I’m extremely grateful for Bobby Waltman. I had some warrants from many years ago, I contacted the public defenders office with my concerns. Bobby Waltman contacted me directly to ensure I had the best representation for my unique situation. He held my hand and guided me through the entire process. His generosity and genuine nature showed in the court and gave me the very best outcome. I interviewed many attorneys and I couldn’t have been more pleased with Mr. Waltman. Mistakes are made and I strongly recommend Bobby to represent you in your difficult times, he will definitely give you everything’s he’s got.

Bobby Waltman was my
Public defender appointed by the Orange County courts in 2017 - 2018. He had my
Felony dropped to a misdemeanor. He is an amazing attorney ! He cares about his clients and didn’t just write me off. When I first met
him I was in a very bad spot in my life. I’m grateful that he saw something in me . Today my life has completely changed. I’ve been sober since December 20,2017. I have a beautiful daughter and I am headed to get my degree at saddleback college. If you ever read this Bobby thank you again for all you did !

My wife fought a completely bogus narcotics sales case for 4 years before the matter was finally transferred to Robert Waltman. Within 3 months Mr. Waltman negotiated a complete dismissal of all felony charges with time served. During negotiations he prepared my wife's case for trial and I was totally confident that Mr. Waltman could have won the acquittal that would have properly served the ends of justice. I would praise Mr. Waltman to any friend or family member with complete confidence. I expect Mr. Waltman has a great career ahead of him and will help many people in need with excellent legal representation.

Robert “Bobby” Waltman won my 2nd trial after having a mistrial and was able to get a unanimous verdict of not guilty for me last year. He shows passion, determination, and devotion in the courtroom. He’s a very intelligent individual who shows confidence in his work and really gets down to business. I don’t think I would’ve won that trial with any other attorney but Bobby Waltman!

I was extremely lucky to have my case placed in the hands of this attorney. He got both of my felony charges dropped. He puts his heart into his work and it shows. He knows the law, he works hard and fights for you. I’m grateful to have had his assistance in my matter.

Bobby Waltman is an excellent, hard working, dedicated, and down to earth, profesional Public Defender. That is very passionate and fights hard for his clients and really takes the time find the facts that best support his clients position in the defense of their case.
I know this because, I was one of the lucky people to have been assigned by the Court, to Mr. Waltmans case load, as my Public Defender to represent me in my Trial. I could not have been more satisfied and pleased with the way he handled every aspect and sitiation (even a few unexpected ones. As i was not the easiest client he has ever had im sure), and procedure, with good advice, decisieve decsions and timing, confidence, knowledge, and well informed, convincing and aggressive arguments. That led the Jury to find me not guilty and winning my case as well as my appreceation, ultimate respect and gratitude that will never be forgotten!!!!!

My case was changed hands 3 times, over the course of a year and 1/2 until it reached Bobby’s. I had nearly lost all hope of it being resolved. I was being charged on 2 counts dui, I was drunk in a parked car- this was a relapse for me after having been sober for some time. (Most people I knew just told me to take whatever the penalty for a 1st time dui was) even though I had not caused the car to move.
He called me and asked questions and I could tell he was actually going to work with and for me instead of passing me off before he moved to a new location. He stayed working my case on weekends, and informing me of what things looked like, what they meant and how to handle outcomes. I felt like I had a friend in my corner. He asked the right questions, he handled all the judges, das, and my inquiries in a professional and direct manner. There was no sleaze about this man at all, no pushing from him. When questioning witnesses including myself, his cut more to the core of what actually happened and why, In my particular case, it was or could be reasonably true. I never felt judged by him, I always felt supported and like I was the only case he was handling. Even though I know, that wasn’t the case. His closing argument was passionate and thorough. He stood up for me and referenced the whole case as needed, as well as countered all the das wild accusations which had just been accumulating throughout the case. Adding more things on as the trial went. He was able to not only keep up with him but in general stay ahead, and keep me ahead. The trial went a bit longer then anticipated. The tally on counts had reached 3 that they rolled back into 2. On the first count the hung jury was 10-2 in my favor and on the 2nd count we had a not guilty verdict! There was a ticket trailing these that then had to be accounted for and Bobby showed up again in court to hear the da say they could not proceed with another trial and stayed all day at an office he was no longer working at for me to fix everything at the dmv. So that I could have the ticket trailing reduced to a minor infraction. I’m so grateful my case reached Bobby Waltman and that it wasn’t tried by any previous public defender. I’m certain I would not have had the same outcome. He saved my life. And cared that he was doing so before he even knew what it meant to me. I felt like we won for many reasons but also because Bobby has a real sense of what people are like, how they think and what they are compassionate about. Showed me how to stick to simple facts. While touching on the non relevant and harder to understand topics lightly. I would recommend Bobby to anyone I care for, my family my closest friends and even strangers in a tough spot. He’s the only lawyer I’ve ever met who will truly fight for you and care about what will happen to you, if it goes south. Which if you have him, its highly Unlikely.
