Mr. Eric Jones proved to be an outstanding lawyer in every way. He immediately took charge of the situation, gave clear guidance on the law and thoroughly explained the nature of the offense., options available and his very frank assessment of the situation. That is what was needed and he did his job well. We took his experienced advice and he handled the case superbly, He got the best result possible. I could not have received more professional and effective representation. Great job.

I hired Matthew Wallin to represent me when my roommate filed a restraining order in order to get out of our lease. Mr. Wallin helped me realize my rights and prevented me from signing a court mediation which would have placed restrictions on me. We went to court and the case was dismissed within minutes. Mr. Wallin is highly educated on the law and cared about my concerns. I highly recommend him to anybody needing a criminal court lawyer.

I was fortunate to work with attorney Dan Danet during this process. He was always extremely responsive and gave clear information about what exactly would happen each step of the way. Dan provided timely updates at every key moment and always gave an abundance of information. I would highly recommend him and would use him again if necessary.

I had a traffic violation and I have been referred to Wallin & Klarich. From the initial phone consultation to the end Dan Danet who handled my case has been nothing short of amazing. He was very prompt and courteous over the phone, he explained the process and my options, he already had all the case related information gathered, and walked through the possible outcomes very informatively. Most of it all, he listened. I will highly recommend this firm and Dan.

My attorney Andrew Haas in the Riverside Office from the 1st day of my consultation throughout the case to it conclusion, I was treated with the upmost respect and dignity. All of my questions were answered and Mr. Haas was very transparent about the disposition of my case and of my options. Mr. Haas followed through with all details of my case and worked in cooperation with the court. I believe that the outcome of my case was attributed largely to the professionalism and experience of MrHaas

"Our teen was facing an expulsion and the specifics surrounding the case were devastating to our family. We were dealing with backlash from our community, the school and social media. The school district was aggressive and wasted no time making sure our teen felt like a criminal. Matt Wallin made contact with the district the moment we hired him. He wasted no time. He successfully negotiated terms by which our teen returned to school, avoided a hearing and will have the record expunged.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
