"Fearless. Street smart. Knowledgeable. Talented. John is the complete package. Well-known and respected by state and federal judges, prosecutors, the criminal defense bar and police, John knows the "system" and can put together the best defense for his clients. Whether what will serve a client best is a complex trial, working out a plea, an appeal, or post-conviction applications, John has the ability to do it all."
"John Wallenstein is a very fine criminal defense attorney. He works hard for his clients and often obtains great results for them. Mr. Wallenstein is a highly experienced and careful advocate. I recommend Mr. Wallenstein without reservation."
"John is an attorney I have watched practice for years now. His intelligence is remarkable, but his care for others sets him apart from many of the lawyers I have encountered. He works in the trial courts but possess mastery over the delicate and complicated work of appeals as well. You would be hard pressed to find a better advocate for you than John."
