    “A very professional, friendly, and caring office!”

    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.

    - Randy K.
    “Kyle took the time to listen to me and my wife about our situation and provide valuable feedback.”

    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!

    - KC A.
    “I’m thankful and appreciative of them for fighting for my son!!”

    IF you are caught in a bad situation in life and are looking for a Lawyer and investigator to fight, do their job well in fighting to prove your innocence in your case, you need Kyle and Victor on your side!!!

    - Rena B.
    “As soon as we hired this law firm everything changed.”
    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.
    “They treated us with respect and protected my dignity.”

    Mr Humphrey and his staff we nothing short of amazing to me and my family. 

    - Jason G.
    “I truly believe Kyle Humphrey made all the difference in the outcome of this case and my son's record is clean.”

    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.

    - Tina H.
    “Mr. Thompson is the most honest and hardworking lawyer I have ever come across.”

    He was straight forward, informative, and very easy to work with from inception to completion. I strongly suggest reaching out to Mr Thompson should you need the services offered by his office!

    - Rob B.
    “Beyond impressed with the expertise and professionalism shown on behalf of Humphrey and Thompson.”

    The process was easy and they made it so that I didn't have to appear in court. I highly recommended them!

    - Aimee G.
