Comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My father got into trouble with the law and was faced with 1st degree murder charges and conspiracy along with other ones. My father continued with his insisting his innocence. After checking out 1 attorney who wanted an outrageous retainer fee someone recommended Mark I met with him and his staff th...at day and retained him also that same day... That night he went and visited my father and started his case. He too believed my fathers innocence... Mark worked with me with getting the money to pay him... Needless to say 6 years later and my father has been out of prison for a year and a half already and it is all thanks to Mark and his staff for their hard work...

Awesome and friendly

My lawyer Alex Spelman did everything he said he was gonna to do. Always kept me in the loop with everything. Misdemeanor all the way down to infraction and a small fine no probation nothing on my record.

Great lawyer! Great results!

I contacted Mark Raimondo regarding a family member who needed representation based on my personal knowledge of Mark’s expertise in criminal defense and his excellent reputation in the community. Mark called me back immediately (even though it was a hiliday weekend). We met with him in a timely mann...er and he explained what he planned to do and gave us a time frame of how and when he wiuld get it done. Throughout the process, he kept us apprised of what was being done. I as very impressed with his professionalism and caring attitude. In the end, we got an excellent result and Mark even contacted us weeks after the conclusion of the case to let us know that he would keep the case open until probation was concluded and seek an expungement. A great result be a great attorney! I highly recommend Mark Raimondo.

Attempted Attempted Murder/ 3 strike/ Gang Enhancements

When my 25 yr old son was arrested and charged with attempted murder, gun charge, gang and multiple enhancements I was devastated. He already had one strike and with these charges was looking at receiving 2 more strikes making 3 and life in prison. I knew from the first time I talked to Mark that I w...anted him to be our lawyer. After contacting several attorneys I was certain of it. We had limited funds so will forever be grateful to Mark and his wonderful staff for allowing us to make a deposit and payment schedule that we were able to manage and making it possible for us to retain him. Mark said if we went to trial he felt there was a chance he could have it dismissed or at least hang the jury based on the evidence, but if we lost I would never see my son again. The lowest number I had heard up until that point was 35- life. I can't describe the intense fear and horror I was feeling then but also believed I had the right lawyer. I did. The day before my sons prelim Mark called me and told me that we had an offer of 4 years at 66% time. The charges were reduced and a strike dropped and we didn't have to risk my son spending his entire life in prison. God bless you Mark and I thank you with all my heart.

Mark will get the job done right

I spoke to many lawyers in Bakersfield before going with Mark. I was charged with assault with great bodily injury over a year ago and Mark was with me the entire time. The reasons I went with Mark is because he made me feel comfortable and at ease with the case when I was worried about losing my j...ob and tarnishing my reputation. I could see he was being a genuine person who cared a listened to what i was saying. Other lawyers wanted to talk about money right off the back. Mark was thorough when asking questions and understanding the situation I was in. He always had suggestions and advice and kept me informed about what was happening next. I felt like I could contribute to my own case and be part of the process. During the trial it seemed like he was a step ahead of the district attorney and fought hard to get every detail of the case included into my defense. Mark and his defense team are all well trained and know many people in the courts. His knowledge and experience showed when he spoke to the judges, DA, jury, witnesses and defendant. One thing that impressed me the most is how quick he thinks on his feet. He always knew the laws and the DA was never able to take advantage of any situation. His professionalism was also a huge deciding factor in my case and with the jury. The judge and jury all respected his presence in the courtroom. Lastly, he was worth every penny you spend. He never made me feel like I was being taken advantage of financially. That made a big difference in easing my level of stress during the entire trial. If you need help schedule a consultation and you will see. Thank you Mark.
