Riverside Criminal Defense Attorneys

When you’re facing a criminal charge in Riverside, crucial parts of your life are at stake. Even if you don’t go to prison, a criminal conviction can hurt your personal finances, your job, your family and your reputation in the community. It can also be extremely stressful for the accused and his or her loved ones, especially if it’s the first time they’ve been caught in the legal system. That’s why, if you’re charged with a crime, you need smart, experienced legal advice from an aggressive defense attorney.

Wallin & Klarich can help. For more than 30 years, our Riverside criminal defense law firm has defended people in Riverside County and throughout Southern California who have been accused of serious crimes. That includes felony charges related to drugs or sex as well as misdemeanors or less serious crimes, such as domestic violence and driving under the influence. We have an unparalleled geographic spread, with offices in Hemet, downtown Riverside, Temecula and 29 other cities in Southern California, so we can be wherever you and your family need us. Thanks to our region-wide offices, our decades of practice and several former prosecutors on our staff, we know the courts and the judges that will hear your case well, giving us an edge in court. We have the most prestigious rating a law firm can achieve, an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, for our legal skills and ethics.

Commitment to Client Service

The first thing Wallin & Klarich criminal defense attorneys will do after taking your case is look for any mistakes, flaws or violations of your rights by police and prosecutors. Law enforcement isn’t perfect -- officers sometimes get careless about the facts, the evidence or your civil rights. Our Riverside County criminal attorneys will comb through the case against you, challenging any flaws we find in order to get your case dismissed. When that’s not possible, our team will start negotiations early in the case to lower or drop all charges not supported by evidence. If your case goes to trial, we are committed to providing an aggressive and thorough defense -- and forcing the prosecution to play fair.

If you’re facing jail time, Wallin & Klarich can help immediately after taking the case with jail release services. We maintain relationships with several bail bond companies and can have many clients back with their families in hours. We strive to be affordable for families facing a Riverside criminal case, offering reasonable legal fees and payment arrangements to those who ask. And we offer free consultations -- initial meetings at which we discuss your case and its prospects -- at no further obligation to you.
