mark help me to remove my DUI and some old records I had thank you for helping me you did a nice job and well hire you again and hardly recommend you thank you for your help

I was 23 when this situation occurred. I was coming home after a graveyard shift to find my daughter awake at 5 in the morning with her mother and a man I had never met inside my home. Drugs on the table and both of them belligerently drunk. The stranger made threatening advances and one thing led to another and I ended up fearing for my life and shooting him twice. I have never found myself in any serious legal trouble before this incident but I was later charged with 2 felonies (assault with a deadly weapon, intent to terrorize). I had one and only one offer for the majority of 4 years. The court's offer was flat out 7 years in prison. The situation being as serious as it was I knew I needed the best lawyer by my side regardless of charge or distance. I spent many hours scouring reviews and online results of every local lawyer in Bakersfield and Mark definitely stood out from the crowd. Results don't lie and Mark's price wasn't any more than any other lawyer of his caliber. I knew from our very first meeting that I had made a great choice and instantly retained him, and so our 4 year journey began. Mark's a master of his craft and knows all the ins and outs of the court system. My case was dragged on for four years in my favor. With COVID-19 all major courts processes were slowed down for nearly two years. I believe this case was not a race but a slow and steady marathon. Although you may want your case done as quickly as possible, which can certainly happen.. I felt Mark's ability to drag my case out until the perfect timing was a game changer. Some lawyers want to get you in and out and wipe their hands clean of your case, but Mark was willing to stay patient and diligent and work with me long term which I greatly appreciated. His staff was always helpful and informative through the whole process. There were no hidden fees or agendas and they always made me feel confident in everything they helped with. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago and my prayers have been answered. The day before trial was set I accepted a miraculous new offer which I was so happy to accept. Mark's work paid off and he was able to get the DA to offer me NO FELONIES, 1 MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT THAT WILL BE DISMISSED WITHIN A YEAR. This means I was put in a horrible situation that I felt I needed to use deadly force and I shot someone, got charged with 2 major felonies, was facing 7 years in prison, and Mark somehow got me sentenced with the same charge as someone could receive for a street fight! If you're reading this, look no further. When you are dealing with your life on the line you don't have any room to leave this up for chance. You need a strong, experienced, reputable lawyer, who will stay by your side no matter how long it takes and will give you the confidence and relief you need during your difficult times.

I recommend The Law Office of Mark Anthony Raimondo, they were able to dismiss my case. From the desk lady to all of team involved in this firm, they are there to help you with whatever you are going through. ALEX SELMAN you are the man, thank you for dismissing my case.

I would highly recommend Mark Anthony Raimondo if you or someone you care about is in need of a criminal defense attorney. Mark and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely care about not only their clients but their families as well. From day one Mark took the time to explain what was going on and continued to work hard even through the delays and constraints as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. His fees are extremely reasonable and you will be getting the best.

I love the service provided by Alex Selman. He did my motion hearing and the serious felony charges were entirely dismissed. This is a huge blessing for me because now i have my life back and Alex reassured me that everything was going to be okay! I have trust in you guys!

Both my husband and I are adoptive parents to our 3 teenage grandchildren and were arrested for felony child abuse. We were devastated! The police didn’t hear us, they arrested us based on a story by a 12 year old who was mad at us. At 62 years old I never had any brush with the law whatsoever; I was scared! Meeting Mark Raimondo for the first time was reassuring; he was confident that we would not be charged with a felony. We ended up getting charged with a misdemeanor that Mark got dismissed. I am so grateful and relieved. The money we spent was worth being able to sleep at night. I was scared to leave my house for fear that I might even get pulled over for a traffic violation. I now feel that I have a new start to rebuild myself and our family. Thank you, Mark!

My father got into trouble with the law and was faced with 1st degree murder charges and conspiracy along with other ones. My father continued with his insisting his innocence. After checking out 1 attorney who wanted an outrageous retainer fee someone recommended Mark I met with him and his staff that day and retained him also that same day... That night he went and visited my father and started his case. He too believed my fathers innocence... Mark worked with me with getting the money to pay him... Needless to say 6 years later and my father has been out of prison for a year and a half already and it is all thanks to Mark and his staff for their hard work...

Alex handled my case, I was charged with a misdemeanor and he got everything dropped for me! :) great attorney would definitely recommend always! Thank you.

My fiancé and I were very lucky to find Mr.Raimondo. He is a god send. My fiancé‘s child’s mother lied and had felony charges brought against my fiancé due to her losing full custody of their daughter. After calling numerous other attorneys and them asking for way too much. I found Mr. Raimondo online, I emailed him the situation and he responded back telling me to make an appointment with his office for a free consultation. I called and his friendly staff got us in right away. My fiancé and I explained the situation to him and that these charges are false due to a current custody battle going on. He really cared and listened to us. He gave us best and worst case scenario and his fee for retaining him. My fiancé and I were really nervous at this point. Once he told us the fee we were a ecstatic, we couldn’t believe it. He was so reasonable we retained him the next day. He said he should be able to have this dismissed, worst case misdemeanor no jail time. The first court appearance was the arraignment. The next court appearance one month later CASE DISMISSED! I commend Mr. Raimondo he is the best Attorney in Bakersfield he and his staff are friendly and professional and he is affordably priced. He does not make guarantees, he gives it to you straight. We recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney. Thank you so much Mark Raimondo. We appreciate everything you have done for our family.

Mark is an outstanding attorney. He has an in-depth knowledge of the law and an exceptional ability to access the facts of an issue and design meticulous, fair and comprehensive representation. Mark is a professional who is not only brilliant, but a humble. He is the rare combination of scholar and intellect yet represents his clients with rigorous strength in his straight-forward precise knowledge of the law. When I was in a difficult position, Mark took the reins and brought the matter to a swift conclusion in my favor – the law was on our side and Mark proved it. He is truly a remarkable individual and professional. His staff is likewise professional and incredibly helpful.

I hired Mark back in 2013 when I was falsely arrested for a DUI when the person I was driving with was the one driving not me. The DMV wanted to put this DUI charge on my license. Mark not only won my case but he proved that I was not the one driving my car. The eye witness that the police supposedly had was none other than the aunt of the girl who was driving my car and she slipped up by saying her niece would never lie. So my innocence was proven based off the fact that Mark did his research, went above and beyond to get all facts in order and even found out the eye witness was the girl’s aunt and she was lying for her niece. Mark even went out of his way to make sure my record was sealed and destroyed as he proved me innocent. I’d recommend anyone to contact Mark whenever you need someone to back you up because I can guarantee you he will go above and beyond to make sure you get a fair trial. He really is truly a respectable well educated lawyer that knows exactly what he is doing. Thanks for your help Mark! You have been a life savor!!

My lawyer Alex Spelman did everything he said he was gonna to do. Always kept me in the loop with everything. Misdemeanor all the way down to infraction and a small fine no probation nothing on my record.
