The Best Possible Outcome!

I was charged with possession of a deadly weapon and was facing significant jail time. Unfortunately, I had some prior criminal convictions and was concerned that I would actually serve some jail time. I contacted the law firm Wallin & Klarich and attorney Christopher Lee represented me in my case. ...Mr. Lee understood my concerns and was very attentive to my case. He returned all my phone calls and emails and discussed at length my case and how he was going to attack the prosecution's case. In the end, Mr. Lee was able to convince the DA to make a no jail time offer. In fact, I was only required to do 3 days of freeway cleanup as a condition of my plea. I was very fortunate to have Mr. Lee as my attorney as I was able to continue to go to work and not have to surrender myself to serve a jail sentence.

Amazing lawyer!!

Paul Wallin, a simple thank you can’t possibly express how much I appreciated your hard work, professionalism and unwavering dedication to my case. I was accused of felony drug possession and driving while on a suspended license. I knew the district attorney was pushing for 3 years state prison bec...ause of the seriousness of the offenses and my prior criminal record. You first explained to me my rights and protections under the constitution, particularly the Fourth Amendment and how these rights applied to my case. The motion to suppress evidence you drafted was powerful and well-written. The judge and district attorney must have agreed because BOTH CHARGES WERE DISMISSED. Words cannot express the appreciation and relief I felt being able to walk freely out of the courthouse with my Mom and kids. This is all thanks to Paul Wallin's dedication and understanding of the law. I would highly recommend the legal services of Wallin & Klarich to anyone who wants an attorney there every step of the way, fighting to protect their rights and freedom.

Saved me from serving prison time! Extremely Grateful!

I had a prior strike on my record for a felony conviction from over 10 years ago. I was arrested and charged with a felony charge for a domestic violence incident. The district attorney charged me with an offense, which if convicted, would be another strike on my record. I was represented by the p...ublic defender, and told to take an offer that included another strike and a prison sentence. I didn't want to serve a prison service so I contacted Wallin & Klarich to see if they could help. I meet with attorney Paul Wallin. After retaining Wallin & Klarich to take over my case, Paul Wallin evaluated my case with me, and explained in great detail the strengths and weaknesses of my case. With Paul Wallin's extraordinary help, my charge was eventually reduced to a misdemeanor, and I didn’t serve any prison time or suffer another strike on my record. I am extremely grateful for Paul Wallin's help when I was in a horrible situation and I need someone to fix it. I highly recommend to anyone who is in severe trouble or any kind of legal trouble. He is really great!

Excellent Attorney!!

I was charged with three separate violations of driving on a suspended license due to a previous driving under the influence charge and three probation violations. Each of these charges require a minimum of 30 days in jail. In addition I was concerned about being on probation at the time of my new of...fenses. I was also 7 months pregnant when I went to court. I did not want to have my baby in jail. I hired the Wallin & Klarich Law firm to help me. My attorney Paul Wallin went to court, and worked out a negotiation which included everything and in addition allowed me to apply for and receive an alternate sentence of electronic home monitoring instead of having to go to jail. I am eternally grateful for the work of Paul Wallin. I would recommend him to anyone charged with any criminal matter.”

My Testimony

Several months ago my husband and I were horrified when child protective services filed a petition against us in the juvenile court and were threatening to remove our children from our home. I did not know where to turn for legal help. I was fortunate enough to be able to do my research and then ...retain Wallin and Klarich, and the senior partner of the law firm, Paul Wallin personally handled my case. When you are threatened with having your children taken from you, emotions run high and I was in great fear that I could lose my children. I am extremely fortunate that I was able to find Paul Wallin to represent me. From the outset he explained exactly how the court system works and what we would have to do to be able to have the case terminated. He was able to speak to key witnesses and have them provide critical letters to the court on my behalf. He was then able to convince the court and all counsel that my case should be terminated. More importantly during this extremely stressful time I would send Mr. Wallin emails on a regular basis. Many of these emails were sent late at night and on weekends. I was shocked that Mr. Wallin would respond to my emails even on weekends and after hours. He was able to explain things to me clearly and to calm me down throughout the legal process. I would strongly recommend Paul Wallin if you are ever in need of a lawyer who will provide you with excellent legal representation and also if you are looking for a lawyer who will be both compassionate and will communicate with you on a regular basis.
