Bakersfield Criminal Lawyers

A BakersfieldCriminalLawyers.com directory of private criminal-defense attorneys with Bakersfield offices.

About This Directory

This page lists private Bakersfield attorneys whose California State Bar profiles or attorney listings indicated an active license and a criminal-law or criminal-defense connection. Public defenders, prosecutors, court employees, deceased attorneys, disbarred attorneys, and attorneys whose primary public practice appeared to be outside Bakersfield were removed.

Practice areas below are based mainly on California State Bar self-reported practice-area fields. The State Bar does not verify the accuracy of self-reported practice areas and does not guarantee experience or competence in those areas. Always verify directly before hiring anyone. Google review ratings are included only where a public listing showing a Google review count was found, and ratings can change.

Last reviewed: June 4, 2026.

Disclaimer

This directory is for public information only. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer referral service, and not an endorsement or ranking of any attorney. No attorney-client relationship is created by viewing this page. You should independently verify each attorney’s current license status, discipline history, certified-specialist status, review rating, case experience, fees, availability, and suitability for your matter.

How to Use This Directory

Before hiring any criminal-defense attorney, confirm the lawyer’s current status with the California State Bar, ask whether the lawyer personally handles criminal cases in Kern County Superior Court, ask about recent experience with the specific charge involved, and request a written fee agreement. If a discipline warning appears above, review the State Bar profile and any related State Bar Court information before making a hiring decision.
