45+ Years Criminal Defense
Experience in California
I was involved in a traffic collision and was arrested a few hours later at my house with the officer claiming that I was driving under the influence of alcohol. I had exchanged information with the party involved and over an hour later she decides that she feels I had been drinking and calls the police. The DMV wanted to suspend my license for 1 year because I was under 21 years of age. I hired Wallin and Klarich to represent me with this DMV matter. My Wallin & Klarich attorney conducted many hearings with the DMV and is known by the Driver Safety Hearing Officers. The attorney argued several issues with the DMV Officer including no probable cause for the contact at my home, and the Officer could not establish the time of driving which is required under Title 17. The hearing officer rendered a favorable decision and my license has been reinstated with no action against it. Wallin and Klarich saved me from having my license suspended for 1 year by the DMV. If you are ever in need of an attorney, I would highly recommend you hire Wallin and Klarich. They will fight for you!

“I was charged with driving under the influence; my blood alcohol level was a 0.19, which is over twice the legal limit. I hired the LAW OFFICES OF Wallin & Klarich to defend me in the court matter and for the DMV hearing. I learned that while the court could have restricted my license for 90 days, the DMV could have suspended it for up to 5 months, which means that I would NOT be permitted to drive for any purpose because of the potential DMV hearing result. This would have been a disaster for me since my job requires that I drive every day. As such I needed an experienced attorney to represent me with the DMV and with the court. I hired WALLIN & KLAIRCH because of their experience with DMV and DUI matters. My Wallin & Klarich attorney attended the hearing without my being present; a few days later I received a letter saying that the action against me had been SET ASIDE, meaning that I had won the hearing and my license would NOT be suspended despite my 0.19 blood alcohol level. I truly believe that the experience Wallin & Klarich attorneys have in DMV and DUI matters. which makes up the majority of their practice, made the difference in my case and helped me keep my job.”

“I had a 0.25 Blood alcohol level test result. Yet my attorney was able to show that I had a rising blood alcohol level and was able to get the enhancement charged dismissed. Terrific result!”

“I was arrested for a DUI with enhancement penalties. My attorney at Wallin & Klarich was able to get all the enhancements stricken to avoid any mandatory jail. I am impressed.”

“When I went to your office, I was looking at some serious jail time. I had two prior DUI convictions and was facing my third in front of an especially tough Judge in Whittier. I was told that I would be spending at least 6 months in jail. I am a person with special needs and could not survive that long in jail. I also had to take care of my ailing father. Thanks to Wallin & Klarich, I was able to serve only 4 months and do so at my house on house arrest. This allowed me to take care of my father and go to work. Thank you for all your efforts.”

“I was charged with driving under the influence when driving from Las Vegas to California. I am a lieutenant in the Navy and was immediately sent to sea; however, prior to leaving I hired the law firm of Wallin & Klarich. While at sea, my attorney and I communicated from email aboard my ship and we were able to discuss my case extensively. I knew that a conviction for a DUI would jeopardize my career in the military especially because I caused an automobile accident as well. On my own initiative and with the help of my attorney I started alcohol programs aboard the ship and obtained letters of recommendation and a brief history of my life. My attorney was able to argue with the DA and eliminate jail time and a DUI charge and eventually get a charge reduced. The reduced charge will allow me to live and continue working as an officer in the armed forces without a court martial or obstructing my career goals.”

“I was arrested for a DUI with injury from a traffic collision. I sought the services of Wallin & Klarich for representation. My Wallin & Klarich attorney was assigned to handle my case. Because this incident involved alcohol and injuries, I was facing a felony charge which could have placed me in state prison. My blood alcohol level came back at 0.06%. My Wallin & Klarich attorney had my blood re-tested and it came back to 0.05%. Prior to my court date, my Wallin & Klarich attorney was able to get the charges against me filed as a Misdemeanor. Once in court, my Wallin & Klarich attorney negotiated with the District Attorney to get the DUI with Accident charge dismissed. They were able to get the charge reduced to a wet-reckless. I did not have to serve one day in jail. I would recommend the services of Wallin & Klarich to anyone in need of an attorney who will fight for them.”

“I had four open DUI’s, one could have been a felony. I am thankful for the services of Wallin & Klarich. I was very happy with the services provided and would recommend the law firm of Wallin & Klarich to anyone else in my position.”
-T. B.
“I am writing this letter to thank you for your great effort on my behalf. I was charged with a DUI and an accident and to make things worse, with an allegation that I refused a blood alcohol test. Wallin & Klarich worked hard on my case. I was looking at 45 days in the county jail, but my Wallin & Klarich attorney was able to talk to the prosecutors and expose the weaknesses of their case. In turn, the prosecutors finally agreed that the case merited NO JAIL TIME. Not having to go to jail for that long, saved me my job and my family. Thanks Wallin & Klarich.”

“My husband was arrested for a DUI for having a 0.15 BAC. He was being charged with a 2nd time DUI offense, looking at mandatory jail, a lengthy 18-month alcohol program and stiff fines. His lawyer George Kita filed a MOTION TO SUPRESS all evidence seized as a result of an ILLEGAL TRAFFIC STOP. He WON the motion! No fines, No jail and No alcohol school. My family and I thank Wallin & Klarich.”
