As a young teenager, reading about some of the great lawyers in our nations early history like John Adams and Abraham Lincoln inspired me to be a lawyer.
After graduating from the Oak Brook College of Law I practiced criminal defense on a regular basis during the week and drove all over the western states on weekends. I loved driving, a trait passed on by my father, a Class A driver who always seem to enjoy a good drive even when he already had been putting in long hours.
Soon some of my attorney friends started asking me to defend them on their speeding tickets and telling me that I should start up a practice focused on defending drivers. Now all of my practice is defended on keeping drivers records clean and their insurance rates low.
Over the last ten years of practice, free time has become more difficult to come by. I am the immediate Past President of the Oak Brook College of Law Alumni Association, I also serve on the Board for the Oak Brook College of Law, and I am active in mentoring up and coming law students and lawyers as they work to establish careers.
What has not changed is my love of the open road. We are privileged to live in a land of great freedom and great resources. There are so many places to go and things to do, whether for work or for fun. It is my privilege to defend your right to drive there.

Where do I even begin? I’m not one to write reviews—unless something truly stands out and could make a difference in someone else’s experience. This is most definitely one of those moments. I was cited on the I-5 in California for allegedly going 101 mph. My interaction with the CHP officer was...
"I have known Mr. Bigger for years, and had the pleasure of working with him for a number of years. He knows his stuff, and is a very thorough and competent attorney. You won't regret having him on your side to deal with a speeding ticket."
"I knew Mark long before either of us went to law school. He's a knowledgeable and skilled attorney, and a person you can trust in traffic matters large or small."
"Mark Bigger is an amazing attorney. He's conversant with traffic citations. He dominates Kern County. I had the pleasure of speaking with him regarding a misdemeanor case in Bakersfield. My client had a warrant. He was kind enough to provide me with details. He also sent me an example of a Motion I needed to file. I'm so grateful for Mark."
"It's a pleasure to endorse Mark. His knowledge in traffic and DMV related issues is unparalleled in Kern County and he is the only attorney that I refer traffic cases to."
"Mark provided me with invaluable insight regarding the traffic laws in his jurisdiction. I would not hesitate to call him if I or any of my clients needed his services. I endorse Mark without reservation."
"Attorney Bigger is one of the most knowledgeable, experienced and professional traffic attorneys in the Central Valley. I know my client's are in good hands when Attorney Bigger is on their case. You would be shocked with some of the super results he has been able to get for his clients."
"Mark knows his stuff when it comes to traffic law. Whether it is a commercial trucking ticket, an excessive speed matter, or a DUI, he is the "go-to" guy. If I have clients with a traffic law issue, I refer them to Mark Bigger."
"10 years plus of practicing traffic law defense is what we call experienced. Knowledge of law and procedure in this area is very strong as is evident from his pro bono contributions. Special attention should be given to his stellar client reviews. READ THEM! Do yourself a favor if you are in or near Bakersfield and need a specialist in traffic defense schedule a consultation with Mark first."
