I am personally aware that he had successfully tried more DUI related cases than any other 10 attorneys in Kern County California combined.

"Richard Middlebrook is simply at the top of the food chain. There are but a small handful of DUI defense trial lawyers in the country that can do what this man can do & has done. We worked on a matter together -- the defense of a 2nd offense DUI allegation -- and I was able to see firsthand how effective Middlebrook really is. He pitched a perfect game ~ won the DMV hearing and had all charges dismissed on 4th Amendment grounds. This man is a heckuva trial lawyer and one simply cannot do better in Kern County. I fully endorse this excellent attorney."
