Talk about a worst to best case scenario… Got a speeding ticket between Mammoth & Los Angeles end of May. At that time, learned that my driver’s license had expired ~6 mos prior. Continued to check online to pay the ticket weekly & even called Ridgecrest (Kern) Superior Court on multiple occasions, only to hear that the ticket wasn’t in the system yet. Fast forward to this month (October), still no record, but finally speak to someone who thought to check the misdemeanor records vs the traffic violations & boom, there it was. And now, because I didn’t appear in court, there was a warrant out for me. I reached out to a few lawyers in the area & found John. I immediately felt comfortable with him & knew he was the guy to fight on my behalf. He was the only lawyer to speak my language and he shared his game plan on our first call. Hiring him & Stephanie (his paralegal) was the best decision I could have made. In one week, my case was heard & because of John’s knowledge (of mistakes made) & his diplomacy/relationships, my ticket and warrant were both completely wiped with zero fine, zero points & zero notice to my insurance company. If you find yourself in a similar bind, I completely recommend the Underwood team!

At first, I was a bit skeptical. We even decided to go for a plea just so my son could get out of jail, knowing that he was innocent. Mr. Underwood did not want us to do that. He told us to just hold off for a little bit because he doesn’t want someone charged for something they did not do, so we decided to hold on, and just as Mr. Underwood said our case was dismissed . Thank you Mr. Underwood for all your help.

Great service, made a very stressful situation less stressful so thankful to have found a great supporting lawyer. Was handled very fast and efficient.

I can't say enough great things about Bo Koenig!!! Upon first call he engaged into my case and took initiative towards me and walked me through details as if I was a friend. He does not beat around the bush and is very direct with great communication. He does his homework and has fought for me in any way possible! I am very grateful for how he has handled my case as well as the outcome. I highly recommend this man and his law firm!!!

Mr. Bo Koeing - It's truly challenging to put into words the tremendous dedication this man exhibits in assisting individuals like myself who have made mistakes but are determined to learn from them. Bo not only successfully helped me retain my license but also provided invaluable guidance, maintained unwavering authenticity throughout the process, and remained fully committed to my case, even while juggling numerous other cases concurrently. I wholeheartedly endorse his services! He is undeniably exceptional and the top choice for legal matters in Kern County! -German Taboada

Great service got it handled without me being present if you want a lawyer that gets it done underwood law firm goes above and beyond

Underwood helped me immediately! He handled everything for me, it was such a huge relief knowing that a highly qualified Legal team was actually mine! like they were working for me (it kind of goes to your head a little, like “yes these are my lawyers don’t talk to me talk to them” then when the judge calls your name and out of nowhere here comes JOHN UNDERWOOD walking in, saying “this is my client your honor”, so cool calm and collected, and everyone turns and looks very quickly like who’s that? Everyone’s body language shifts a certain way when a well respected lawyer or person walks in a room, you just know “Oh he’s the man he’s the boss” He just owns the courtroom he knew exactly what to do and had no problem jumping right to work with my case, even tho I already had a warrant, and had missed court, I hired them with such short notice , literally last minute. John Underwood is the kind of lawyer you see on tv, he makes you feel very important, like you do matter, and he knows how the law works like the back of his hand. He’s very well respected in the courtroom, and he has your best interest at heart he will defend you. Plus will work with you through payments. He’s the real deal! Let me tell you, that when I say these other brothers out here, are just a hype, (campbell whitten) sorry to say but they don’t have anything on UNDERWOOD! I know from personal experience the best lawyers, the REAL LAWYERS are these guys here who are out here working for you because you are important to them. They take their job very seriously and you will get “THE BEST TREATMENT hiring JOHN UNDERWOOD for any of your legal matters!”

Mr Underwood’s law firm is extremely respectful and even more compassionate and understanding m. They all seem to have a passion for helping people and listening to you! I am thankful for the help I received with this firm.

Excellent service! Kept me updated with everything, never had to appear in court once. Highly recommend 👌

John Underwood is a brilliant attorney. I had made an irresponsible decision that lead to being arrested and charged with a DUI. I was on the verge of losing everything. John Underwood didn’t see my case as a loss, and quickly settle. He worked diligently and extensively to find a resolution that would satisfy not only my out come, but that of the courts. Simply put John Underwood not only gave me a second chance at life, but save my life. I wouldn’t have survived if it was not for John Underwood. I was able to keep all of my licensing to maintain employment and an income. Since I retained John Underwood as my Attorney I have become a better person not only for myself, but for those around me. John Underwood is the Attorney you want your corner fighting for you when your life and livelihood is on the line. I wouldn’t go with any other Attorney.

My experience with Mr. Underwood and his team was incredible. I was in deep water looking at a strike, 3 violent felonies, and 3 misdemeanors of which 2 were considered violent. The nature of my case is rather simple, a verbal altercation occurred between myself and a man under the influence and next thing I know I get sucker punched. Well, it didn't end well for the assailant and that in turn made me the criminal. After being arrested and seeing my charges I lawyered up immediately. I am not a Bakersfield native, I live in a very small town so I had to find someone that would help me. Enter John Underwood. The very first time I called him I was able to speak with him directly, for about 35 minutes. Understand I was very unnerved, but after that phone call I felt like I could breath again. Mr. Underwood spoke to me calmly and with confidence, assuring me that there was a way out of this mess. We didn't even speak about money until the very end of our call. When we did, he was understanding of my circumstance, and more than fair with pricing. I was allowed to pay in chunks and was given ample time to do so. To wrap things up, months go by as John would make trips to my hometown for my court dates, eventually getting my case pushed down to Bakersfield. The day I appeared for my final court date I was terrified, again. I was called and we were in court for all of 5 minutes and guess what? I walked out with a single misdemeanor, 1 year informal probation, a couple hours of community service. Period. I was supposed to go to prison for at least a year. Nope. Mr. Underwood turned my case into a pillow case. For that I am forever grateful. John treated me like a person when everyone else labeled me a monster. Thank you Underwood Law, love you guys.

Bo is great he has been my attorney for more than one time. Fights to get you the best outcome. I highly recommend him.
