Highly Professional and Ethical Attorney -- Highly Recommended

I honestly could not have been happier with the decision I made to retain the Law Offices of Myles L. Berman to represent me. The staff is incredibly professional, the attorneys are extremely passionate and the firm's representation could not have been more zealous. I want to especially thank Obie ...Ozobu, ESQ., the attorney who was assigned to handle my case, for her sincerity and constant communication about anything and everything that had to do with my case. She truly fought hard and delivered more than I could have expected. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who is going thru this already painful process. They will truly go out of their way to make you feel that you are not left alone in this very unreasonably complicated process.

Thank You!

Thank you very much! You and your staff did an amazing job. My attorney's were professional and helped me tremendously through the court/ trail process with enormous ease. I can't begin to explain how thankful I am for your assistance and representation. Being wrongfully charged for a DUI was n...ot a fun situation and I'm very grateful we pulled through on top! Money well spent.

Happy I Called Top Gun

After being arrested at a DUI checkpoint, I felt overwhelmed, intimidated and completely violated. A few days after my arrest, I made an appointment with Top Gun DUI. To my surprise, my initial consultation wasn't with an Associate, it was with Myles. He asked me direct questions about one of the ...worst nights in my life in a way that was respectful and helped to put me at ease. Myles presented me with several different options for handling my case and thoroughly explained the ramifications of each choice. He made his recommendation in a straightforward, no sales pitch sort of way and gave me time to think about it. I met with Obie right after meeting Myles and she explained what to expect from the DMV hearing. She also told me about my eligibility for a restricted license, and the necessary processes to obtain it, should we happen to lose the DMV hearing. By the time I left the consultation I felt infinitely better about my situation. I felt empowered because I had options and qualified professionals to fight for and with me. Over the next couple months I was in frequent contact with Top Gun DUI. My calls were always answered or returned promptly. I felt like efforts were made to make sure that I knew what was upcoming and what to expect. I was prepared to fight the good fight. When it came time for trial, Derek Danielson walked in with an aura of confidence surrounding him. That confidence was passed onto me when an attorney walked up to me, completely unprompted, and told me, "You have the best trial attorney in LA." Can you imagine?!? I was thrilled with the outcome of my case! I cannot speak highly enough about Myles, Obie and Derek. I highly recommend Top Gun DUI.

Found not guilty!!!!

I was pulled over in Newport Beach 1 1/2 years ago for DUI. I hired Michael Phillips from the Top Gun Newport Beach/Irvine office to represent me. He did an amazing job. We ended up taking the case to trial. Michael not only exposed all of the discrepencies in the prosecutions testimony verses what r...eally happened, he also kept me calm through the whole ordeal. After three days of jury trial I was found not guilty on both the DUI charge and driving with a BAC over .08. I am extremely grateful for Michael, Miles and the whole Top Gun team. Without them I would have this illegitimate charge on my record and I would still be suffering for something i didn't do. Thank you Top Gun team!!!

Expensive... but I won!

I got pulled over driving down a one way street the wrong way and then arrested for a DUI. My BAC was .13, .14 when I blew at the station. Derek Danielson handled my case. MLB reps told me that they'd won cases harder than mine and lost easier ones, but that I had a fighting chance. The decision was ...mine. I had some factors in my favor... no one way street signs, I came out of a parking lot, I stopped immediately and the cop was right there. It was on video, my driving was good, my FST's were good too. The bad was my BAC levels. When I first met Danielson I was put off by his sharp and aggressive demeanor. But once we were in court I learned that his demeanor is what makes him a pro. He never lead my emotions, he always gave it to me straight. He told me where we had a good chance and where we didn't. But more importantly he told me he was going to fight for me and do the best he could do. And fight he did. Not only was he a total pro in the courtroom, but he made the prosecution (two lawyers) look like rookies, he cross examined the arresting officer to my favor as well as their expert witness and even called out the judge on a few accounts. He did a great job and we won!
