Hired Attorney Matthew Blake Wallin

I cannot say enough good things about Matt Wallin. Finding someone experienced in this specific area of law was not easy, but I’m so grateful we did. He represented both me and my child during a very stressful expulsion process and handled everything with the perfect balance of professionalism and compassion. From the very beginning, Mr. Wallin was understanding, supportive, and accommodating to our needs. He took the time to really listen, explain every step of the process, and made sure we always felt heard and prepared. His personable approach made a very intimidating situation so much more manageable, and I truly felt he cared about my child’s future. Most importantly, thanks to his guidance and advocacy, my child was able to stay in school. If you ever find yourself in need of representation in this area, I highly recommend Matt Wallin. He is not only skilled and knowledgeable but also genuinely kind, which makes all the difference.

Soheil is a great lawyer. He was reassuring and confident, which put me at ease. He had charges against me dismissed in a city attorney meeting that lasted less than fifteen minutes and made the whole process very easy and relatively painless, asking basically as little of me as possible throughout. I felt like I was well taken care of and there are no charges against me to show for it :)

If you want an excellent attorney on your side, Matthew is the best. Matthew is very knowledgeable, professional and always patient in responding to all the different questions we had. He was very organized with his responses. He provided very systematic and detailed answers and clarifications on the communication we had. Our case was against the School district and Matthew was able to help us receive a favorable decision. All during the timeline leading up to the hearings, Matthew was able to guide us and also prepare well for the different conditions/requirements that may be asked of us. This was very helpful since his insight helped us be best prepared and no questions were raised. Matthew was easily accessible to us and was very prompt in sending us responses to our different queries. Sometimes, even when asked the same question, he was patient and explained to us the situation. Matthew has been an excellent partner and we are extremely happy we hired him to fight for us.

Wallin and Klarich is the best of the best. I hired them to quash a bench warrant and they delivered. I called two other law firms and not only was Wallin and Klarich better priced, they went out of their way to put me at ease. I worked specifically with Soheil Levy and Alexander Tran. They were awesome. They went out of their way to get my bench warrant quashed. I'm out of state and they handled everything for me. I never had to show up to court. They communicated with me through emails and phone calls and returned my call every time. I would highly recommend them.

Working with this firm was a pleasant experience (under the circumstances) I contacted Wallin & Klarich for my son who got into some trouble that could have ruined the rest of his life. Everyone that I spoke with was very caring. Soheil Levy was heavily involved in my sons case, he kept me informed each step of the way. Never mind I was in the bay area, Soheil made me feel as if I was in the courtroom with my son. Every time I called Soheil, he always answered, he made me feel like this was his only case. Soheil went above and beyond, this wasn’t just another case assigned to him...he actually cared. I can’t Thank the staff at Wallin & Klarich for their assistance during this difficult time. A Special Thanks to Alex Tran😉
