Biography
My calling to the law came in 1980, as I was in Junior High School. In the middle of the school day, I was called to the office and escorted to the conference room where two Bakersfield Police Investigators were very friendly and asked if I would answer questions regarding events that took place the prior weekend. As my heart began pounding out of my chest, and specifically feeling intimidated to say yes. It is important to note, that I was not intimidated by the police asking me where I was this past Friday, and whether I had any knowledge as to where my brother could have been on the Friday in question (my brother is 7 years older). In short, a murder had occurred and the only person identified was leaving in an automobile, that could have been one of six vehicles in Kern County, one which was registered to my brother. As I sat for a moment, I froze, and could not remember anything or any event that happened the prior weekend. I’ll never forget the look of terror in my parents face as I rushed in the door from school, and my brother had already been detained and taken downtown for questioning.
The most difficult step in the legal process was my family did not have the financial means to hire an attorney. Due to this situation, my parents could only worry about their son serving the rest of his life in prison. A witness came forward and made a definite determination that my brother was not the individual involved, and the actual culprit was arrested a week later. From that point on, I never wanted to be in a position to have no understanding of the law, and help those to the best of my ability, when others find themselves needing a simple consultation just for peace of mind. I have been given the opportunity to help people in the same exact position as my parents, and that is a truly satisfying feeling. The Law Office of B.
