What Does a Kern County Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
A criminal defense lawyer plays a critical role in protecting the rights of individuals accused of crimes. Our primary responsibility is to build a strategic defense tailored to the details of your case. This includes analyzing the charges, investigating evidence, and identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. We also work to help you understand your legal options and guide you through each step of the process.
Beyond advising and defending you in court, we also negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or plea deals when appropriate. If the case goes to trial, we can represent you aggressively, cross-examining witnesses and presenting evidence that supports your defense.

Due to the distance away from the Bakersfield area I was able to deal with the firm by phone and email. Phone service was very timely and they made me feel comfortable. If needed, I would use their services again and recommend this law office.

I had an amazing experience with Kyle! He is a straight shooter and that was crucial for me to hear. I was able to keep all my rights, get my case dismissed and that was huge for me! Kyle was able to take a bad situation for our family and deliver results that allowed us to move forward and grow. I highly recommend Kyle and his team!

Needed a lawyer for our juvenile son for a felony assault case. Public defender was not very helpful and told us that at best our son would be on a very intensive probation for years if not sentenced to a camp. Rob Singh took our case and basically got everything resolved outside of court with the prosecutor within 2 weeks. Alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety by getting our son on a very minimal probation for 6 months and then records completely sealed. Highly recommended and would definitely hire this firm again.- Erik S.

- Tina H.
My son was wrongfully accused and charged with assault. I hired Mr. Humphrey to represent him because I heard he was the best and as my son is 19 years old, I did not want this bogus charge going on his record. Mr. Humphrey did an excellent job of representing my son from day one. I am happy to say that the charges were dropped and the case was dismissed. I HIGHLY recommend Kyle J. Humphrey.
