Unprofessional, Unresponsive, and Unethical - Avoid at All Costs ​If you are looking for a law firm that prioritizes media appearances over client representation, look no further. My experience with this firm was nothing short of a disaster. ​The level of negligence regarding communication is staggering. I made multiple attempts to reach my legal team, only to be met with total silence or inexcusable delays. It is clear that their time is spent chasing "fame" through interviews regarding past high-profile losses rather than focusing on the active cases of the people currently paying their bills. ​Most alarmingly, this firm demonstrated a complete disregard for attorney-client ethics by entertaining deals with the judge and prosecution without consulting me first. A law firm that makes life-altering decisions behind a client's back is a firm that cannot be trusted. ​With 100% certainty, I would never hire this firm again. In my honest opinion, you would receive more competent, dedicated, and ethical representation from a public defender. Do not waste your money on this "worthless" practice; they are far more interested in their own PR and your money rather than your legal rights. read more

My grandsons mother retained Jessie Whitten to handle some issues for my grandson. Jesse was often late to court and not prepared. After several months we retained a different attorney to handle our grandson's case. Even though it cost more money it was well worth it, a different attorney was able to resolve the issues in a few weeks. read more

Sam Van Eerden and his assistant are amazing. He helped me retain full custody of my children against my ex-husband and get a Move-Away Order granted. I would recommend him to anyone having family law matters. They answered every question I had and Sam personally supported me not just as my lawyer but me being a scared mom and wife who knows nothing of the judicial system. I was so relieved to know Sam was there for my best interests. Thank you so much to Sam and his team. read more

We tried to call for appointment 4 times and they say will call you back. Never did. Horrible

This law office is beyond amazing! I had a situation that I was dealing with, went in for a consolation and instantly knew this law office was perfect. They are compassionate and hard working. I dealt a lot with Kylie who was always on top of paperwork and responded to my emails promptly. Clayton was the attorney who went to court for me. He handled everything and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Thank you Clayton and the rest of the firm! read more

Jesse Whitten handle my case like a pro. I had looked around for a good attorney for some time to no avail. None talked to me like Jesse did. I was tired of the public defender not defending me. I found Jesse and he made everything go away. Very polite and had my back. You get what you pay for. I never had to travel back to Bakersfield. He did it all. Thank you Jesse Whitten read more

As arduous and daunting as the law process can seem, I was very fortunate to have found the services of the Campbell Whitten firm in my time of need. Jesse Whitten represented me in my criminal case and upon my initial meeting with him; his calm and level headed demeanor gave me a sense of peace and put my nerves at ease about the formidable process that lay before me. His patience with his clients helps set him apart from his peers, as he proved to me by constantly taking the time to explain the legal procedures in layman's terms whenever it became too overwhelming or perplexing to understand. He was very dependable and consistent in keeping me informed with each development of my case, along with his planned course of actions and how he was prepared to handle each progression. Mr. Whitten and his team are always very personable by making their clients feel cared for and like family. His exuberating confidence assured me that I was in good hands with my case and the end result went exactly as he had originally planned with me. Mr. Whitten was very professional and trustworthy throughout the entire process and I highly recommend him to anyone with my sincerest gratitude for what he has done for me. read more

Today I called into the Law office of Campbell and Whitten. I had little knowledge of what I was needing or if I was even looking in the right place. Sam Campbell was extremely patient and helpful over the phone as I rambled on about the situation. He then immediately said that he thought it best for me to come in and meet with Clayton Campbell and as I prepared myself for a next week appointment, he asked me, how about today at 1. I was shocked. When I arrived at the office the receptionist was extremely kind and friendly. And when I finally met with Clayton Campbell, he wasn't a lawyer type, that was rushing me or acting like I was taking up his time. He listened, directed me with answers and helped guide me in the right direction. Looked things up on the Internet and broke the lawyer lingo into my terms, so I could understand it clearly. I really want to thank Campbell Whitten for their sincere care for the Kern County people. I wasn't in need of their services, but he helped find me where to go and the kindness and genuine concern was something I truly wasn't expecting. Thank you to the staff and attorneys of Campbell Whitten Law. You guys changed my thoughts on attorneys. And I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a criminal attorney. I hope I never have to use them, but if I did, they'd be who I'd call. read more
