Well worth it.

I had a very positive experience with the Law Offices of Myles Berman (Top-Gun DUI) The lawyer handled my case with outstanding professionalism. He was also very down to earth, and always available to answer questions. Money well spent if you ask me. Hire Myles Berman! You won't regret it!

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!

Great Representation, Amazing Service

My wife and I spoke with 3 different attorney's offices and we knew right away that MLB was going to represent us. I had 4 different lawyers, including Myles, speak with me throughout my case and they were all knowledgeable, honest, sincere and fair with me throughout every stage. Mr. Derek Danie...lson is highly recommended because of his honesty to you and knowledge of your case in court. My case went all the way to trial where I was found NOT GUILTY, as was always my stance from the moment I was arrested.

2nd DUI DISMISSED!!!!

I was arrested for my 2nd DUI about 8 months ago. I thought I was a goner for sure. I figured there was going to be some good jail time in my future, not to mention how many classes I was going to attend and how much money I was going to fork out. I went to the Top Gun DUI office in Orange County and... told them all about my situation and after one meeting I was convinced that these guys were the real deal and hired them on the spot. They handled everything for me very professionally. I had my final court date yesterday and Top Gun got my case dismissed! I could not be happier. My thanks goes out to Miles and all of the crew at Top Gun DUI especially Mr. Michael Phillips who took the lead on my case personally.

Not to worry you truly are in good hands

I never imagined that I would be in need........of a lawyer for a DUI. How wrong was I. First off it was poor judgement on my behalf, should have taken a cab but you know I was ok..yeah right. i called MLB and they assigned William Duffy to my case and man I can tell you he was just what the doctor o...rdered. Punctual, informative and I was comfortable talking to him. When the court date came he stepped up and the outcome was a lot more than I expected. I came out clean. You would make a fine decision were you to pick Miles L Berman to represent you...thanks for listening

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
