Harold Wallin’s reviews

Where do I begin... I’ve been dealing with Harold for a long time since I have 3 dui’s. He not only kept me out of jail, but he kept me with a driving permit and now my full license. He’s goes to bat for you and makes the impossible, possible. I would recommend him to anyone. He set me up with everything I needed to be successful.

In April of 2019, a nightmare happened in my life. I was at a bar having drinks with my friends celebrating the life of a former classmate that passed away unfortunately. Next thing I knew I was being awakened by the police because I fell asleep behind the wheel of my car with my foot on the break at an intersection. I was arrested and charged with a DUI and a violation of my Conceal Carry license having my firearm with me in the car. I was so humiliated and feared losing my Driver's License. It was a difficult time for me I had never been in trouble before in my life. I was very afraid of what could happen. Harold Wallin was referred to me by a close friend that went through a DUI charge. I can't use enough words to express my appreciation for this man. He helped me by getting me Supervision and he saved my Driver's License from being suspended. A suspension meant automatic suspension from State employment, pending discharge. Mr. Wallin was honest, calm and cool, very knowledgeable, professional, and he charged a very fair fee. Not only that, his responses to my emails and texts were timely. Yes, texts! He is very personable and reminded me of court dates and his status through is phone. This meant everything to me because his communication gave me the confidence I needed to know that my case was in the right hands and that he was trustworthy. Being afraid of the potential outcome of my life, this simple, yet huge gesture made me feel like my issue mattered to him. I would recommend Mr. Wallin to anyone looking for the right attorney for their DUI case. You MUST hire the professional that knows what he is doing, and this is Harold Wallin! The man is so cool and calm it rubs off on you to know all will be ok. Unfortunately, he could not save me from a conviction of violation of my Conceal Carry License, although he tried exceedingly. I can't even complain, I had to take that one on the chin. That became the least of my concerns after getting supervision. I made a bad choice and it changed my life. Very happy I had Mr. Wallin in my corner! Do NOT hire anyone else but Mr. Wallin. I promise you will not go wrong!

Mr Wallin did an amazing job on my DUI case. He answered every call and question I had, and explained the legal aspects of my case to me in a way I could understand. I highly recommend Mr Wallin for any of your legal needs.

I have been hiring Harold for since 2016 and he was referred to me by a family member. He has gotten me a off on two separate trials, one for battery and the other was DUI, not to mention represented me in successfully gaining a restricted drivers license. Does not nickel and dime and is far from lazy, and more importantly is a tirelessly diligent attorney whom I am very thankful for.

Gave me right directions and comments from his past experiences which took away my nervousness!

I received a "must-appear" traffic ticket on a one-day trip to Chicago, and couldn't appear in court on the day assigned without completely ruining my summer vacation. I contacted Mr. Wallin on my cell phone, and within minutes - while he was actually in the court building waiting for another case - we had electronically exchanged all the evidence he needed, his fee payment, an escrow payment for estimated court fees and fines and a link to print out my plea and have it notarized. In the end, I got back $100 of the estimated fine, all for much less than it would have cost to fly to Chicago simply to appear at my court date. Very happy with the way this turned out!

Mr. Wallin was very professional in handling my case. He provided me with free consultation and an outlook on what I needed to do to help myself make the best case before even hiring him as my lawyer. I moved forward with him because I knew he had the insight to help win my case as he did. I beat a revoaked license, no insurance, and obidence to peace officer because of him. Hire him if you want positive results!

If you are in the unfortunate situation of being charged with a DUI (and doubly so in a case like mine where you made the terrible choice to drink and drive for a “2nd time”), you need not look further than Harold Wallin as one of the best choices for an attorney to represent you. I admit that after he cleared me completely of a DUI conviction several years ago, I was dumb enough to let it happen again in my life. That being said, I did not even think twice about hiring Harold immediately with my second DUI charge. Right away he was able to save my license from being suspended for six months under the Statutory Summary Suspension. Now being that I had tested a little over .08 BAC this time (and again that it was my 2nd time being charged), I knew this likely was not going to have the same outcome as my 1st case. But in the end Harold was able to have my case reduced to a reckless driving charge with the 12 month supervision period. I do strongly feel that I may not have had such favorable results with a different lawyer. Harold is a quality and affordable attorney who knows all the ins and outs of the legal system. He is very prompt, courteous, and treats his clients with utmost professionalism. From my experience I can definitely say that you are in great hands with Harold Wallin.

Mr. Harold L. Wallin was contacted by me to find out if he would take an out of state DUI. I lived in Chicago when I got the DUI, but I moved out of state due to family emergency. Mr. H.L. Wallin took the case and gave me guidelines to follow. I followed instructions and what I did comprehend he explained clearly. He was patient and empathy. I was able to get my license reinstated due to his excellent professional knowledge.

Harold handled my case expertly; every recommendation he made had a positive impact on the result. When the prosecutor even points out that, "you hired the right attorney,' you know you are working with an experienced and savvy counselor. He was responsive to all communication and led the proceedings to the best conclusion as we set out the defense. I won't be hiring him again, but only as I have no intention of having this happen a second time. However, I would make Harold my first choice if I was in need. Hands down, a superb job by a calm and confident attorney.
