I am incredibly grateful to Attorney Paul Harman. After the court found me "guilty" of a speeding…read moreticket, he got the charge completely dismissed, saving me the fine, points on my license, and an insurance hike. From our first consultation, he was professional, knowledgeable, and clear about his strategy. His expertise in traffic court gave me immediate confidence. His customer service is also excellent--transparent fees, a helpful staff, and he was always accessible. I cannot recommend Attorney Harman highly enough. For an expert in traffic law who fights diligently for the best outcome, he is the one to hire. My experience was flawless.

Found this place after someone I know got a ticket in the Los Banos area and so glad we went with…read morethem because it was such a stress-free process. It was the first time I helped out with hiring a traffic lawyer so I can't really comment on the pricing. But considering that the fine costs way more, I think their pricing is fair for peace of mind since a court appearance was required and we lived 200+ miles away. All communication was through email or phone and they provided lots of updates when they showed up to court. Though we didn't get the results we wanted, they still were able to give the best possible outcome without having anything show up on the record. That was the ultimate goal anyway. Only reason why we didn't give a 5 star was because we thought communication through email could be a little better. Every time we sent an email, we would get little to no response unless we called to follow up. Other than that, I still highly recommend them especially if you get a ticket in the Los Banos/Merced area!

My first review was posted on July 5th. It was not positive but it was honest and it was my…read moreopinion. Mr. Underwood phoned me the following business day and he was quite unhappy. Full disclosure - I was not in the court room as I reside 1,800 miles from Bakersfield. But I personally selected Underwood Law as our representation based on a lengthy and very positive conversation I initially had with Mr. Underwood. Full details were disclosed and his response was extremely optimistic. We moved forward at the tune of $6,000. The optimism remained steadfast throughout all preparatory conversations with the paralegal making it known that she had never lost a case. On the day of our hearing Mr. Underwood suddenly stated to family that was in attendance that we could easily lose this case. We've no idea what caused this turnaround. Perhaps learning who the sitting judge was, perhaps having read the defendant's statement (we've yet to see this), we do not know. The case was lost in a matter of minutes. Back to Mr. Underwood's call regarding my review - we talked. He felt that I had been misinformed and he said he was going to put together a cover letter outlining the sequence of events, a copy of the petition that was filed on our behalf and finally a copy of the defendant's written response. He asked for a couple of days. In all fairness to Underwood Law, I removed my review pending his side of the story. Ten days later, having heard nothing, I inquired as to the disposition of said documentation. I was told that Ms. Medina was going to prepare the file and mail it out. That was 13 days ago and still crickets. It's a puzzling operation they run. Again - just my experience and my opinion. Dissatisfaction with the service of Underwood Law seems even more reasonable at this point.

There are truly no words to fully express how grateful we are for Mr. Thompson and everything he…read moredid for our family. When my son was going through one of the most difficult and frightening times in his life, we felt overwhelmed, scared, and unsure of what the future would hold. From the moment Mr. Thompson took on the case, everything changed. He brought not only a high level of professionalism and legal expertise, but also compassion, reassurance, and genuine care. He treated my son like more than just a case--he treated him like a person whose future truly mattered. He was always available to answer questions, explain the process, and guide us through every step with patience and honesty. During such an emotional time, that kind of support meant more than I can put into words. Because of Mr. Thompson's dedication, hard work, and skill, the outcome of the case was better than we could have ever hoped for. He gave my son a second chance and gave our family peace when we needed it most. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you, stand by you, and truly care about your outcome, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Thompson. We will be forever grateful. Belinda Aguilera

Unprofessional, Unresponsive, and Unethical - Avoid at All Costs…read more​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.

He filed paperwork incorrectly two different times, and both mistakes seriously hurt our case. He also failed to tell us about a scheduled mediation, which caused the judge to become very upset. There was even a court date where he did not show up at all because he went on vacation. He is often unprepared, disorganized, and does not seem to know the details of the case. Multiple judges have expressed frustration with him in court. After hearings, he does not explain what happened or what the next steps are. He usually rushes away and walks past you without saying anything. He may appear cheaper at first, but the work you need will not be done correctly. You will end up spending more money on a new attorney. Please save yourself the stress because you cannot rely on him.
