Our Background: A Legacy of Legal Expertise

Founded in 2010, the Barbasota & Tan Law Office has been a trusted source of legal guidance and support for clients in Bakersfield and the Central Valley. Co-founded by attorneys Jane Barbasota and Mark Tan, the firm was created with a philosophy in mind: to empower individuals, families, and businesses by providing legal services that are accessible and affordable. In the years since its founding, Barbasota & Tan has developed a reputation for professionalism, service, integrity, and commitment to our client families. Since inception, our cornerstone legal philosophy has guided our law firm in achieving one goal – to serve clients with absolute confidence.
Introducing Our Founding Partners
Jane Barbasota and Mark Tan, both experienced and respected attorneys, serve as trusted advisers and advocates for their clients. Jane earned her Juris Doctor from Stanford Law School and is known for her attention to detail with heavily contested legal issues as well as her involvement in community service. She has represented clients in high-stakes family law lawsuits and handled highly sensitive personal injury cases, earning her a reputation as a skilled negotiator and litigator.
Mark is a graduate of UCLA School of Law with experience extending to over 20 years in criminal defense and business law. He is well-known for his ability to assess his clients’ needs with the goal of upholding their rights and reaching an optimal solution through compromise-even if it requires going all the way to court. Having established a reputation for success, Mark uses his analytical expertise to achieve the best results for his clients inside as well as outside of the courtroom.
Jane and Mark have created an environment that values efficiency, innovation, and excellence. They lend their hands-on approach to the numerous attorneys, paralegals, and case managers who make up the firm Mark and Jane founded. Their mission to provide high-quality, client-based service shines through the firm’s every endeavor.
