Appeals Attorney in Delano
More Than 5,000 Criminal Cases Inform Our Approach to Appeals
A criminal appeal asks a reviewing court to determine whether legal, procedural, or constitutional errors affected the judgment. It isn’t a second trial or an opportunity to present the facts again. We examine the challenged ruling, available trial record, and applicable law to identify potentially reviewable issues.
Those issues may involve evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, sentencing errors, constitutional violations, or procedures that didn’t comply with California law. Because filing deadlines depend on the judgment, order, and type of case, prompt review is critical. Our appeal lawyers serve clients in Delano and throughout Kern County.
Request an initial assessment with our Delano appeals lawyers by calling (661) 760-7678. Bring any judgment, sentencing paperwork, court notices, and information about upcoming deadlines.
Strategic Lawyers Certified in Criminal Law
Appellate work calls for careful record analysis, focused legal research, persuasive written briefing, and strict compliance with court rules. You’ll work directly with Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Thompson rather than having your case passed through a large-firm structure. We explain what the record contains, which issues may be reviewable, and what procedural steps may follow.
Our attorneys are certified by the State Bar of California in criminal law. We’ve handled more than 5,000 criminal defense cases over decades of practice, including jury trials and proceedings in state and federal criminal courts. That experience informs our analysis of how objections, rulings, jury instructions, and sentencing decisions developed in the lower court.
Our review may include:
- Identifying the challenged decision: We determine which judgment, sentence, or ruling you want reviewed.
- Analyzing the record: We examine available motions, transcripts, exhibits, instructions, objections, and court rulings.
- Researching potential errors: We evaluate relevant statutes, constitutional principles, and case law.
- Explaining the process: We provide clear updates about deadlines, briefing, and the next procedural stage.
Clear Answers and Responsive Communication During Your Appeal
When you’re considering an appeal, you need to know who will review the case, which documents matter, and how deadlines will be addressed. We provide direct explanations and timely updates throughout the process. Client testimonials published on our website describe respectful treatment, understandable guidance, and responsive assistance.
Before speaking with an appeals lawyer serving Delano, gather the judgment or order, sentencing documents, court notices, available transcripts, and dates of important rulings. Be prepared to discuss your current custody or supervision status and the specific decision you want reviewed. If some records are missing, you can still make the initial call.

- Joe S.
His experience and knowing what to do helped and he has wisdom in sharing and saying the right thing to calm you in whatever you are going through. At times I was talked to as if I knew the law but when questioned what he was talking about he would take the time to explain. He is a very busy man so it seemed like he was hurried but would come back to explain. Happy with the outcome and glad that we were able to find a great attorney.

They were very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy.

My husband hired Jared Thompson to defend him against bogus charges. Their price was affordable and well worth the work they put in. Even though the DA's office was not helpful and kept delaying the case over and over, Mr. Thompson and his team never gave up. It was finally dismissed and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

I had an amazing experience with Kyle! He is a straight shooter and that was crucial for me to hear. I was able to keep all my rights, get my case dismissed and that was huge for me! Kyle was able to take a bad situation for our family and deliver results that allowed us to move forward and grow. I highly recommend Kyle and his team!

Jared and his staff, not exaggerating were on top of it all. If I called to talk to the girls in the front they handled everything right away, Jared reputation for being THE BEST matched him perfect. We had issues with the anger management classes and the staff really cared and helped us. Jared helped my son who was facing some serious charges but he genuinely cared about the whole truth and we got blessed tremendously! we are forever grateful and truly couldnt have imagined the outcome had we NOT hired him! Loved them thank you so much sincerely!
