I would NOT recommend Wallin & Klarich law firm to anyone!

I was charged with 2 Felony Counts (Sex Crimes).
I called the law office of Wallin & Klarich and a man by the name of Gregory Balderrama answered. I explained the details of the case to Gregory. He said he could take my case & defend me in court. Gregory said that Wallin & Klarich law firm charges a flat fee retainer of $2,500.00.
I told Gregory that I agreed with the retainer fee. Gregory asked how I was going to pay the retainer fee; I told him I wanted to use my credit card. Gregory asked me if I could meet with him and I told him that it would be a 2 hour drive for me, Gregory said we could take care of all the details over the phone & emails. Gregory said he was going to email me the New Client Homework Paperwork and that I needed to fill it out and email it back to him. I did as he asked. The first thing that Wallin & Klarich law firm did was charge my credit card the $2,500.00 retainer fee.
Gregory & I called and email each other a few times for the next 2 weeks. Gregory then told me that there was a problem. He said there is a conflict of interest between the law firm & me. He said the law firm defended my sister once and that if I wanted to involve her in my case, he had to withdrawal as my attorney. I had to contact another lawyer. My new attorney suggested that I contact Wallin & Klarich for a refund. I did that and was told that they were going to charge me for there time and I would get back a small portion of the restrainer fee. $125.00 was returned to my credit card account.
Bottom Line; I paid the law firm of Wallin & Klarich $2,375.00 to be told that there is a conflict of interest. That should have been a part of the New Client Homework Paperwork that I filled out.
I would NOT recommend Wallin & Klarich law firm to anyone!
