Judge Ralph W. Wyatt - Professional Background & Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Ralph W. Wyatt is a judge for the Superior Court of Kern County in California. He was appointed to the bench by former Governor Jerry Brown on June 18, 2014, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Jon E. Stuebbe.

Wyatt earned a B.A. from California State University, Northridge. He then completed a J.D. from California Western School of Law.

He began his legal career in 1975. He first worked as a staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society of San Diego. Later that year, he joined the Office of the Public Defender of Kern County.

Then, in 1981, he left the public sector, beginning an extensive twenty-seven-year career with a number of different law firms. He started as an associate at the Law Offices of Kuhs and Parker, eventually rising to partner in 1984. Five years later, he performed a series of brief stints at Vega and Wyatt, the Law Offices of Young and Woodridge, Fallgatter and Wyatt, and Fallgatter, Wyatt and Baker.

Wyatt settled into a position as partner at Wyatt and Baker in 1993. He practiced there for seven years, but he eventually left to start his own private practice as a sole practitioner. Then, in 2001, he became a partner at Ganong and Wyatt. He held this position until his appointment as a court commissioner for the Superior Court of Kern County in 2008.

Wyatt is registered without party preference.
