Richard Orville Middlebrook

Like all others who have found themselves in the legal predicament of being charged with Driving Under the Influence I was confused and fearful of my future and the outcome. After asking around for recomendations from friends, Mr. Middlebrook was repeatedly and highly recommended. After my initial ...call and consultation with Richard Middlebrook and his very respectful and knowledgeable assistants my fears were drastically eased and my knowledge of the situation that I had found myself in was greatly improved. At every step of the process Mr. Middlebrook and his staff were on point and completely exceeded my expectations. I never once had to appear in court because Mr. Middlebrook would appear on my behalf. Anytime I called his office, his staff took the time to answer any and all of my questions. Most of the time his office to the initiative to call or email me with updates with my case. With Mr. Middlebrook's efforts the results of my case were exceptional and better than I could have hoped for. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Richard Middlebrook and his magnificent staff to handle any case involving a DUI !! The first and biggest mistake someone could make with their case would be to not consult Middlebrook and Associates!

I don't typically find free time to post reviews, but I feel this is far too important not to share. I called and spoke to several attorneys in Bakersfield before choosing one that was cheaper than Mr. Middlebrook. Shortly afterwards, I happened to meet a Bakersfield police officer at a community ev...ent I was involved with who was kind enough to listen to my story and told me that most of the attorneys in Kern County have never even won a DUI trial but even more importantly they've never actually tried a DUI case before. He recommended that before things went to far, I call Richard Middlebrook. He has 20+ years of experience in trying hundreds of cases and won a vast majority of them. I don't know what your situation is, but for me my future, family and job were on the line and I couldn't afford not to hire him. Even though I've spent initial money on a different lawyer, I was lucky enough to be given that information because I came so close to putting my life in somebody's hands that didn't have the experience to handle it. Thank you Mr. Middlebrook for winning my future back!!

Mr Middlebrook came highly recommended by a friend who is also an attorney. Mr Middlebrook's knowledge and experience was immediately evident to me during our first conversation about my DUI citation. While I've heard all too often that it's not worth trying to fight a citation for a DUI, he gave me ...the confidence to do so when I ended up getting one. From that day forward he and his team took care of everything and kept me well informed throughout the process. He was very responsive to any questions I had and while he provided options at every stage along the way, his advice (which you'd have to be a fool not to follow given his track record in these cases) prompted me to pursue the best outcome possible rather than settle for less. He knew he could win and he did. My case was dismissed by the judge before it ever made it in front of a jury. I couldn't be more thankful to him and to my friend for the reference. Hopefully this recommendation will help others acheive a similar outcome by utilizing his expertise. He's worth every penny. Give him a call and speak to him just once about his experience and advice as it pertains to your specific situation. You'll understand what I mean.

Don't waste anymore time looking for another attorney. If you have stumbled across Mr. Middlebrook in your search, or referral from a friend or word of mouth call him now for a consultation. You will not find a better option or attorney that will get the results you hope and wish for. Not only is... he extremely intelligent and resourceful, but has a profound understanding of the in's and out's of the legal system. Mr. Middlebrook is very personable, approachable and has a good relationship with the court as well as a strong professional network with other attorneys in the trade. But he is also a staunch, steadfast and passionate advocate when you are dealing with a case like mine. I was facing 6 six counts and not simple matters. He is a bulldog when confronting non-reasonable people. Mr. Middlebrook is no push over. When the other side tried to use coercive tactics, Mr. Middlebrook pushes back. Again, he is passionately, vigorously and non-reservedly spoke up to the Court. I would highly recommend him. Richard O. Middlebrook Law Firm is professional, straight forward, and courteous, Mr. Middlebrook spoke with me personally letting me know what I may be facing. He did not, beat around the bush when he took my case. It's really a good feeling to have had some one on your side, that truly will fight for you. He has the experience, expertise and resources to fight for his clients and get results. If you're facing a situation in which you need an attorney, you've found the very best. You get for you pay for and it is money well spent. I am so overwhelmed to have this situation put behind me. Thank you so much I am blessed to have discovered you!!!

In 2009 I got a DUI and it was my second offense. At the time, I was going through a divorce. With hesitation on Mr. Middlebrook's part because he no longer handle divorces he took on my case. I was so afraid of losing my children at that time. My ex was dating a legal secretary and she was "out to ...get me". Poor Mr. Middlebrook's office was inundated with faxes and emails from this other attorney's office. They were making me out to be a horrible drunken mother who didn't deserve custody of her 3 children. Mr. Middlebrook's office was able to close the door on both of my cases. I never served time in jail, I had to do work release, and 3yrs court probation. I made friends at work release and were still friends on Facebook LOL. We all went on with our lives and for the most part it seems we took what was a devastating situation and made it a good lesson. I was granted primary custody of my children regardless of my DUI. Within an 8 month period Richard Middlebrook successfully handled my DUI and my Divorce! Furthermore, I know some people quite well who work closely with the DA and I have been told Middlebrook is the "Best" in a courtroom and they don't want to go up against him. I am very glad I retained Mr. Middlebrook. He is not the most inexpensive but he knows what he is doing and DUI can change your life. Word of advice for those of you that may have just gotten a DUI. It's not the end of the world. Losing your license like I did for a year was a good thing. I saved on car maintenance, insurance, I rode my bike, I jogged, and I got into shape. I realized that driving IS a privilege and you can find alternative ways to get around. I stayed home with my children and made the most of my lack of transportation. Drinking and driving is NOT worth it I can "walk" or I can call a cab. Put Yellow Cab in your phone and keep it there. Keep $40 in your pantry so if you do have to call you have cash when you get home. Small changes can really make a big difference. Thanks Richard for helping me so much and not making me feel worthless. Your the Best! You know who this is don't you?
