich to set aside conviction and to avoid deportation. The attorneys of Wallin & Klarich moved aggressively to present my case to the District Attorney and Judge. Wallin & Klarich successfully drafted and argued a Writ of Corum Nobis and Writ of Habeas Corpus, which led to the dismissal of all charges against me. Due to Wallin & Klarich’s superb legal knowledge, the District Attorney will not re-file any charges against me. Since there is no conviction on my record, the INS cannot initiate deportation proceedings against me. I am grateful to Wallin & Klarich for their advice and guidance. I highly recommend them to anyone facing a similar situation or any other criminal charge.”

“I was young and naïve and had sex with a girl that I went to school with. She had a boyfriend and when she was confronted by her parents about where she had been, she told them and the police that I had raped her. I was looking at being in custody for 10 years prior to retaining Wallin & Klarich. My WK attorney took over my case and put on a great defense for me. I was found “not guilty” and walked out of the courtroom a free man. Wallin & Klarich saved 10 years of my life and preserved my future.”

“My son was facing serious felony molestation charges in Juvenile Court. We hired a criminal defense attorney of the law firm of Wallin & Klarich to represent my son. It was a very long process, but my Wallin & Klarich attorney was with us throughout each step of the way. At the conclusion, my son avoided any time in custody and we were able to put this entire ordeal behind us. Thank you Wallin & Klarich for all of your help with my son’s case. We really appreciate it.”

“I was charged with violating California Penal Code Section 261.5 (b) – Unlawful Sexual Intercourse with a Person Under 18 (Statutory Rape). Matthew Wallin explained to me that I was facing a maximum of up to one-year in county jail. Matthew Wallin is a trustworthy, understanding, hardworking and very professional attorney who I would recommend to anybody. He was very knowledgeable about my case and represented me in court and keep me update with everything that was happening. I did not have to appear to court at any time. He did everything for the case and I was able to rely on him without having to worry about doing anything. He was able to get me the best outcome possible. I couldn’t be more happy with the work Matthew Wallin did for me and my family. I am so deeply satisfied with the ultimate outcome of a dismissal.”

“I received an OTHER THAN HONORABLE DISCHARGE from the Military as a result of a positive urinalysis while I was a reservist. This category of discharge effected my ability to get work and generally acted as a black mark on my record. As a result I hired the law offices of Wallin & Klarich who have a military attorney on staff. Wallin & Klarich proved to be very knowledgeable regarding requesting an upgrade in my discharge categorization. They filed the appropriate forms and submitted evidence with the forms to strengthen my case for an upgrade. I then appeared in front of a Discharge Review Board and before saying a word the board members informed me that based on the papers I submitted they were leaning very heavily toward granting my upgrade. A few weeds later I received the good news that my discharge was upgraded to HONORABLE DISCHARGE. Now I intend to sue the military for back wages. I am very grateful to the attorneys of Wallin & Klarich and would highly recommend them for any military legal matter.”

“Our son was looking at some serious time. He was looking at the California Youth Authority for escaping camp and for picking up a new offense. His lawyer at Wallin & Klarich was able to keep him from going to the CYA. He was also able to get his juvenile case terminated. We could not have asked for a better result. Wallin & Klarich are clearly the experts on juvenile law.”
-E. & A. P.
“Within 24 hours upon retaining the Law Office of Wallin & Klarich, my daughter was released from custody, with only probation time to serve. The Law Office of Wallin & Klarich are the best juvenile lawyers in all of San Bernardino County. Don’t take a chance with any other, it will only cost you more in the long run.”

“My son was facing a Petition to send my son to the California Youth Authority for 8 years and 8 months for allegedly violating camp rules by getting into two fights and violating gang terms. Our lawyer at Wallin & Klarich was able to get the case dismissed. No deals, no penalties. We could not have asked for a better result.”
