Orange County Criminal Defense Lawyers

A criminal charge can be catastrophic for the accused and his or her family. In addition to the social stigma and shame, a conviction can also have profoundly negative effects on your personal finances, your family and your future. When you’re facing these types of consequences, you need to know what all of your options are. That’s why you need an experienced Orange County criminal defense lawyer standing by your side.

Wallin & Klarich can help. We have more than 30 years of experience defending clients accused of serious crimes in Orange County and throughout Southern California. We defend all types of criminal charges, including driving while intoxicated/driving under the influence, domestic violence charges and other misdemeanors, as well as felony charges like drug charges and sex crimes. We have the most prestigious rating a law firm can achieve, an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. Our main office is in Tustin, but we maintain 32 offices throughout Southern California -- including locations throughout Orange County -- so we can be wherever our clients need us. And thanks to that geographic reach and our years of practice in Southern California, we have a deep knowledge of the judge and the court that will decide your case.

How Wallin & Klarich Can Help

After taking your case, the first thing our criminal defense attorneys will do is look for any serious flaws in your case. Law enforcement officers aren’t perfect -- eager to get a conviction, they sometimes make mistakes or violate defendants’ civil rights. When Wallin & Klarich identifies and aggressively challenges these flaws, we can often set you free entirely. In cases where that’s not possible, we will negotiate with prosecutors for lowered or changed charges that more accurately reflect the facts. And if it’s necessary to go to trial, we promise to defend your rights thoroughly and aggressively in court.

If you’re facing jail, Wallin & Klarich can help with a network of partner bail bond companies that can get many clients out within hours. Because we know a criminal charge can be expensive, we offer reasonable legal fees and can frequently get our clients freed without bail. And because our experienced Orange County defense lawyers offer free case evaluations, there’s no risk in speaking to Wallin & Klarich about your case and your rights.
