Save yourself some heartache, anxiety, and time--call Scott & have him represent you…read more Extremely, grateful to have found Scott. I would recommend him to anyone I know. I did A LOT of research and consultations when looking for a lawyer to help me with my case. I knew instantly after talking to Scott, that he was the one I wanted to represent me. What made my decision to go with Scott, is that you can tell that he's honest & concise. He did not give me any empty promises & prepared me for what my best/worst outcome could look like. It was clear from the start that he truly understood my values to have the best outcome while also being mindful of protecting my family and avoiding unnecessary pain or conflict. Seriously, thank heaven/god/universe, that I made the right choice in having Scott as my lawyer! I got the best outcome because of him. He handled my case with professionalism and integrity. Throughout the process, he was consistently responsive and informative--something I didn't realized how much I needed until I experienced it. He was extremely patient with me, always taking the time to answer my many questions, even when they were repeated. Thank you, thank you Scott!!

I hired Scott for a dui case I had. At first he seemed like he was trying to help. After the first…read morecourt date it seemed communication started to dwindle. After over a year the judge finally requested I appear. Scott informed me to show up at 8. I work mornings so I took time off work. I showed up and he was not there, I tired contacting him and I was ignored. I told the bailiff my attorney never showed up and what I can do they told me to come back at 2:30pm. I returned and Scott finally showed up. He didn't acknowledge me at all until I went up to him and told him to just accept the plea because I didn't trust his services after ignoring me. Part of the plea was house arrest. He never helped with that process and when I asked him for help and that I was stressing he said he is no longer counsel post conviction. You would think after messing up and ignoring me the last court date he would try to make it up but nothing. I cannot in good faith recommend Scott for his services. He did not have my best interest and caused me more stress and headaches. I honestly should've just gone with a public defender. Thousands of dollars later I feel in a worse situation then I started. I hope this helps someone from having a similar experience

I don't write many reviews, but Will definitely earned this one. I had a really long, complicated…read morecivil harassment restraining order case involving a neighbor, and there were honestly times I wondered if it would ever end. From the beginning Will was honest with me. He never told me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I needed to hear. He explained the law, laid out the options, and always had a plan. Every time we walked into court he was prepared. You could tell everyone there knew him and respected him, from the court staff to the other attorneys. That gave me a lot of confidence when things got stressful. What impressed me the most was that he actually cared. I never felt like I was just another client. This wasn't just about winning a case, it was about protecting my family and getting our peace back. He fought hard every hearing and never let up, even after the case dragged on way longer than anyone expected. There were plenty of moments where it would've been easy to just go through the motions, but thats not how Will practices. When it was time to argue our case he was an absolute beast in the courtroom and wasn't going to let someone keep harassing my family without putting up a fight. In the end we got the restraining order we were hoping for, and I honestly don't think that happens without him. If youre looking for an attorney for a civil harassment restraining order, neighbor harassment, or just someone who will actually fight for you, I'd hire Will again in a heartbeat. He's honest, prepared, cares about his clients, and he's exactly who you want standing next to you when things get difficult.

He treated my wife and I as individuals that needed his help and not just another case. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed and took the time to explain every step, so I always knew what to expect.

Thanks to his knowledge and persistence, I was able to successfully complete the program and move on with my life. Bryan truly stood by my family when we needed it most. The outcome that he achieved will make a lasting difference for myself and my family. I will be eternally grateful for what he did for us.

I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible, but yes, Bryan and especially Dustin, made this very chaotic and emotional roller coaster of an experience for me personally, feel very almost seamless, effortless and calm. I feel like I received peace of mind, all of my time back, as they took care of basically every physical and legal obligation possible. The value received was definitely exponentially greater than what I was charged for. And not at any point did I feel like I was not absolutely being fought for, and given the best chance with them for the best outcome under the circumstances. Even after the conclusion, they are still helping me with the post processes. They actually care and I could not be more appreciative for Dustin especially and Bryan. Thank you guys so much honestly, you guys are absolutely amazing what you do and just very good human beings. Thank you again. Sincerely, Brent

I've learned that they only way you can guarantee a professional criminal defense is to hire a well…read moreestablished law firm. These firms have support teams that can do the heavy lifting when researching case law, as well as have a level of internal accountability enforced between the partners. I made the mistake of hiring an independent lawyer based on positive online reviews. However, I did (eventually) notice that the lawyer was basically winging it in front of the judge (who was not impressed) and also trying to take the path of least resistance. Not knowing any better (its my first, and hopefully last, criminal defense), I accepted an unfavorable judgement. This resulted in the opposing party attempting to extort a lot of money via court enforced restitution - which the DA was very enthusiastic about, despite what was obviously an attempt at fleecing me. Fortunately, my hot shot independent lawyer had to excuse himself from the case due to personal matters, and this gave me the opportunity to hire Wallin and Klarich. First of all, Wallin/Klarich won over my business because they actually had a partner talk to me about the case and the potential approaches to my restitution defense. This was in sharp contrast to other supposed high performance firms that only had a paralegal give me a pre-prepared spiel and only vaguely talk about how they would defend me. Once Wallin/Klarich began on my case, I was surprised at the level of professional effort that was being put in, just to prepare for my case. A lot of case law research was done and communicated to me directly by the partner (Matthew Wallin), and I was able to challenge conclusions and receive even more nuanced perspectives. This was in sharp contrast to my previous (independent, highly rated online) lawyer, who did nothing of note. Klarich/Wallin presented their case to the DA - who decided to go back and do more work themselves. Inevitably, the DA called the plaintiff onto the stand - clearly determined to win. Note that the plaintiff/victim is heavily protected by the judge and can virtually say any bullshit on the stand which is immediately taken as truth. My lawyer, partner (Matthew Wallin), carefully navigated through the inconsistencies and other nonsense spewed by the plaintiff while carefully avoiding to appear to be badgering. In the end, the damage really was already done (once you are in a restitution hearing in California, you are screwed), yet Matthew Wallin was able to rescue more than 60% of the potential restitution bill - and believe me, the judge was really reluctant to even do that, but such was the convincing arguments made by Matthew Wallin. I highly recommend Wallin/Klarich - you will definitely feel that you are getting your money's worth in terms of a professional, highly prepared legal defense. And if you don't hire them, make sure to hire some other established law firm - don't hire independent lawyers (despite what the online reviews say).

We were so lucky to have found them. I had a consult with Michael which led us to the amazing Jennifer Kim. Jennifer has worked so incredibly hard for both my child and I. I could not have survived this without her. Being the parent of a violent crime victim and being further victimized by the LA.DA office is a fate that i do not wish upon anyone. Jennifer made this process so much easier and we were able to get the justice and peace that we needed to go on with our lives and heal. I plan to keep this firm on retainer should my child need advice or any other form of advocacy in the future. Jennifer is so compassionate, kind and fair. We consider her like family now and will be forever grateful to her.

He was VERY helpful, more helpful than even those those to pretend to offer free consultations. It's unfortunate that what I needed is one of the very few areas he does not work on. However, he was still very helpful providing explanations to things that he's able to provide and even went far and beyond to look for an attorney contact that he's worked with before that may be able to help with my case to refer to me. He's so helpful, caring, and professional that I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for an attorney within his area of expertise.

He never made promises he couldn't keep or guaranteed an outcome. Instead, he explained every step of the process, kept me informed, and gave me realistic expectations. That honesty, combined with his confidence and experience, gave me tremendous peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time. Mr. Bettencourt worked tirelessly behind the scenes, communicated with all the appropriate parties, and handled every aspect of my case with professionalism and integrity. He was also a tremendous source of reassurance. At times, he felt as much like a steady guide as he did my attorney, helping me stay calm and focused when my anxiety got the best of me. I am deeply grateful for everything he did on my behalf. If you are looking for an experienced, honest, knowledgeable, and compassionate criminal defense attorney, I recommend Grant Bettencourt without hesitation.
