Introduction

Let me introduce myself. I’m David M. Wallin, a Criminal Defense attorney working in Southern California. I graduated from Long Beach State University with a B.S. Degree in Criminology/Administration of Justice. After obtaining that degree, I attended the University of West Los Angeles School of Law, located at the time in Culver City, California. I happened to live in Culver City so it was perfect for me.

Upon graduating from Law School, I interviewed with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Within a matter of weeks I was hired and was a Deputy District Attorney, a job I held for about 5 years. In that time I handled thousands of cases as well as participating in an excess of 100 Jury Trials. I worked a variety of assignments from Juvenile Law to all aspects of Adult Prosecution.

Upon leaving the DA's office I began work for another criminal defense firm. In the years I worked there I handled hundreds of cases and defended many people at jury trials.

After leaving that firm, I began my own firm. I started the firm with just myself and one paralegal. I began with a simple idea - Work hard for your clients; always speak truthfully to your clients and charge a fair rate.

Too many attorneys out there will either promise clients whatever they want to hear or scare them into believing the case is worse than it is. I vow never to play those games. At our office we will always let our clients know what they're facing and the plan to try to assist them to maximize their chances of either a dismissal of the charges or a reduction of the charges.

Now it's been almost 18 years that I've practiced nothing but criminal law. I'm sure I've handled or participated in an excess of 100,000 cases by now. I have also been honored with certification as a Criminal Law Specialist in the state of California.
Since I first started by own firm, it’s grown into the largest Criminal Defense Firm in the High Desert and Northern Los Angeles County area. Two expertly trained lawyers plus 6 highly proficient paralegals have joined the team. I now have three offices located in Southern California located in Palmdale, Santa Clarita and Victorville.
