I started working with Celia last year with an ugly situation with my ex. Celia is 100% straight to the point and extremely honest with how things can turn out.
I talked to about 10 lawyers before I decided to go with Celia and have really been amazing. Celia and her team are great, excellent at communicating, and have been an enormous help. Even with a stressful situation like child custody, Celia has been incredible with her expertise in family law.

Celia is truly wonderful. How often you heard a story of "a lawyer with a heart"? She is practical, straightforward, helpful, efficient, and well organized.

Celia is one of the most amazing attorneys I have ever come across! She was able to take on an extremely complicated case and worked effortlessly to get us the win we needed with very little time to prepare. I've worked with a number of attorneys in the past, three of whom I still have on retainer, and was impressed with her ability to know what needed to be done to get the win and let us know exactly what evidence she needed us to prepare. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an experienced attorney in need of justice!

After contacting this law firm several times, I decided to go in for a consultation. Klarich, kept asking about the $250 Consultation Fee, multiple times and it was really annoying. Finally the day comes to consult at his office in Tustin, CA. The first thing he ask, guess what, yep the consultation fee. $250, this guy must not get a lot of action, because of the constant request of the $250. Now in all fairness he may have looked up the case info in regards to the History of Retained Attorneys and like all dishonest attorneys do, the lie. So previous attorneys would promise certain things and if they do not deliver then they are not getting paid. Like the 1st Attorney of Record was given $28,000 but requested $80,000 on Amended Charges and then this attorney had purposely colluded with the District Attorney and then we had fired him, then the next time in front of a Judge, he files a motion to withdraw and the Judge said, I do not think so, it was solely up to us to keep the attorney but who wants a sellout, so we let the attorney withdraw and he refunded $5000 for us to obtain another attorney. My stock portfolio reflects an earning of $250 every 20 minutes of an 8 hour day. This guy Klarich gets all stoked of $250, that shows me where his mindset is. He is researching and possibly even calling previous attorney's and checking the record so he considers this being protective but the truth is, that is all this guy thinks about, money, if he would have spent more time focused on the issues at hand we may have moved forward with this firm, besides it was the partner's son who I was more interested in and they give us this guy who is a total know it all but truthfully does not know much about the appellant process, yeah maybe general stuff but even I know that, but everything he said in reference to our questions was nothing new that we didn't already know. Also, since attorney's may look at the History of Cases, it would be only fair to look up the attorney's record or how many successful appeals an attorney may have and after the consultation, I did just that and for the amount of confidence he had shown does not reflect much in his success in the appellant courts realm but then again, not even the best of attorney's have any type of a successful record, but that is the nature of the beast in the appellant world.

So Happy that I made the decision to contact Wallin & Klarich to help me in dealing with my past legal issues. Over the past decade I have worked hard to change and have been successful in doing so. But there has always been that cloud hanging over my head. You cant run from your past-but Mr. Klarich sat down with me and my wife personally and explained how the system worked. His office was welcoming, and his assistants and associates were always there by email and telephone when the paperwork trail seemed endless. Court rooms had always been a negative experience in my past, but thanks to Wallin & Klarich my last court room appearance had me standing tall. i was able to prove to the courts that I am indeed the changed man that my friends and co-workers know me to be. I walked out of the court room with a Certificate of Rehabilitation and that means the world to me. It will open doors that have been closed to me in the past -doors that have not only been closed legally but also in my own mind. Thank you so much!

Stephen Klarich, and the people at Wallin and Klarich, listened from the first phone call we had, had a knowledgeable understanding and encouraged me with hope that what I sought could be attained. After making the decision and committing to the case, Mr. Klarich and his team were always very attentive and quick with a response. Following advice and guidance from my attorney proved to be a wonderful success that lead to my victorious case that will positively change my life. Thank you Mr. Klarich, Julie and Michael L.

Suzanne became my parents estate attorney in 2010. When a financial elder abuse situation occurred, Suzanne handled a very confusing, contentious and heartbreaking situation with calm, reason and the utmost professionalism. Her skills with the law and estate planning are unsurpassed. I never had any concerns with her expertise. She is also a very warm and compassionate person who has her client's best interest at the forefront. Very happy with Suzanne.

I was lucky enough to have Mary Ann as my representation when I was going through a difficult time. She was quick to return phone calls and always explained thoroughly what was going on and what the next step would be. She patiently answered every question that I had. Her legal team at office (Maxine-Lauren -Diana) are very nice and professional. I truly believe that she got me the best result possible. I enthusiastically endorse her to anyone who needs legal help.

Mary Ann was recommended to me when I needed an attorney to address child custody issues. I could not have been more satisfied with this recommendation. Mary Ann listens. She is compassionate and caring, yet she is also honest. We have unfortunately had a variety of situations arise and while this has been a stressful, drawn out process, I feel that I have been extremely well represented. Mary Ann is able to take my feelings, frustrations and concerns and succinctly puts them into well written documents. In the end, I have what is most important to me, full custody of my son and I have her to thank for that. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is professional, organized and absolutely knows what she is doing.

I was referred to Mary Ann Noiroux by an acquaintance who was also an attorney, but didn't specialize in Family Law. Let me tell you that was the best referral that I've ever received! I was faced with a divorce involving two minor children after many years of marriage, and to further complicate my situation my now ex-wife is a powerful attorney herself. Outgunned and intimidated, I turned to Mary Ann for relief from a very painful situation. She literally saved my life! She immediately put an end to many unpleasant and harsh conditions, established a level playing ground, and never ceased being a zealous advocate of my rights as father of my children and as the weaker partner in the marriage. Everything that she predicted would happen did happen. She has exceptional maneuverability inside of the court system and is well respected by her peers. Mary Ann, simply stated, is an exceptional attorney with an incredible array of skill sets. I will be forever grateful for what she has done for me!

During a particularly challenging period, Attorney Jason Blonska represented me with exceptional skill and compassion. My case was complex, involving a spouse with dementia being exploited by unscrupulous attorneys and his children from a previous marriage. I was drawn to Jason's services upon learning of his track record with similar cases. Opting to engage him over a 'Super Lawyer', I found my decision to be sound when Jason adeptly secured a win for me.
Jason's deep legal knowledge and persuasive courtroom arguments are commendable. Despite facing aggressive tactics from the opposition, his demeanor remained composed and resolute. Beyond his professional expertise, Jason's dedication and responsiveness made communication a breeze, offering much-needed solace during trying times.
Jason embraced a comprehensive strategy when tackling the legal complexities of my case. His resourcefulness shone through as he collaborated with an esteemed estate law attorney, a partnership that proved pivotal in our triumph. Jason's actions reflect a genuine concern for his clients, coupled with a work ethic that’s both rare and admirable in the legal field today.
Above all, Jason is an individual of utmost integrity and sincerity. Discovering Jason was indeed a stroke of good fortune.

If lawyers have a bad rep, this guy makes up for all of that. He will give you new faith in lawyers. He did a post nup for me and not only did a great job, but was also quite reasonable, and so easy to deal with. I love his positive energy; he even shared that he enjoyed working with me. I will definitely use Jason again and refer him, too!

I am a law school graduate going through the CA Bar Moral Application process. Unfortunately, during that period, I was arrested and charged with DUI. Being convicted with a DUI, you get a minimum of 3 years probation and this meant I had to kiss my chances of becoming an attorney for a long time. Factually, the prosecutor had a very strong case against me. So Robert had to put in motion his special negotiation skills and his know how.
Fortunately, almost a year after my arrest, Robert and his team were able to negotiate a plea of "wet reckless" which carried with it only 1 year probation, but terminable in 6 months as long as I have not committed another offense and have complied with the fees, etc.
I recommend him and his team highly as they are very professional and knowledge in this field of practice.

Greatest lawyer ever he got me off the hook with a year hanging over my head and a pregnant girlfriend when my case was told bull. When I did eventually have to show up to court he got my case dismissed that very day, even after I told him to sign a deal for 200 hours of Caltrans and a few years of probation his answer was to have faith in him because he had faith me. The only thing that he asked of me was to make a promise to him that I would stay out of trouble so that I wouldn't ever need him again. Five years later and Ive kept that promise and so you know that my situation was real my name is Richard e reed jr tell him I recommended him to you and thank you Robert hickey for my freedom

Tina was amazing. I had a case ongoing for 7 years! My last Attorney did nothing but waste my money. Tina was able to get me divorced finally and my entire custody situation worked out in only a year! On top of that she turned what was an extremely emotional and stressful time into something that was more bearable. She LISTENED to me and provided honest feedback. She was there whenever I needed her. Her and the entire team was responsive and wonderful. I wish I would have hired her from day 1.

I hired Tina Talbot as a QDRO attorney. I cannot express how difficult I found her to work with. She seemed to either forget or ignore requests/direction that I and others gave her, and never seemed to pass important information along to the accountant, so that the calculations had to be redone 3 times. As a lawyer, I felt she communicated poorly: the process, my choices, answers to my questions. And to top it off she kept reminding me how little she was making for the amount of work she was doing.

We can always count on Tina for great advise and to set our minds at ease with any concerns. She really knows her stuff, the system, the court staff (and judge or other attorney you may be facing). She has a great heart but is a PIT BULL in court. She has worked with our other family and friends and all are very happy with her. Stop looking, she's the one. -C & F

Buddy went in on a restraining order for me. My ex wanted to leave the state with my kids and he put the stops on it. Not only did he do that but he got me full custody of my two kids. Because I'm a man I always thought the courts favored the woman in a case but he put on a solid argument for me and we won. He also accepted payments from me because I didn't have the funds to pay all at once. He also didn't charge me for phone calls and emails like many attorneys do for their time. He's a little harsh at times but I didn't hire a therapist. I hired a fighter and that's what I got. Thanks Buddy. You rocked it Bro!

Karen is an EXCELLENT Attorney. She is well versed, well spoken and detail oriented. She thinks of the unthinkable as it relates to defending her client. Keeping her client well informed of all possible outcomes appears to be a motto of hers. Then she strategically and systematically fights for you with everything she has. As a client, her rating should be changed to 9.9 without question.

He was compassionate caring and knew the law extremely well he helped my family and I when a medical malpractice case which is highly unlikely a 12% chance you will ever get to trial a 7% chance that you'll ever win a medical malpractice case to statistics and because of his expertise and his law office of Day Day & Brown. we were able to do so Mr Alan Brown is fantastic as well.as his entire office staff I would highly recommend this lawfirm to anyone who needs compassionate, competentant, knowledgeable attorneys fight for them Mr Herrera is top-notch and so is the firm of Day Day and Brown it is with great gratitude that we think this law firm and Mr Herrera

Hired this attorney for medical malpractice case, and right at the get go, he arrives one hour late to my expert witness' deposition. Instead of calling the defense or my expert's office to inform of his tardiness, he calls me and has me attempt to do the calling. When he arrived, he did not defend my expert but sat there and watched him get badgered and mislead by the defense without making objections. I had waited 2 days for him to call me after wondering how the deposition went. I had to find out the above by reading the deposition transcript. Trevor Herrera decides to abandon me instead after tainting my case. But I would not sign a substitution form. Trial on my case was only 6 weeks away at this point. I was very upset with him, but he needed to fix what he did wrong, and I held him to it. He promised to do so, but then continued to set my case back, and on top of that started writing me defamatory letters with false outlandish statements hoping i would voluntarily fire him. When I confronted him, he apologized and promised to get on the ball. But instead he continued to set me back. Furthermore, in violation of our contingency retainer agreement, he started demanding I find distrust account $35,000 when I had not signed anything stating I would. I am on federal disability from a catastrophic injury to boot. I signed only a contingency agreement - not one front money in advance. He even called me 2 days before the defendants had scheduled to depose my mother 500 miles away, unbeknownst to me, saying they would not be defending her deposition if I didn't pay for their plane ticket. I felt so threatened and scared, that I used all my disability check which is supposed to pay for my rent to buy his plane ticket. When he arrived at the deposition, my mom said he did not do anything but sat there. It was like he was there for nothing. They continued to demand money from me, although they had no right to. Because of this he accompanied his supervisor who had been telling what to do all along to a motion to be relieved, misrepresented to the judge and lied to the judge which is a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and they abandoned me One Month before Trial. Very poor representation and very harmful. Now I'm stuck looking for new attorney with Trial only weeks away. Very bad.

I hired Timothy Mulhere to represent me facing a charge for PC 245 (A) (1) F Force/ADW Not firearm: GBI case involving two other suspects/defendants.
Basically law enforcement alleged that I was driving a vehicle occupied by two other suspects when one or more shot a boy in the eye with a paintball gun while riding a bicycle producing great bodily injury (GBI). In addition, it was alleged the two suspects went on foot to shoot paintballs and BB’s from a BB gun at property and vehicles in violation of PC 594 (A).
The two suspects were later arrested and law enforcement recovered a paintball gun and BB gun from the two suspects.
Since law enforcement did not believe that I was not involved with the other two suspects they tried to add an additional charge of conspiracy PC 182 to the case which was later struck down.
Private counsel Timothy Mulhere did nothing to dispute or challenge the weak evidence and car of the prosecution.
Fact(s):
1. Law enforcement never seen or established I or my vehicle was at the scene of the alleged crime(s). Made inference based on pure speculation and hearsay.
2. The alleged victim stated he saw a gold SUV possible a Chevy Blazer. I drive a gold Chevy S10 pick-up truck. Two distinctly different types of vehicles. Victim’s initial statements made to law enforcement and positive field identification completely contradict one another.
Plus victims alleged eye injury should have came into question of accurately making a positive field identification or any claims.
3. I was never found with or possessed any weapon, or accused of possessing a weapon. Nor was I ever identified or accused of having any connection or association with the alleged victim(s).
The only matter of evidence pending against me were the alleged two paintballs and paint splatter that was allegedly on my vehicle.
The two paint balls could’ve been dropped there by the suspects without me knowing or planted by law enforcement themselves when searching my vehicle.
The paint splatter could’ve been place by the suspects or law enforcement given the amount of time my vehicle was left unattended.
Law enforcement claimed the paint splatter was wet which would be hard to believe given the physical properties and amount of time it takes paint splatter to dry.
Based on these circumstances any competent or reasonable attorney would have moved or motioned to challenge the alleged charges and facts pertaining to the case.
I’m not sure if he read or even attempted to read the police report or did any due diligence to investigate the weak evidence and speculative hearsay evidence of law enforcement and the DA.
Private counsel Timothy Mulhere did absolutely NOTHING!!!
During preliminary stages he was hard to reach and did not provide much information or insight into what was taking place.
Results:
Private counsel Timothy Mulhere advise me to take a plea deal and plead no contest which was a huge mistake given the circumstances and weak evidence against me. I was convicted and placed on probation for 3 years for a crime I never committed all due to the incompetence and lack of efficient counsel and representation of Private counsel Timothy Mulhere.
Today I’m still suffering and paying for Mr. Mulhere’s incompetence and horrible advice of taking the plea deal. Mind you this took place in 2010. I would not have even given him one star but I guess you have to for rating purposes not sure.
Complete waste of $4,000 + dollars to end up with the results that I did given the facts and circumstances of the evidence against
me.
I would not recommend hiring Timoth Mulhere based personal experience and lack of performance.
Not worth the money or time. Especially if he’s not going to do the job.

Had a .02 and got convicted of a wet reckless, which later turned into a 2nd DUI. and screwed me bigtime Multiple lawyers told me that the .02 should have been thrown out by a lawyer who spend more time on it, and that I probably would have gotten the same result if I saved the fee and just used the court appointed lawyer. Nice guy but never got the feeling he spend a lot of time on my case.

Charged me over $40,000 came to court unprepared every single time did not have the proper documentation that I provided to him months in advance.
Take copies of your own documents to court if you decide you want to hire him.
The only thing he did, that was good, was the deposition, but he was not able to use it in court, because he forgets things and he’s very rude.
He promised me everything and delivered nothing, failed every single time.
Other lawyers called him a showman.

Best attorney you can ask for in criminal/family law. He manages your expectations so you know exactly what to expect. In serious matters like this, I greatly value how straight forward he is.
