In 1990, Mr. Tello served as appellate counsel before the Fifth District Court of Appeals, State of California in the matter of Jackson v. Pierce (1990) 224 Cal. App. 3d 954 which established the proposition that proof of actual driving (not just proof of the police officer's belief) was needed in order to invoke the operation of the implied consent laws and as a statutory prerequisite to driver's license suspension at a DMV Administrative Hearing.

He has served on the Board of Directors of Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance, the Kern County Bar Association and the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation. He is a founding member of the Kern County Probation Department Mentor Program. He has served as Judge Pro Tem in the North Division of the Kern County Superior Court (Delano) as well as Kern County Traffic Court.
