Bakersfield owes its name to former California State Senator Thomas Baker, a land surveyor who helped his fellow pioneers establish a community on the Kern river. Like many other California towns, Bakersfield became a city during the Great Depression, when refugees from the Midwest came to California in search of a better life and new opportunities.

Bakersfield attorneys can assist you in a variety of capacities, including criminal law, personal injury, bankruptcy, real estate transactions, divorce law, and many others. Bakersfield attorneys recently settled a $24.3 million lawsuit against the same PG&E plant in Hinkley, California that was made famous in the movie Erin Brokovich. The poisoned groundwater was responsible for the deaths of several people and the poisoning of hundreds more, but Ms. Brokovich’s original lawsuit left out almost 100 injured plaintiffs. Although it took 8 years, Bakersfield lawyers succeeded in compensating the people who got left out.
