      Review David Wohl

      Orange County's Most Understanding and Trustworthy Juvenile Delinquency Attorney!

      Posted by

      Attorney David E. Wohl from Wallin & Klarich provided excellent representation during my current legal matter. I am still a teenager, and attorney Whol was able to understand me and show me that I was not alone. I made a very bad decision in life, but Mr. Wohl fought really hard to give me a second chance. I will always be thankful for all the effort he put in my case and for achieving the best possible result. I will recommend attorney Wohl and the law firm of Wallin & Klarich to any other teenager that is looking for a second chance in life. Thank you!

      Riverside County’s Best Defense Attorney

      Posted by

      Dave Wohl is a superb Defense Attorney who is well known within the Riverside Criminal Court system. This is very important for any defendant who is seeking a defense attorney who gets realistic results, in navigating through a strict Riverside Criminal court system. He met our family’s expectations, of getting our loved one released from custody, with realistic and attainable conditions. I highly recommend at least an initial consultation with Dave, before making any decision regarding a criminal case in Riverside county. He is truly doing the Lord's work!

      First Class Service With Results

      Posted by

      I was prevented from purchasing a firearm due to a felony on my record from 20 years ago for possession of marijuana. I contacted Attorney David Wohl and after a few phone calls, I hired him and he got my case dismissed. Mr. Wohl did exactly what he said he would and always answered or returned calls. He did not bill me for calls and kept to the agreed price. Mr Wohl provides first-class service and has extensive expertise in practicing law. I highly recommend Attorney David Wohl.

      Domestic violence case

      Posted by

      Attorney David Wohl represented me in a domestic violence case that held charges of two felonies at the time of filing. David did a great job in court and communicating with the DA and got my entire case dismissed with no charges. He did a great job.

      The Right man for the Job and someone who gave me my life back

      Posted by

      There is not enough good things and credit I can give this man. I have never ever been in trouble with the law in my life always done the right thing, even in college I am studying law. I get a terrible accusation made my way and I am at a loss not knowing what to do. Talk to a few attorneys and get David recommended to me he did not try to take advantage money wise and gave me a set and fair price. Throughout my whole ordeal day or night when I had a melt down David always assured me it would be ok and kept me informed calming me down. He told me to trust him and even though he is extremely busy always made sure I knew what was going on and got back to me in a timely manner. I can not thank this man enough for giving me my peace of mind and life back and reminding me why I myself want to get into legal work. He ended up getting me the best possible result with zero issues and much faster than what every other lawyer was telling me, a year long process, but with David it was done in 4 months. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you every step of the way, not sugar coat anything, and do his utmost to take care of you call and hire David Wohl. He is a lawyer that truly cares about the people he represents. Thank you David for everything.

      Best man to get you a fair sentence

      Posted by

      I was recently in some trouble in the federal courts due to an incident at a national park. I was quite afraid of my sentencing before finding David as I was facing federal jail time. Number one, David was the only person that did not try to take advantage of my inexperience and fear - he offered me a very fair price compared to the $15,000+ other lawyers told me it would cost. He also put my mind at ease, being realistic with what he suggested might happen in court vs the horror stories other attorneys I consulted with had shared. In the end, 2 of my 3 felonies were dropped and the third was dropped to a misdemeanor when I plead guilty to it. This was also due to actions I had taken to make necessary changes to better myself and my life before court, but I couldn't have done it without David. I would recommend him to anyone that is afraid they might be over punished for a mistake theyve made in life and would like to just move forward and make sure it never happens again.

      Great attorney

      Posted by

      The legal process can be very frustrating. Dave did an excellent job of representing my interests and ensuring the best possible outcome. He was able to negotiate a plea which was an acceptable outcome without having to go to trial.

      Expert in Securities Matters

      Posted by

      Mr. Wohl was hired to deal with a wide-ranging SEC investigation which I became aware of upon having been subpoenaed by the agency. From document production, to testimony and all other tasks related to the investigation, Mr. Wohl was professional, punctual and seemingly 5 steps ahead of the agency. I would recommend Mr. Wohl for anyone facing inquiries or investigations from the SEC or any other agency. The case was resolved successfully.

      Finding a trust worthy attorney can be difficult. David not only exceeds at what he specializes in but he deeply cares about his clients. I felt SAFE having David handle my case because I knew every decision he made was in my best interest. Going through the court process can be intimidating and David did everything he could to make me feel comfortable and protected. This reduced A LOT of my stress which allowed me to make some tough calls with ease. At the end of the day he was worth every penny and I highly recommend David and his team of experts. You will not be disappointed!

      Divorce can be difficult, along with divorce comes child custody, alimony, child support, and other legal forums that can change your life. When one is going through the process of emotions one can tend to get lost and lose focus. I did not want to lose focus, I called a trusted colleague and was referred to David. He kept in contact every step of the way, and handled my issues. Would highly recommend his services.
