No words to explain the teams professionalism.

I was arrested for a first time DUI on December of 2015. I went to Mr. Middlebrooks's office the very next day and explained my case. He gave me a step by step overview of what is going to happen. It would be a shame on my part if I didn't review his teams work for me. I was updated promptly and they... basically took over the entire area and only called me once or twice where I was actually needed with my case. After 6 months of deliberation, he managed to get my case thrown out due to technicalities and all charges were dropped against me. My greatest gratitude goes to his entire team. I've had sleepless nights over my arrest and how my future was going to be permanently affected if I had been convicted. After researching, I noted that he actually charges a bit more than the average for a DUI attorney in town, but I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever with his service and I would not hold back from recommending his office to anyone. I truly appreciate his teams commitment to quality of work they have done.

Best DUI Defense Attorney Around

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.

DUI CONVICTION

I was charged with a DUI back in May 2015 and received a BAC of over .09 and was involved in a moderate collision with another vehicle. I contacted Richard Middlebrook immediately to avoid a license suspension. My license was taken away by the Bakersfield Police Department. I got another license with...in a week due Mr Middlebrook. Also I never had to go to court serve any more jail time and avoided the School for first time DUI offenders. My DUI was acquitted and the unlawful entry onto a highway was dismissed. The only charge was a dry reckless of which is a not counted in the 10 year rule for a second DUI after I served a 3 year probation. Mr Middlebrook and staff answered all of my questions and he assured me from day 1 and gave me relief from day. I was so scarred from going to jail and losing my license. We won the DMV hearing also I highly recommend Mr Richard Middlebrook.

The absolute BEST there is.

Obviously a man hiring a DUI attorney doesn't always make all the right decisions. Hiring Richard Middlebrook was the best decision I've made over the past couple of years! The arresting officers severely mishandled my case and I should not have been arrested. I came to his office broken and humbled,... feeling like the protagonist in a John Grisham novel. I was even starting to doubt my own innocence. Enter Middlebrook, like a heftier yet better looking version Matt Damon in the Rainmaker. Not only did I leave with a sense of encouragement that carried over into the way I viewed my case, he and his highly trained staff of near geniuses eventually achieved a greater resolution than I thought possible. Middlebrook and his associates treated me like my case was the only one on the books. I felt at this time like Harrison Ford at the end of The Fugitive..... Vindicated. In all seriousness, they have restored my faith in justice, and proven that lawyers aren't just that good in movies. Not cheap, yet worth every single penny and in my opinion, if you find yourself in the clutches of Kern's famous good ol boy justice system, the ONLY way to even the playing field. I'm not a somebody, but who I am means the world to my family and I. I have my life back thanks to them, and I appreciate the fact that they fought so hard, just for me.
