"Mark Anthony Raimondo is an exceptional advocate. I was facing a very difficult legal situation, and he was able to negotiate a plea deal that was far better than I had hoped for. Throughout the process, Mark and his team were professional, transparent, and non-judgmental. Their expertise turned a h...igh-stress experience into a manageable one. If you need a skilled criminal defense attorney in Bakersfield who gets results, I highly recommend this firm."

I was 23 when this situation occurred. I was coming home after a graveyard shift to find my daughter awake at 5 in the morning with her mother and a man I had never met inside my home. Drugs on the table and both of them belligerently drunk. The stranger made threatening advances and one thing led to... another and I ended up fearing for my life and shooting him twice. I have never found myself in any serious legal trouble before this incident but I was later charged with 2 felonies (assault with a deadly weapon, intent to terrorize). I had one and only one offer for the majority of 4 years. The court's offer was flat out 7 years in prison. The situation being as serious as it was I knew I needed the best lawyer by my side regardless of charge or distance. I spent many hours scouring reviews and online results of every local lawyer in Bakersfield and Mark definitely stood out from the crowd. Results don't lie and Mark's price wasn't any more than any other lawyer of his caliber. I knew from our very first meeting that I had made a great choice and instantly retained him, and so our 4 year journey began. Mark's a master of his craft and knows all the ins and outs of the court system. My case was dragged on for four years in my favor. With COVID-19 all major courts processes were slowed down for nearly two years. I believe this case was not a race but a slow and steady marathon. Although you may want your case done as quickly as possible, which can certainly happen.. I felt Mark's ability to drag my case out until the perfect timing was a game changer. Some lawyers want to get you in and out and wipe their hands clean of your case, but Mark was willing to stay patient and diligent and work with me long term which I greatly appreciated. His staff was always helpful and informative through the whole process. There were no hidden fees or agendas and they always made me feel confident in everything they helped with. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago and my prayers have been answered. The day before trial was set I accepted a miraculous new offer which I was so happy to accept. Mark's work paid off and he was able to get the DA to offer me NO FELONIES, 1 MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT THAT WILL BE DISMISSED WITHIN A YEAR. This means I was put in a horrible situation that I felt I needed to use deadly force and I shot someone, got charged with 2 major felonies, was facing 7 years in prison, and Mark somehow got me sentenced with the same charge as someone could receive for a street fight! If you're reading this, look no further. When you are dealing with your life on the line you don't have any room to leave this up for chance. You need a strong, experienced, reputable lawyer, who will stay by your side no matter how long it takes and will give you the confidence and relief you need during your difficult times.

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...

My fiancé and I were very lucky to find Mr.Raimondo. He is a god send. My fiancé‘s child’s mother lied and had felony charges brought against my fiancé due to her losing full custody of their daughter. After calling numerous other attorneys and them asking for way too much. I found Mr. Raimondo onlin...e, I emailed him the situation and he responded back telling me to make an appointment with his office for a free consultation. I called and his friendly staff got us in right away. My fiancé and I explained the situation to him and that these charges are false due to a current custody battle going on. He really cared and listened to us. He gave us best and worst case scenario and his fee for retaining him. My fiancé and I were really nervous at this point. Once he told us the fee we were a ecstatic, we couldn’t believe it. He was so reasonable we retained him the next day. He said he should be able to have this dismissed, worst case misdemeanor no jail time. The first court appearance was the arraignment. The next court appearance one month later CASE DISMISSED! I commend Mr. Raimondo he is the best Attorney in Bakersfield he and his staff are friendly and professional and he is affordably priced. He does not make guarantees, he gives it to you straight. We recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney. Thank you so much Mark Raimondo. We appreciate everything you have done for our family.
