I had Mark Anthony as my attorney on a previous case. Which was a probation violation, he fought hard to get me the very best deal possible which was 180 days. Unfortunately, I had a mishap & got violated again. By chance I ran into him at the court house lobby, he was very friendly & my words to him were “I wish I could afford you I need representation again. “ his words to me were “it won’t cost you a thing just make and app. With my office & we’ll talk. “ you could imagine the relief I felt, I didn’t have any money or where to turn to. Probation was trying to give me 3yrs & wouldn’t budge. He got me down to 2yrs along with all my previous credits & that was a great deal. I am very grateful to him. Thank you Mr. Raimondo

Good place to get help lawyer

Mark was my lawyer in a case that lasted a little over 2 years. During that time he was extremely professional, personable & fought hard to get me the best deal possible which kept me out of prison. Awesome staff as well!

Great place to go worked a miracles for me! Have great staff! Best choice I could have made!

Huge parking space

Was such an easy process with Mark and staff. Didn't have to pay any fines charges where dropped. I recommend this law office to all

I consulted with Mark Anthony Raimondo for a case. His office and staff were very professional, helpful and courteous, opposed to those billboard lawyers. I was able to meet with the attorney in a timely manner and get straight down to business.

I felt like attorney Raimondo was very knowledgeable about my issues, but more importantly I felt like he really sympathized with my situation. He's also very affordable. I continuously refer any friend and family member who need legal services to him because I know first hand they will be well taken care of.

Ok it was ok

Mark Raimondo did an great job with my son's case, if you need a Exceptional lawyer call mark he will get things done.
Thank you

They help a lot and fight for your case until they defeat them i highly recomend anthony for your lawyer if your in an issue.

I went to go see Mr Raimondo for a consultation. He & his office staff were very friendly & courteous to us. I would retain him as a lawyer again & recommend him to anyone who might have questions or need help with something for themselves. I thank Mr Raimondo helping us.

We went to Mark after one of my siblings got into some trouble , it was getting very serious and was facing some time . From the minute we stepped in to his office his staff was friendly and helpful. Once we spoke to Mark he did an excellent job at helping us understand the process and made us feel like we could breath a little. From our experience Mark is a straight shooter he will fight for you and he has reasonable prices . My brother was given a second chance thanks to him and we are so beyond greatful! Thank you Mark

It was my first time getting into trouble and i was very nervous and scared about what was going to happen. When i went to go see Mark he made perfect sense of what would happen and made me very calm about everything. He isn’t all about money and was more than willing to work with me to get through my situation. If what you need is a shark Mark is the best shark there is!

There staff are awesome

I had a family member in need of a good criminal defense lawyer in Bakersfield so I contacted Mark Raimondo based on my own personal knowledge of his expertise in the field. Mark called me right away even though it was a holiday weekend and agreed to meet with me immediately. I escorted my family member and was very impressed with Mark’s insight into the situation and with his honest assessment of what he felt he could do. He immediately took command of the case, filed all the appropriate motions, made sure all appearances were attended and concluded the matter to our satisfaction. He also made sure we were kept apprised of all developments in the case. In short, Mark did an excellent job and even followed up after the case was concluded to let us know that he would keep the case open and seek an expungement once probation was completed. If you are looking for excellent representation from a knowledgeable and caring attorney, Mark is your man. I highly
recommend him.

I have to say Marc is a great lawyer he faught for me to not go to prison. Went to county and probation. I’ll take that any day instead of prison. Reasonable prices and very professional. Definitely keeping his number saved

Could have done more with my case but didn't, he never used the paper i provided as evidence like he said he would and like it said in the agreement his front desk assistants and himself lied to me multiple times just to get me to sign a agreement. Another attorney told me there could have been more done for my case then what was done for mine. I just feel like he just wants your money and will do the least amount of work for anyone's case. I would not recommend him at all.

Now the owner response is someone elses case so idk if they just made up that case they are trying to link me to or if it was an actual case but that was not my case and the name i have on my Google account isn't my actual name.

How embarrassing that he deleted his response, he doesn't like to be wrong.

Mark and his entire staff are very professional, hardworking, and effective.. A team of miracle workers- honestly. Our son is FREE and home thanks to the truth being shown by Mark and his staff. We hired Mark after our son’s case was already set for jury trial. The best offer he received was 14 years in state prison. Many efforts were made to show the DA the truth, but because it was a serious injury/domestic violence case no one would listen. Eventually the jury did. Mark and Taylor conducted about a three week jury trial with our son. Mark appeared to have full control of the trial. The maximum sentence was 18 possible years in prison. After all of the evidence came out, all 12 jurors rejected the DA case and found our son not guilty on all felony charges!!!! Our son was released the same night.

We are so thankful to all of the help, the pep talks/comfort, the solid investigations and all of Mark’s perpetration..

Being faced with such a scary situation, it was very helpful to always have Mark available to get us all through such an ordeal. He never promised us anything other than the truth coming out. I have to say they that their word was bond and our boy is home with another chance of life. Mark, Taylor, Glen, Alex, Lucy, and Bert all made sure of it. We highly recommend them!!

Took care of a very complicated matter. Excellent staff. Highly recommended for future use. Extremely fair prices.

Very professional, intelligent, wise, and dedicated. Reccomend 100%

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.

Ts

Mr. Raimondo was very professional, compassionate, & knowledgeable. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family.

I hired Mark and he was so confident that I wouldn't serve time and the court times did take over a year but the outcome was awesome. He was confident never lost faith in my case. He is a lawyer I would recommend in a heartbeat and use again. (But I hope I never do)

Mark Raimondo was, and is a god-send. From the moment I first contacted him, he assured me everything would turn out fine, and not to sweat it. Our daughter was arrested and received two charges in May while attending the LIB festival in Bakersfield. First, Mark was able to get the felony charge (poss/purchase for sale, narcotic/controlled substance) dismissed. Secondly, and equally important, Mark triumphed in getting the misdemeanor (possess controlled substance) to a dismissal without having to enter a plea. Once the AA/NA meetings and 200 hours of community service is complete, the dismissal will be disposed. Perhaps most important, there will not be a criminal record for our daughter. This was a long, taxing, and upsetting ordeal for our family, yet his re-assurance not once waned. Mark is experienced in his field and apt at establishing rapport with young adults. Mark Raimondo can be trusted to do EXACTLY what he tells you he will do. I know I made the right call, and you will be too.

Very professional. Really care for their clientele. Will set your mind at ease during your first visit..

My husband and I were fortunate to find this amazing team. However, there were some hiccups but they took action and resolved the matter. When we hired them we were living in Dubai and had some illegal issues to be resolved before arriving and after. Mr. Mark , Mr. Alex and there secretary Jasmine were with us every step of the way. Highly recommended them.

Thank u so much for helping me on my case I appreciate it u guys are a awesome teem and very friendly. Thank u so much

Thank you for your good service

Mark Raimondo is a great Bakersfield attorney. He helped our family not only did he do a great job but he was affordable. Our family was really grateful he worked hard and won our case. If you need the best criminal defense attorney Bakersfield, start here.

I’m writing this review on my behalf and my family. I got into some legal trouble last year and I was in need of a lawyer. Mark and his staff at the office were very helpful. I was charged with a Felony charge. From day one Mark told me that he would not recommend anything but a
Misdemeanor. Mark was honest and direct which was what I needed at the time. He always made himself available when I needed to meet up with him and if I had a question to ask his staff they were always willing to help. Through all the hearings even when I was willing to give up Mark inspired me not to quit and he would get me the misdemeanor. I would see him sometimes and I’d be ready to just give up but he wasn’t. Finally, the DA finally gave up. Mark wore them out. And I got a misdemeanor and no jail time. I haven’t written many reviews but I believe when you’re in need of a lawyer and you’re searching for one. I believe it’s good to do some research. Having said that, all I can do is be honest and tell you that Mark is a great lawyer, he saved all my future and is the right person you’ll in your corner when you’re in need of a lawyer. My family and I will always be grateful to Mark and his staff for their help.

Mr Raimondo is the real deal. He fought a case for me over the last six months. His prices were reasonable and his staff always treated me like a real person.

Garbage. A waste of time and money. Last year I got my first DUI with no other infractions (BAC of 0.13 ). I went with this firm because they offered me a reasonable price but it was not worth saving a couple hundreds of dollars.
I spent more time talking to the secretary than anyone else. They wouldn't let me talk to a professional for whatever reason.
I spent two days in jail when they promised I wouldn't at all. After one year, I'm still paying a fine that they barely reduced.

If your thinking of hiring this firm for your legal issues, don't. You're better off with another firm or a public defender.

Long story short, I was being charged with a felony charge, yet awesome Mark Anthony brought my charge down to a misdemeanor, without parole, and no jail time either!! Super blessed. Plus, within a year, if I get good behavior for one year, they will dismiss my case completely. Thank you SO MUCH Mark Anthony Raimondo!!! You saved me from being behind bars!

I recommend Mr. Mark Anthony. He’s great! He knows what he’s doing and he will get it done!!!

The best attorney ive ever delt with. I read a the reviews before we hired Mark. I was skeptical because ive been burbed before. I cannit stress ebougb how he is a godsend. Hekped me out of an i possible.situation with credit for time served. Great staff amd fair prices. Thank yiu Mark!!!

I’m 71 and managed to get myself in trouble quite a few times. So
I’ve felt with a lot of attorney. Mark is absolutely the best criminal defense attorney I’ve ever delt with. Unlike others that are just in it for the money, Mark has true compassion for his clients. He is absolutely the best!

The service I was given was A+.

I got myself into a bad situation, I was looking at prison time and didn't know what to do. I called a few attorneys and got consultations but as soon as they seen and heard that it was a felony their prices doubled. I called Mark's office and got a consultation and immediately felt like Mark was concerned about my case not my bank account. Mark's office staff always greeted me with respect as a person not just a case number. The staff knew my name and always kept up to date. Even after the DA added another felony and raised my bail, Mark fought and got it back to my original bail. Mark didn't waiver but most importantly didn't ask for more money. Mark handled my defense personally and for 18 months fought my case and ultimately got all charges dismissed. Through it all I would call Mark with questions and concerns and he always took the time to answer them on a personal level. I couldn't have chose a better attorney. Thank you Mark for believing in me as person and for your level of expertise in defending me. I would absolutely refer Mark Raimondo to anyone needing a defense attorney.

We needed nothing short of a miracle for my son, he was facing over 10 years in prison when we came to Mr. Raimondo. Mark told us from the first day that this is going to be very very difficult.....my son already had two strikes and a suspended 7 year prison sentence from an older case with a public defender, then he picked up more felony charges. We listened to all of the advice that Mark gave us though well over a year. He absolutely steered us for that time for another chance for my son...Well Mark was able to get my son one last chance and he did not go to state prison.....His prices are very fair and his staff was very helpful. He gave me back my son...I cannot thank him enough...I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a miracle. Thank you Mark

Great lawyer and very kind.

Mr. Raimondo is a great lawyer and he has a great team of people in his office. My son had two cases and was facing time in prison. Mr. Raimondo fought for my son and because of his wisdom, years of experience, and a lot of prayer from family and friends my son received the best outcome possible!! No time in prison!! Thank you Mark for all your hard work and for truly caring about us.

Mr.Raimondo and his office did an exceptional job with my case. I honestly couldnt have asked for a more discerning, hard working, or diligent attorney. I am very grateful for his ingenious work and determination when it comes to helping each and every client. Without Mr. Raimondo I could have lost everything I've worked for in the last two decades. My life would have been in shambles and my reputation down the drain. Thankfully Mr. Raimondo is a spectacular attorney that went over and beyond the work I paid for to prove my innocence. For that I am eternally grateful.

Thankyou so much Mark,
You are more than just a wonderful attorney you have become a great friend as well...

-Rick Medina

This law office did an awesome job on my case. Gave great counsel at a very reasonable price. My charges were all dropped and I believe it was all due to these fine people, thank you!

Mr. Raimondo and his people are the best. He did an excellent job getting my husband out and quick and the charges were dropped.
He worked hard as he promised. He saved my husband. I am out of the country and His people made sure to communicate with me all the time. I do recommend him 1000%. He really is the best!!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Raimondo so much for help us to get our life back.

Mark Anthony Raimondo and his staff are hands down the best. He truly cares about his clients. He fought my case years ago & years after he still contiues to help. If you want a lawyer that actually cares about your case get Raimondo affordable and the best around.

I had 1 felony and 2 misdemeanors and they was affecting my job search and my family. I looked and priced around and went to mark Anthony and he was very welcoming and open and said not to worrie, I never had to go to court or anything and he cleared my whole record!!.... the price he gave me was amazing I thought it was going to be expensive but it was very reasonable I will always go back to his office they are amazing I strongly recommend them!!!! Every time I had a question even if it seemed silly or not they was always happy to answer and walk me thru it

Absolutely great attorney. Managed to get me out of prison with probation, community service and a minimal fine. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the future

This lawyer is wonderful he got 5 felonys to 1 misdemeanor I would recommend him to anyone. He's on time to court and communicates very well with his customers very happy come out thank you so much!!!
Sincerely castillo family

We had a great experience his staff is great and so is he solved my problem quick he is an awesome lawyer i would definitely recommend him.

Had a great experience with the law office of mark anthony exceeded my expectations and for a great price super friendly and helpful staff as well

I had a lot on the line when I hired Mark’s firm. He and his associate Jennifer Dunlap got my case rightfully dismissed. I, at one point got a little nervous about the situation. Mark called me into his office with practically his entire staff and talked to me as if I was a personal friend he had known for years. He wanted me to rest assured that not only he, but all those people in that room were on my side. Mark is very charismatic and good at his job. I highly recommend Mark and his associate Jennifer Dunlap if you want aggressive representation and a staff committed to the best outcome possible.

Mark and his staff did an excellent job at defending me on a felony assault case with great bodily injury. I was facing 7 years in prison for defending myself from a highly intoxicated and aggressive group of men in their 20's. The cops and DA completely ignored the evidence, their intoxication, their blatant lies, all common sense and my clean record. The more holes we exposed in their case only resulted in lower and lower offers. But I was 100% not guilty. And the only choice was to go to trial, bc I was not pleading guilty to something where I was the victim. Mr raimondo personally conducted the trial and for a fair and honest price. I never felt like I was a number or a pay check to him or his superb staff. The jury trial was two weeks long and 9 jurors voted not guilty. The other three just believed that lying BPD officer, and that someone had to pay for the injury that one guy had. So it was a hung jury. Even though I only retained mark for 1 trial and it was way longer than expected, he did not charge me anything to keep the case and see if they really wanted to do It again. Two months later on the day of the 2nd trial the DA finally dismissed the case. All along mr raimondo inspired me, believed in me, fought for me, and saw me from start to finish through the absolutely scariest and most frustrating thing imaginable. I could not imagine how scary this whole process is, how no one cares about facts. Once it's filed is all about what will you take. Mr raimondo saved my freedom, and my reputation.. I cannot stress enough how much he helped me. He's the real deal not just some guy with a fancy billboard or website. I highly recommend him.. highly.

Plain and simple I believe if I would have gone with someone else I'd be locked up right now.

The Office of Mark Anthony Raimondo is very professional on all levels. Rarely have I experienced service in which I could put my total trust into a professional service, especially given the sensitivity of my case. I called, paid my retainer fee, and almost put the case on cruise control.

The man gets great results, had a felony reduced to misdemeanor w/ no jail time

Mr. Raminondo's law office handles some of our business needs and is always prompt, helpful and professional in helping our business grow. 5 star service. I recommend them unconditionally

Mark Raimondo and his staff have been amazing. They went above and beyond in our situation and I would absolutely refer Mark Raimondo to my friends and family.

Great lawyer would really recommend him!!!!

I had two old warrants that I was scared to take care of. I called several other attorneys in Bakersfield and their prices were just crazy. I was referred to Mark through a friend. He was honest and upfront with me about my legal issues. He genuinely seemed to care. Mr Raimondo was able to clear my warrants in a few days and resolve my cases very fairly. I recommend him to anyone needing a real lawyer who really cares.

I enlisted Marks help with cleaning up some old cases from the past. The work was done professionally and efficiently, with the desired outcome.. Mark and his staff we're very courteous, respectful and understanding. Very positive experience and would highly recommend Mark for any legal help you may need.

As a former defense attorney I know what it takes to be effective: hard work, intellect, and a high level of integrity.

I have known Mark for a decade and he has ALWAYS exemplified these qualities. That's why I refer close friends and even my family to him. He consistently over performs.

I recommend him unconditionally.

I sought Mark when he was first starting his practice. Since, he has helped family members to gain successful outcomes in times of uncertainty. His office staff has always been professional & friendly treating you like family at every visit. If you call or vice versa they are aware of who you are & your case. They make sure you are aware of every step that they wish to take & your wellbeing is always their first priority! Mark'sprofessionalism to his staff, other clients in the office is always extremely impeccable. He's presence in the court room is always professional, organized, prepared & focused on his clients best outcome. He compassion, education & years of experience makes him a leader in the courtroom towards his clients, colleagues & his ability to know the law and reach the goal he sets out for his clients well being at all times. I truly believe his ability to put the client first is the reason why he is Recommended by his peers.

A few months ago I was on jury duty on a case Mr Raimondo defended. A local teacher who was being charged with a very serious felony charge. Mr Raimondo was an amazing advocate for his client. It was clear to all of us on the jury his genuine belief in his client, his command of the court, and his like ability. What an advocate!! If anyone I know was ever in trouble I know who I would call. What started as a waste of my time turned into an eye-opening experience.

In 2014 Mark defended me in a felony evading, felony evading wrong side of the road, D.U.I, and U.I,and 2 other cases in muni court. I was looking a potential 9 years in prison, i also have 3 prison priors, and County commitments also. In the past i have had high priced attorney's that seem to just take my money and get me locked up. I followed every suggestion Mark gave me as far as helping my case, this case went on for about a year, during that time Mark would say to pray for a miracle, i was with the Salvation Army at that time so it was easy to ask for prayer, even the counselors there said i would most likely do some time in prison or jail, i didn't do a day in prison or jail. THANKS to GOD, Mark and his Staff.

Mark Anthony Raimondo was recommended very highly. He immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease. He treated us like we were family. Mark outlined exactly what to expect and what he could do for us. He more than exceeded all of our expectations! He was able to work a miracle in the legal system. Mark was able to get all charges dropped for a major felony charge. We would highly recommend Mark Anthony Raimondo without reservation for any criminal case.

My father needed a attorney for multiple false serious charges that were filed against him. So I knew that he was going to need a excellent attorney. I must have met with so many in kern county. But when I found Mark and read his reviews and spoke to him over the phone and explained my fathers situation, (multiple felony charges ) he immediately showed genuine concern and sympathy for our situation. When we met up at his office. His staff was extremely kind and attentive to our needs. As we waited very shortly for Mark to attend us in his office. I assumed that he was going to be very expensive do to his very nice office, friendly staff, and his experience that I had read about. After he explained his plans, I was happily surprised how affordable his quote was. My family and I didn't give it a second thought to hire Mark. After several hearings in court. Mark was amazing and was able to get my fathers serious charges dismissed. He is by far the best attorney you could ever hire and very reasonably affordable. Best of all, HE CARES about you. Thank you Mark so much for taking excellent care of us and treating us like family.

While nothing is guaranteed in the legal system, Mr. Raimondo provides phenomenal service from the consultation onward, helping make a truly overwhelming process go as smoothly as possibly. He saved a family friend from some very serious felony charges, getting a great deal that avoided all jail time. Mr. Raimondo and his team were always available to answer any and every question and really made sure we were informed at every stage of what was happening. Not only is he affordable (and worth every penny), he's an indispensable advocate to have for any kind of serious trouble you or a loved one might be facing. Mr. Raimondo offers the best criminal defense, hands down.

I spoke to many lawyers in Bakersfield before going with Mark. I was charged with assault with great bodily injury over a year ago and Mark was with me the entire time. The reasons I went with Mark is because he made me feel comfortable and at ease with the case when I was worried about losing my job and tarnishing my reputation. I could see he was being a genuine person who cared a listened to what i was saying. Other lawyers wanted to talk about money right off the back. Mark was thorough when asking questions and understanding the situation I was in. He always had suggestions and advice and kept me informed about what was happening next. I felt like I could contribute to my own case and be part of the process. During the trial it seemed like he was a step ahead of the district attorney and fought hard to get every detail of the case included into my defense. Mark and his defense team are all well trained and know many people in the courts. His knowledge and experience showed when he spoke to the judges, DA, jury, witnesses and defendant. One thing that impressed me the most is how quick he thinks on his feet. He always knew the laws and the DA was never able to take advantage of any situation. His professionalism was also a huge deciding factor in my case and with the jury. The judge and jury all respected his presence in the courtroom. Lastly, he was worth every penny you spend. He never made me feel like I was being taken advantage of financially. That made a big difference in easing my level of stress during the entire trial. In the end I was found unanimously not guilty. If you need help schedule a consultation and you will see. Thank you Mark.

I couldn't of Asked for a more hard-working, dedicated and knowledgeable group of professionals. Mark and his staff put me at ease, always made me feel comfortable and assured me of an positive outcome.

Mark A. Raimondo is a very good Felony trial lawyer. I highly recommend his services.

I hired Mr. Raimondo to fight for me. I was involved in a case that carried a possible 16 years exposure risk and it would have included two strikes against my record. I very seriously thought my life was coming to an end.

Whilst consulting for lawyers that were in my price range I came across what for the most part seemed like con-artists and snake oil salesman. Then there were the others that seemed trustworthy and had the experience needed for my case, however their prices were astronomical.
When I consulted with Mr. Raimondo he was very blunt and honest with me. He was not trying to sell me anything other than what that he thought was possible. I appreciated his no bull approach and his confidence. His prices were very fair. He and his staff really reduced my stress of being in a position of not knowing what to do. They gave me confidence. The end result was no prison or jail time. I received Probation and community service with some fines. Considering the weight of my case, I am more than satisfied with his abilities and service.

Again, I am very thankful for his service and highly recommend him, especially for felony trials. He has the experience and intelligence combined with the caring and compassion to help those people who really need help. He is a lawyer who will fight and plead a worthy defense for you.

Our experience with Mark Raimondo and his staff was very pleasant. Mark and Jennifer went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable with every decision. They did a remarkable job getting my sons case dismissed! I would definitely refer anyone to Mark Raimondo's law office.

mark is a great lawyer. I really dont know how my life would be at this moment if I didnt get his help. i refer mark every chance I get

There are a few things that are important to have, a great lawyer is one of them. I secured Mr. Raimondo's legal counsel after being wrongfully charged in a case that would definitely alter my life. After securing his counsel, at one the best rates in town I might add, he immediately set in motion the most efficient legal team I have ever worked with. His candor, comfort and knowledge instantly comforted me and my family. Throughout the execution of me case he doggedly pursued the truth and exposed numerous fallacies. Try this on for size. After a brief conference with the prosecuting attorney he decided that in the interest of justice my case didn't merit much attention. He was able to turn a mountain into flat ground. My case is a non-issue and I couldn't be more pleased. If you ever need legal counsel that is an iron fist in a silk glove, he's your man. Mark A. Raimondo is that great lawyer you want on your side.

I hired Mr. Raimondo to handle my case where I was charged with Assault with Deadly Weapon and Brandishing a Knife. These felony charges were being alleged from my ex-wife's new boyfriend. As you can imagine there was a lot of background information that was being ignored by the police, the courts and the DA. Although Mark tried very hard for several months, we were unable to get the case dismissed at the pretrial stage. I did nothing wrong, and was not going to lay down for this charge no matter what. I choose to further hire Mark to conduct the jury trial. Prior to the case actually being sent out to a trial, Mark was able to get me an offer of a conditional dismissal, where all I had to do was to not get into any more trouble for a set period of time and complete some classes. But still I did nothing wrong, and Mark explained to me the trial process and the presumption of innocence. Mark met with me and explained the offer and even offered to waive his full trial fee if I felt that I wanted to take the final deal. I did not want to take anything, but I did appreciate that Mr. Raimondo was very honest with me with giving me the opportunity to make that decision prior him collecting his trial fee. At all stages I felt Mr. Raimondo was very honest, fair, smart and genuinely cared about me and my long term situation. He never backed down. His fees all the way through were very reasonable and I was able to make payments along the way. We were sent out to trial last week. I was impressed with his trial motions and he seemed to have the DA talking in circles. Even the judge started the trial out with what seemed to me was a warning to the DA, something like, "I’ve known Mr. Raimondo a very long time, we have tried several cases together when I was still a lawyer, actually many of the reasons I am judge today was because of my relationship with Mr. Raimondo.” I do not know exactly what happened, but we came back Monday to start picking a jury, I guess the DA saw the light. The DA moved to MOTION TO DISMISS... I cannot thank Mr. Raimondo and his staff enough for believing in me, and caring about my case and my life. I highly recommended him.
