Client Reviews

I hired attorney Katie Walsh to help my son when he was found with a large amount of drugs on school campus. She got us through the Expulsion Hearing, and miraculously he can go back to school at the winter semester after he catches up with his classes. The D.A. charged him with Possession for Sale (H&S 11375 (b) (1)) and Ms. Walsh got him a deal that after 1 year and community service his case can be dismissed and sealed-- like the incident and arrest never happened! You should hire Katie Walsh if your child ever gets in trouble at school or with the police. She made us feel very comfortable and answered all our questions.

I hired Katie Walsh to have my felony convictions expunged. She was able to expunge my record within 6 weeks of me giving her all the information. Even though technically I had a probation violation, and therefore the expungement was not automatic, she was successful with my case. Ms. Walsh was always available to answer my questions. I would recommend her if you need a criminal attorney- she changed my life, and my young son's life forever.

My 16 year old son was charged with possession of Marijuana, HS 11357(b). I was very concerned about what would happen to him and how this would affect his future. I contacted Ms. Walsh and she assured me that everything would be Ok- and it was. The judge wanted my son to plead guilty to this. Ms. Walsh got us a deal where my son did not have to plead guilty to anything, he did a class and community service and the case was DISMISSED completely! Ms. Walsh was always available for any questions we had. If you child is in trouble, hire Katie Walsh.

My child was charged with Felony Penal Code 597(a)- Animal Cruelty. After hiring Katie Walsh, she got the charges reduced to a misdemeanor, counseling, and 40 hours of chores at home. We come back in 6 months and the case will get completely dismissed and sealed from his record. This will not follow my child around. We are thrilled with these results and Katie Walsh. She was very responsive to us, and any questions we had. She was there every step of the way. If your child ever gets in trouble call Katie Walsh immediately.

I hired Katie Walsh to represent my son on sexual abuse allegations- P.C. 288(a) and P.C. 288(b)- they were Strike Charges. After negotiating with the D.A., she got all the strike charges dismissed, and got my son released from custody with credit for time served. Katie was very accessible and easy to get a hold of. She even took my calls and emails on a holiday weekend! I was so upset and scared for my son through out this- but Katie talked us through everything and answered all of our questions. She made us feel like someone was fighting for our son and cared about him. Absolutely hire Katie Walsh to help your child!

Katie Walsh was fantastic throughout this entire process! My 13 year old son was charged with two counts of lewd act on a minor, PC 288(a) and was in juvenile hall.

She got one of the charges dismissed up front, and after eighteen months and my son completes community service, the entire case will be dismissed.

As parents we were extremely concerned and nervous for our son- She was always available to answer all our questions and made us feel as much at ease as we could be during this process.

Ms. Walsh was a life saver when I didn't know what was going on, or how to handle the situation. My young daughter was attacked at her middle school and was seriously injured. At a time when both the school and the police were giving us the run-around and not helping, Ms. Walsh fought for us! She made the police listen to us and do their job. She answered every question, phone call, and email I had that was related, and unrelated to this case. She was encouraging to myself and my daughter. Because she was persistent with the police, probation, and the District Attorney, a case was charged against my daughter's attacker. I highly recommend Ms. Walsh if you ever need an attorney for a criminal matter.

I hired Katie Walsh to seal my juvenile record of PC 288(a) (lewd act on a minor), after my request had been denied by a Judge and by the Probation Department.

Ms. Walsh got the judge to terminate my son's probation and seal his 2 juvenile cases (Penal Code 288(a) and Penal Code 242) even though he had violated my probation by picking up a new case. By getting his record sealed under penal code 786, it means his arrest never happened and his cases get dismissed and destroyed. If your son or daughter ever get in trouble I highly recommend hiring Katie Walsh.

At a very difficult time in my life I contacted attorney Katie Walsh. I am a teacher and was being harassed/stalked by a parent at my school. I wanted a Restraining Order against this person.

It is with sincere gratitude that I send this recommendation As a parent of a child that was arrested on a Felony Domestic Abuse charge and over 2000 miles away I had to rely on friend of a friends word that you would be able to help us. Those words couldn't have been more accurate and true. This was foreign territory to us. We knew nothing of what to do or who to turn to. You were helpful, understanding and immediately available to get the process moving. With your knowledge and expertise the charges were dismissed within a very short time. You were there every time we called for questions, concerns, and support. You always answered our calls. Working with you has been a pleasure and a bad situation ended with the best outcome possible- charges dismissed. Thank you very much for your attention, concern, support, and expertise.

I really liked having Ms. Walsh as my attorney. She visited me in Juvenile Hall. I was charged with four counts of Robbery (Penal Code 211). This was my 8th juvenile petition. Ms. Walsh got 2 of the robbery charges dismissed, and I only served 30 days in juvenile hall! She was also very supportive and told me I needed new friends, and that I was going down a bad path that would only get worse if i kept up this behavior. I don't want to go back to Juvenile Hall. I would recommend hiring Ms. Walsh if you ever need an juvenile attorney.

My daughter was pulled over arrested for having a Fake ID. After hiring Ms. Walsh my daughter did not have to plead guilty- which would have affected her license status.

We are so pleased with Ms. Walsh- she was kind and patient. She answered every question we had and took pains to encourage our child to move past this. Hire Katie Walsh if your child gets in trouble.

Katie Walsh is the most competent and skilled attorney I've had the pleasure of working with. We hired her as a victim advocate attorney and she not only stood up for the rights of my young niece, she was able to show the courts how remiss the DA was in their lack of proper prosecution of her perpetrator. She got us more justice than we could've hoped for and we could not be more proud than to have had her in our corner. If you need a true advocate in the court system and someone to fight hard on your behalf, Katie is the attorney for you.
