    - Rob B.
    “Mr. Thompson and his team worked relentlessly to get my husband's case dismissed.”

    My husband hired Jared Thompson to defend him against bogus charges. Their price was affordable and well worth the work they put in. Even though the DA's office was not helpful and kept delaying the case over and over, Mr. Thompson and his team never gave up. It was finally dismissed and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

    “Kyle is knowledgeable and an awesome attorney.”

    His experience and knowing what to do helped and he has wisdom in sharing and saying the right thing to calm you in whatever you are going through. At times I was talked to as if I knew the law but when questioned what he was talking about he would take the time to explain. He is a very busy man so it seemed like he was hurried but would come back to explain. Happy with the outcome and glad that we were able to find a great attorney.

Have Questions?

  • What is the difference between burglary and robbery?
    Burglary involves unlawfully entering a structure with the intent to commit theft or another crime. Robbery, on the other hand, involves taking property directly from a person using force or intimidation. While burglary is categorized as a property crime, robbery is considered a violent crime due to the element of force.
  • Can property crime charges be expunged in California?
    In some cases, property crime convictions can be expunged from your record if you meet specific eligibility criteria. Typically, this requires completing all sentencing requirements, such as probation, and avoiding additional criminal charges during the probation period. Consult a property crime lawyer in Bakersfield, CA, to determine your eligibility for expungement.
  • What should I do if I am falsely accused of a property crime?

    If you are falsely accused, it is critical to remain calm and refrain from discussing the case without an attorney. Gather any evidence or documentation that supports your innocence, and contact a skilled defense lawyer immediately. A property crime attorney can help investigate the allegations and advocate on your behalf to clear your name.

  • How long do property crime cases take to resolve?
    The timeline for resolving a property crime case depends on various factors, including the complexity of the charges, the strength of the evidence, and whether the case goes to trial. An attorney can provide an estimated timeline after reviewing the details of your case.
  • Are there alternative sentencing options for property crimes?
    Yes, in some cases, alternative sentencing options such as community service, restitution, or diversion programs may be available. These options often depend on the severity of the crime, the defendant’s criminal history, and other mitigating factors. Your attorney can work to negotiate alternative sentencing on your behalf.
