Shergill Law Firm

Amar Shergill interviewed on KGET - TV 17 Bakersfield calling for the Kern County District Attorney to be pro-active, work with the Bakersfield Police Department, and arrest the driver that killed Robert Forbes. A serious crime like this at a time like this does not call for a hands-off approach by prosecutors. There is already enough evidence to warrant a prosecution and the investigation can proceed after the arrest. The family and the community are calling for #JusticeForRobertForbes.

This is neither one of our largest settlements nor the most complicated but it is one of our most rewarding. Our clients in this case were turned down by one of the largest firms in the area and told the case was 'unwinnable.' We took on the case with a decidedly more robust analysis. After a deposition in which a highway patrolmen was forced to acknowledge that his fault determination may not be correct, the case took on a new perspective which opened the door for a settlement. Our clients were pleased to put the matter behind them after almost two years of litigation and a lot of stressful nights.
