About Stephen D.
Stephen D. Klarich earned his law degree from Western State College of Law at Argosy University in 1981. He completed undergraduate studies at Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1978. He was admitted to the California bar the same year he graduated from law school and carries bar number 100728. He is also admitted to practice before the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
Klarich began his professional career in private practice in 1981. He joined Wallin & Klarich, A Law Corporation as a partner that year and has been associated with the firm across multiple offices. Those offices include the firm’s corporate location and regional offices in Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego. Over decades at the firm he maintained a leadership role and worked alongside colleagues handling matters filed in the state and federal systems where he was admitted.
Outside courtroom admissions, he has remained active in several professional organizations. His memberships include the American Bar Association, the Orange County Bar Association and the Western San Bernardino County Bar Association. He is also part of the California Teacher’s Association Staff Lawyer membership. These affiliations have provided professional connections across county and statewide bar communities. His standing in the bar registers shows a license status of resigned, and public records list his admission year as 1981.
Klarich’s public career record is grounded in steady firm service rather than public-facing academic posts or widely publicized appellate decisions. He sustained a long tenure at a single corporate law office and worked across the firm’s regional locations. That pattern defined much of his professional life: steady firm engagement, bar memberships at the local and national level, and registrations to practice in both state and selected federal court. His current practice focuses on his role at Wallin & Klarich, A Law Corporation.
