 Currently he is based in Calgary, Alberta, at the firm of Wolch, de Wit, Silverberg & Watts. Wolch is general counsel to Tarrabain & Company, a law firm in Edmonton, Alberta.

Wolch is best known for acting on behalf of the wrongly convicted, including: David Milgaard, Steven Truscott, Kyle Unger, Herman Kaglik, Steven Kaminski, and David Richardson.
Wolch gained high-profile attention in 1997 when his client, David Milgaard, was cleared by DNA evidence after serving 23 years in prison for the murder of Gail Miller, a Saskatoon nursing aide found murdered in 1969.

In January 1978, he was called in as a hostage negotiator, when a British Columbian gunman Bruce Archer took three hostages in a Doctor's Office after killing an RCMP officer in a motel shoot-out where he shot 3 police officers in a small rural village of around 300 inhabitants. Archer and his accomplice both surrendered themselves.
In 1982 two guards at Stony Mountain Penitentiary in Manitoba were taken hostage by multiple prisoners, including three convicted killers. The incident lasted approximately 39 hours. Wolch successfully negotiated the safe release of the hostages from inside the prison.

Wolch represented the Assembly of First Nations at the Manitoba Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, investigating concerns that racism and social factors were prejudicing Aboriginals within the justice system, particularly in response to public outrage following the death of aboriginal leader J.J. Harper at the hands of police, and the flawed investigation into the murder of Helen Betty Osborne at the hands of white teenagers.

He again represented the Assembly of First Nations at the Alberta Jacobs Inquiry, following cries of racism when veteran RCMP officer D. Voller shot and killed Connie Jacobs, a mother standing beside her children, also consequently killing her 9 year old son.
