Reviews for Ian
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Wallach helped me to understand the charge I was facing, outlined the possible approaches and outcomes, and realistically presented the facts of the case and the plausible prosecutorial actions. He negotiated a pre-trial deal with the district attorney, helped me to engage in restorative actions, and gather the proper supporting materials to further reinforce my defense. Mr. Wallach secured an informal sentence, ensuring no criminal record; he was the most essential element of my defense.
Ian advised me on a 5150 hold matter. My wife had reacted badly to a new medication and had been kept for 72 hours. By the end of the 72 hours she was back to normal, but the facility psychiatrist seemed as if she was planning to extend the hold. Ian explained the process, advised best practices and searched for colleagues able to spring into action. All this without being retained, which he advised against until the psychiatrist made her decision. Ian loves his work and it shows.
I have never been treated with such a degree of professionalism as well as down to earth honesty, as well as availability. Attorney Wallach was accessible to me and my family at any time of day or night simply by telephone or email. I have never had the degree of service that this attorney afforded me. He is the real deal, considerate, trustworthy, honest, and a man of his word. I asked God to give me a good attorney, and he went even further with Attorney Wallach. His peers should be proud.
