Traffic Violation Attorney in Delano
State Bar Certified Criminal Law Counsel for Traffic Charges
A traffic citation may allege an infraction, misdemeanor, or felony, depending on the conduct involved and the driver’s circumstances. That distinction can affect driving privileges, employment, court obligations, and even freedom.
We represent Delano drivers who need more than a ticket-payment resource. Our attorneys examine the California Vehicle Code charge, the evidence, and the available paths forward, particularly when an allegation involves reckless driving, hit-and-run, driving with a suspended license, or driving under the influence.
Call (661) 760-7678 or contact us to have our traffic violation lawyers in Delano review your citation, charge, and response deadline.
More Than 5,000 Criminal Cases Handled
Kyle J. Humphrey and Jared M. Thompson are certified in criminal law by the State Bar of California. Our firm has handled more than 5,000 criminal cases, giving us substantial experience analyzing allegations, challenging evidence, negotiating with prosecutors, and preparing for trial.
That figure reflects our broader criminal-defense practice, not traffic-case volume alone. We represent clients in state and federal criminal courts, including jury trials, and bring that courtroom perspective to traffic allegations with criminal consequences.
Traffic Charges That May Require Legal Review
The charge on a citation determines the legal process and potential exposure. An ordinary moving violation may remain an infraction, while more serious conduct may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or felony.
Traffic matters that may require legal review include:
- Moving violations: Speeding and similar violations can involve fines, DMV points, insurance consequences, and questions about traffic-school eligibility.
- Reckless driving: This allegation can carry criminal consequences rather than being treated as a routine ticket.
- Driving with a suspended license: The reason for the suspension, and whether the driver knew about it, may be important to the charge.
- Hit-and-run allegations: These cases may involve disputed identification, knowledge, property damage, or evidence of injury.
- Driving under the influence: A DUI charge can involve criminal proceedings and separate licensing concerns.
A conviction or point assessment may also affect drivers whose employment depends on maintaining driving privileges. The consequences vary by occupation, license type, driving history, and employer requirements.
How We Analyze a Criminal Traffic Charge
Our review starts with the exact charge and the evidence supporting it. We may examine the citation, police report, circumstances of the stop, officer observations, witness accounts, photographs, video, court notices, and relevant driving history.
We handle criminal defense from charge analysis and investigation through negotiations with prosecutors and trial representation. The available paths depend on the evidence, alleged violation, driver’s record, and decisions by the prosecutor and court. We don’t promise a particular outcome before completing that review.

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!

They were very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy. The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for their services. the Martinez Lugo family we loved them we really recommended thanks so much :)

My son was wrongfully accused and charged with assault. I hired Mr. Humphrey to represent him because I heard he was the best and as my son is 19 years old, I did not want this bogus charge going on his record. Mr. Humphrey did an excellent job of representing my son from day one. I am happy to say that the charges were dropped and the case was dismissed. I HIGHLY recommend Kyle J. Humphrey.

- 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.

He was highly thorough and made sure I understood every part of the process, which was especially important as this was my first and only legal matter. Many thanks to you and your team!

Due to the distance away from the Bakersfield area I was able to deal with the firm by phone and email. Phone service was very timely and they made me feel comfortable. If needed, I would use their services again and recommend this law office.

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.
