California Felony Defense Lawyers

Why Avoiding A Felony Conviction Is So Important

It's difficult to overestimate what's at stake for someone facing a felony criminal charge in California. Felony convictions come with substantial time in state prison, restrictions on your freedom during parole and sometimes even more legal consequences after you've served your time. In addition, avoiding a felony conviction is especially important in California, where having a felony conviction on your record means you're at risk for a "three-strikes" conviction that could put you in prison for life. The financial consequences for you and your family can also be steep. And then there are the personal consequences of a felony conviction, which can make it difficult to find work, put serious strain on your family and career, and continue to follow you long after you've paid your debts to society.

How Our California Felony Defense Attorneys Can Help

The highly experienced Southern California criminal attorneys at Wallin & Klarich have outstanding records of defending clients from serious criminal charges. We focus on reducing or eliminating charges, reducing penalties and winning acquittals in court where appropriate -- and we're proud of our record of substantial wins in felony cases. We've seen thousands of cases over more than three decades, and some of our attorneys are former prosecutors -- meaning we understand how the other side thinks. We know what the prosecution must do to build a winning case, and how to exploit the weak points that exist in any case. Our extensive experience means we know the judges, prosecutors and law enforcement in each of our home courts. In many cases, we can get you out of jail, back home and back to work within hours of taking your case, thanks to our extensive network of bail bond company contacts and pre-arraignment release services.
