Brief History / Committment To My Clients:
Over the past 27 years, I have successfully defended over 5000
people accused of committing crimes, including murder, manslaughter,
rape, child molestation, attempted murder, conspiracy, drug offenses,
domestic violence, all juvenile matters, three strike cases, robbery
and burglary in both state and federal courts. I have handled many
high profile cases and have been quoted countless times in both
newspapers and on television. Currently, I train and mentor Wallin
& Klarich associates to ensure that my extensive experience is handed
down to other criminal defense attorneys. While handling my own
case load, I often assist other Wallin & Klarich attorneys with
preserving their client's rights. Currently, I also represent persons on appeal and for Certificates of Rehabilitation and Governor’s Pardons to clean up prior criminal convictions. I am totally committed to my clients,
as well as, all clients of Wallin & Klarich. I have a great reputation
for winning cases while maintaining the utmost integrity.
