Ventura Criminal Defense Attorneys

If you’re accused of a crime, it’s sometimes hard to know where to turn. A criminal conviction can be devastating to you and your family, but it can also have profound effects on your savings, your job and any future employment prospects. Under this kind of pressure, it’s not always easy to decide on the best course. That’s why experts recommend that you always talk to an experienced Ventura criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.

Wallin & Klarich can help. We have more than 30 years of experience defending clients accused of serious crimes in Ventura County and throughout Southern California. We take cases involving all types of criminal charges, including DUI/driving under the influence, family violence and other misdemeanor crimes, as well as felonies like narcotics violations and sex-related crimes. We have offices in downtown Ventura and Simi Valley -- just two of our 32 offices throughout Southern California, so we can be wherever you need us the most. We have the most prestigious rating a law firm can achieve, an AV Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. And because we’ve practiced in Southern California for decades, we have an intimate knowledge of the judge and the court that will decide your case.

Aggressive Ventura Criminal Defense Law Firm

The first thing Wallin & Klarich attorneys do after taking most cases is look for any mistakes, flaws or violations of your rights by law enforcement. In their haste to get a conviction, police and sheriffs sometimes make serious mistakes or violate defendants’ civil rights violations, forcing prosecutors to drop all charges. If we can’t find this type of flaw in your case, we can often hit prosecutors hard early, negotiating for reduced or dropped charges. If a trial is best in your case, we will defend you aggressively and thoroughly, forcing the prosecution to live up to its Constitutional duty to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

If you or someone you love is facing jail time, Wallin & Klarich has the resources to help immediately. We have a network of partner bail bond companies that allows many clients to walk free within hours of hiring us. We offer reasonable legal fees and payment plans for clients that need them, because we know nobody plans financially for a criminal charge. And we offer free initial consultations, meetings at which we can tell you about your rights and your case, so there’s no reason not to meet with our experienced Ventura defense attorneys.
