Can you answer no on a job application after an expungement?

In California, yes, on most of them. Once the conviction is expunged you can answer no to the question of whether you have been convicted of a crime. That single change is what makes it worth doing, and it moves housing applications too.

You have seen him in these videos. Here is who he actually is.

Paul Wallin is a senior partner at Wallin & Klarich. If you have watched us explain what a defense team does on day one, or what happens when you are actually guilty, or how bail really works, that was him.

A lot of you found this account recently, and we have not done a proper introduction in a long time. So: that is who is talking to you in most of these clips.

Not sure where your case stands? Ring 877-4-NO-JAIL and ask. Free consultation, no obligation.

I have a court date and I do not know who is representing me.

If you cannot afford a lawyer the court appoints one. That is a constitutional right, not a favor, and for many people it is the right answer. You are also free to speak with a private firm before you decide, and those two facts do not conflict.

What a consultation gives you is information: what you are actually charged with, what the exposure looks like, what happens at the first hearing, and what the realistic paths are. Then you choose with the full picture.

Nothing to lose by asking. 877-4-NO-JAIL, or start at wklaw.com.

We've been doing this for over 40 years. And because of that, we've grown to having 8 offices across Southern California, and that is deliberate.

Irvine, Riverside, Anaheim, Tustin, Torrance, San Bernardino, Pasadena and Victorville. The footprint exists so the courthouse handling your case is one our attorneys already work in, not one they visit.

Practice varies more than people expect between counties and even between courtrooms. Knowing the room is part of what a defense is built on, and it is difficult to acquire from two hours away.

Questions about your own case? 877-4-NO-JAIL reaches our team, or send a message through the contact form at wklaw.com. Our DMs are open too.

It is my word against theirs.

That is the fear, and it is not quite how a trial works. A jury does not weigh two accounts on a scale. It asks who has a reason to shade the story, and California Evidence Code 780 lets jurors weigh a witness's bias, interest, or motive when deciding whether to believe them.

So the defense goes looking for that reason. If a witness has a motive to lie and nobody surfaces it, the jury hears their version as simple fact.

Bring us the names before anyone else talks to them. 877-4-NO-JAIL, or open wklaw.com and DM.

Five stars from Celina A. She said it better than we could.

"Beyond his effectiveness as a defender, what really sets him apart is the personal touch he brings to his practice. He made me feel supported throughout a very stressful process."

Thank you, Celina. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Wondering whether this applies to you? Ask us. 877-4-NO-JAIL, wklaw.com live chat, or a DM.

My son was arrested last night. The bondsman wants $5,000 today.

Before that money moves, understand what it is. The premium is the bondsman's fee, not a deposit, and no part of it returns when the case ends.

Depending on the facts, a lawyer may be able to reach the detention release officer and ask for release on own recognizance, or ask the judge at arraignment to release without bail. Sometimes the advice is to wait a day or two in custody for that hearing. If either lands, the money stays with your family.

One call first, then decide. 877-4-NO-JAIL, or reach us through wklaw.com or a DM.

Who decides a juvenile case in California, a jury or a judge?

A judge. There is no jury in juvenile delinquency court. One person on the bench hears the evidence, decides what happened, and decides what follows, which is not how the adult system is built.

That single difference changes the whole approach. There are no twelve strangers to persuade and no jury instructions to argue over. Everything runs through one decision maker who has seen thousands of these and is asked by statute to think about rehabilitation.

The consultation is free: 877-4-NO-JAIL. You can also reach us through the live chat on wklaw.com or a direct message.

A restraining order is not a criminal conviction.

That is exactly why people underestimate the hearing. Nobody was arrested, the case is labeled civil, and respondents show up without a lawyer. Then the order issues, and it is enforceable as a crime the moment it is violated.

After it is granted your options narrow to modification and termination. Before it is granted you can still put your defense, your account, and your witnesses in front of the judge.

Bring the paperwork before the hearing date. 877-4-NO-JAIL reaches a lawyer, and wklaw.com has chat if typing is easier.

Can a speeding ticket actually be fought?

Don F. left us five stars after his. He was cited on Hwy 15 coming in from Nevada near Barstow, believed the citation contained errors, and in his words the firm appeared several times on his behalf so that he never had to appear himself.

“Along the way, this exceptional firm kept me 100% in the loop, never an extra fee for the extra court appearances, and was nothing but respectful.” Every case turns on its own facts, and no outcome is ever guaranteed.

Ask before you decide anything. The number is 877-4-NO-JAIL, wklaw.com has live chat and a contact form, and our DMs stay open.
