About Katherine
Biography
Ms. Walsh is a successful Juvenile Attorney who has handled thousands of juvenile cases. As a former juvenile prosecutor, she knows the ins and outs of Juvenile Court. Most attorneys concentrate on Adult Crime, and are out of their element when it comes to juvenile law because there are different rules and procedures. Few attorneys focus their practice on juvenile law. Ms. Walsh wants to get your child a second chance.

Posted by anonymous | January 25, 2019 | Hired Attorney
Simply the best attorney I've ever met.
We contacted Katie Walsh as a victim rights attorney on behalf of my minor niece and she was incredible. It wasn't until late in the case when we felt the DA had dropped the ball in the prosecution of the perpetrator that we reached out to Katie and we only wish we had done so earlier. Not only did K...

Very Knowledgeable and Helpful
"My son was charged with Lewd Conduct, P.C. 647 out of Downey, CA. After hiring Ms. Walsh, she spoke with the District Attorney, Probation, and the Judge. Even though the judge was not pleased with the offer, she was able to get my son Community Service and a Class to complete, and the case will be d...

Attorney Katie Walsh
Ms. Walsh was a life saver when I didn't know what was going on, or how to handle the situation. My young daughter was attacked at her middle school and was seriously injured. At a time when both the school and the police were giving us the run-around and not helping, Ms. Walsh fought for us! She mad...

A Great Attorney for Stalking/Harassment Cases
Katie Walsh is an outstanding attorney. I am a teacher and was being stalked/harassed by a parent at my school. I wanted a restraining order against this person. Ms. Walsh listened to me and made me feel like I was her most important client. She made me feel safe, and assured me that everything wo...
Katherine Elizabeth Walsh's Lawyer Endorsements
"Katherine works hard for her clients and gets the best results."
"Katherine is an exceptional litigation attorney whose reputation speaks for itself. Highly recommended lawyer."
"I had the pleasure (or challenge, depending on how you look at it) of dealing with Ms. Walsh when she was a Deputy DA in Orange County. There were many instances over several years that we found ourselves on opposing sides on many different cases. I can attest based on those interactions that Ms. Walsh's preparation, judgement and skill are of the highest quality. In addition, as a prosecutor, she consistently listened to opposing counsel and considered all arguments before deciding on a case. I'm positive that as a criminal defense attorney and juvenile attorney these qualities will tremendously benefit her clients."
"Katie was an excellent O.C.D.A., and now she's an excellent defense attorney. I have handled numerous cases with Katie, and she always worked with the highest level of integrity, knowledge, and professionalism. I am proud to call Katie not just a colleague, but also a friend."
"I endorse this lawyer. Katie is both personable and knowledgeable."
"I endorse Ms. Walsh wholeheartedly. Not only is she a good lawyer, she is a good person. This quality of her character is not lost on all with whom she interacts, including opposing lawyers, judges and juries. Combining empathy and skill she is able to secure the best results for her clients."
"I worked with Katie on some cases when I was practicing as a defense attorney in Orange County. She has done an excellent job of transitioning out of the prosecutors office and into the difficult task of taking on often challenging juvenile cases. Katie's excellent relationship with her former office is going to be a major benefit to all of her incoming clients. Furthermore, Katie was always tough but fair and I am confident she is the same with her clients."
"A true sign of an excellent attorney is one who can “cross the table” effectively from being a great prosecutor to becoming a great defense attorney. Katie is one of those attorneys. I have worked with more prosecutors than I can count over the years and Katie stands out as someone who was always fair with her cases, and even more importantly, showed compassion. Now as a defense attorney, she has put her extensive inside knowledge to work for her clients and achieves outstanding results because of this. In particular, I am very impressed with Katie’s effectiveness with Juvenile cases. She is the go-to lawyer for these offenses in Orange County and I give her my highest endorsement."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"Without hesitation, I fully endorse this lawyer. Attorney Walsh is an outstanding criminal lawyer. I have known her for many years now and know her professionalism, work ethic, compassion, and lawyering skills are simply extraordinary."
"Katherine Walsh is both an outstanding attorney and a wonderful human being. Katherine over the years has developed a great deal of expertise in both Juvenile Court and in Domestic Violence cases. This experience not only helps in knowing the law, but gives her a great deal of sensitivity in working with her clients. Katherine is also very honest, hardworking and fights exceptionally hard for her clients. You would be lucky to have her on your side!"
"Katie Walsh is one of the elite criminal defense attorneys in Southern California. She attacks the prosecutions case from every possible angle and leaves no stone unturned. She is smart, dedicated and caring. I recommend Katie Walsh without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I opposed this lawyer when she was a District Attorney. I always thought she comported herself with the utmost professionalism. She is very knowledgeable about criminal law issues based on her 9 years in the Orange County District Attorney's Office. She has had many felony trials with excellent results. She has a great rapport with the jury and the judges and it reflects in her results. Being a successful criminal defense attorney depends in part on your relationships with the District Attorney and the Judges. Ms. Walsh has GREAT relationships with all these people which will be very helpful to her clients."
