This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Top-Tier Legal Professionals You Can Fully Trust

I’m truly grateful for the outstanding legal service provided by Wallin & Klarich. Jonathan, Paul Wallin, and Katherine are among the most professional and trustworthy attorneys I’ve ever worked with. They are not only highly knowledgeable and experienced, but also communicate promptly and clearly,... making the entire process smooth and easy to understand. From the very beginning, they patiently answered all my questions, explained every step in detail, and made sure I always knew what to expect next. Their dedication and professionalism gave me peace of mind—I barely had to worry about anything because they had everything under control. What impressed me the most was their respect and empathy. I never felt like just another client; I felt genuinely cared for. That level of service is rare and truly appreciated. If you’re looking for a legal team that is reliable, professional, efficient, and genuinely has your best interest at heart, I highly recommend Wallin & Klarich. Their support meant so much to me—thank you for your incredible work!

No one better to handle your case

I won't go into details, but I will say that Jonathan took excellent care of me! He was compassionate, while remaining professional, and straight forward. In legal situations, my personal experience, I needed serious guidance. I couldn't make heads or tails of all the paperwork for my case. So having... someone knowledgeable, and easy to get a hold of was key! And I thoroughly appreciated it. I would highly recommend him!

Above and Beyond My Expectations

And, I did not even have to show my face but wow is this law firm (Wallin & Klarich) is/are amazing at their jobs. They (Wallin & Klarich) not only did what I asked them to do for me, they somehow made things much better for my life getting my entire issue lessoned to a misdemeanor. i am amazed and h...onestly, if you need this type of legal work in the Los Angeles area, this law firm is the call. Like I said, what I thought was getting done was exceeded by leaps and bounds without me even requesting it or even knowing that was in the air. And, they are reasonably priced or at least they were fair with me. I am just blown away and so happy right now and its because ofthis guy and his law firm (Wallin & Klarich).

Wallin & Klarich

I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my case. I'm very grateful for all the folks over at Wallin & Klarich. I'd recommend Jonathan Lynn to anyone in need of legal representation.

Jon really helped when it mattered most

I was recommended to see Jonathan Lynn at Wallin & Klarich by my Emoloyer's legal assistance program. My Employer only recommends reputable attorneys. I really appreciate everything Jon did for my daughter's legal case. It was a very serious offense and Jon was available and explained everthing as... it progressed. My daughter's case has been resolved and I would recommend Jon to anyone who may need his legal help. Thanks

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
