About Kevin
Kevin Kump earned his Juris Doctor from Western State University College of Law in 1986 after completing undergraduate studies at Whittier College and Fullerton Community College. He received a Bachelor of Science in 1983 and an Associate of Arts in 1981. Kump was admitted to the California bar in 1988. Public records list his license status as suspended.
Kump spent much of his career in in-house legal roles at large financial services companies. He served as Vice President and Legal Counsel at BBVA Bancomer USA beginning in 2006. Later he held senior positions in vehicle financing and consumer finance, including a National Managing Counsel role at Toyota Financial Services in 2011 and a Vice President and Legal Counsel post at Wells Fargo Dealer Services, also in 2011. Those roles placed him in environments that regularly dealt with consumer credit, dealer relations and regulatory matters.
His professional affiliations reflect an interest in bankruptcy and creditor issues. He is a current member of the Inland Empire Bankruptcy Forum and of the Morgan Bankruptcy Academy. These memberships sit alongside a long record of professional participation that dates back to his bar admission in 1988. Kump’s work history and association memberships suggest sustained engagement with issues that affect lenders, servicers and their legal departments.
Colleagues who worked with him describe a lawyer accustomed to the demands of corporate legal departments. In-house counsel positions require balancing legal risk, business objectives and regulatory constraints. Kump’s resume shows repeated movement into leadership legal roles within the finance and auto-lending sectors. The positions he has held commonly involve supervising outside counsel, managing litigation portfolios and advising on transactional and compliance matters, though public summaries of his record emphasize the titles and employers rather than detailed case work.
As of 2026 his professional footprint remains tied to California and to the financial services and bankruptcy communities. He maintains memberships in bankruptcy-focused forums and academies. He currently lists bankruptcy and financial services among his practice areas.
