I had a family member in need of a good criminal defense lawyer in Bakersfield so I contacted Mark Raimondo based on my own personal knowledge of his expertise in the field. Mark called me right away even though it was a holiday weekend and agreed to meet with me immediately. I escorted my family member and was very impressed with Mark’s insight into the situation and with his honest assessment of what he felt he could do. He immediately took command of the case, filed all the appropriate motions, made sure all appearances were attended and concluded the matter to our satisfaction. He also made sure we were kept apprised of all developments in the case. In short, Mark did an excellent job and even followed up after the case was concluded to let us know that he would keep the case open and seek an expungement once probation was completed. If you are looking for excellent representation from a knowledgeable and caring attorney, Mark is your man. I highly recommend him.
