Our Dedication to Holistic Legal Solutions

At Barbasota & Tan Law Office, we are dedicated to giving our clients attentive service, honest feedback, and sound advocacy. Since 2010, our legal team, overseen by attorneys Jane Barbasota and Mark Tan, has provided accessible and effective legal services to individuals and business owners in Bakersfield and all surrounding areas. Whether you need guidance in a personal legal issue, business matter, or are facing legal challenges to your rights, our skilled lawyers can help you navigate through each phase of the process. Below is a brief description of our fundamental practice areas and how each can benefit the diverse set of clients we serve.

Personal Injury Law: Caring Support for Your Accident Case

Injuries caused by the negligence of another can inflict serious pain and emotional distress on individuals and families alike. Our personal injury team is committed to helping victims of car accidents, workplace injuries, slip-and-fall accidents, and other cases involving negligence. From the first consultation through settlement or trial, we work to help you obtain compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Our familiarity with insurance industry practices, local ordinances, and trial venues allows us to handle your case with care and compassion.

We provide free initial consultations for personal injury cases, and all of our cases are on a contingency fee basis – you don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover money for you. Allow the Barbasota & Tan Law Office to fight for you when you need it so you can take the time to heal while we do all the heavy lifting.

Family Law: Helping You Navigate Life’s Changes

Family law matters are often intensely personal and have a tremendous impact on your future and your relationships. That is why our family law team uses their education, experience, sensitivity, and focus to help in family law issues such as divorce, child custody and parenting time, child and spousal financial support, adoption, guardianship, and orders of protection. We understand how important it is to you to protect what matters most: your family’s well-being now and in the future. We always strive to resolve disputes calmly and amicably but are not afraid to aggressively pursue justice in court when necessary. All of our legal strategies are based on practical advice and clear solutions customized for each family’s needs. Whether you need to protect your parental or financial rights, obtain a fair settlement, or grow your family through adoption, Barbasota & Tan Law Office can help you with these crucial developments in your life.

Business Law: Safeguarding and Supporting Your Local Business

Starting, maintaining and growing a business can involve a confusing array of legal requirements from formation and regulatory compliance to contracts and dispute resolution. We provide proactive counsel to start-ups, established businesses and non-profit enterprises in various industries. We help you choose and register your business entity, draft and review contracts, protect your intellectual property, manage employment issues, meet regulatory requirements, negotiate and execute mergers or acquisitions.

If litigation issues arise-between co-owners, with vendors or with customers-we provide experienced negotiation, mediation, and if needed, courtroom representation. Every effort is made to minimize risk, resolve issues promptly and allow you to proceed with what you do best – growing your business. With Barbasota & Tan Law Office at your side you can focus on your vision – knowing that your interests are guided and protected at every step.

Criminal Defense: Safeguarding Your Rights and Future

A criminal charge may be one of the most difficult events in an individual’s life, and the defense attorneys at Barbasota & Tan Law Office are fully committed to protecting the rights of clients accused of misdemeanors and felonies including DUI, drugs, thefts, assaults, and white-collar crimes. Each case is handled with a strategic approach and creative detail-we methodically analyze evidence, question law enforcement procedures, and pursue reduced charges, dismissals, or acquittals.

We understand what is on the line: your reputation, liberty, and future will all be impacted by your case. All clients receive personalized attention, a detailed explanation of options available, and the strongest possible defense in and out of court. If you are being investigated or have been charged with an offense, please contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights and build the best possible case.

From the moment you first call us, to the day your case resolves, you will receive both honest advice and regular updates as well as the compassionate support of a firm interested in seeing you succeed.

Free, no-obligation initial consultations are offered across all of our law practice areas, and we’re always happy to meet with you to review your case.

Whether you require one-off advice or permanent representation, our attorneys can walk you through your options while collaborating with you to design a plan value-based on what best meets your needs and budget.
