Professionalism at it's finest.

I had a DUI case where I had a few beers several hours prior to my traffic accident but some how I blew over the limit for the alcohol test and charged with a DUI. I hired Middlebrook despite popular opinion from the police to plead guilty and save attorney fees as they assured me of jail time. The f...irm took the stress away instantly. They were so professional that I did not have to worry about the case. They assured me of getting the best deal. They made sure I did not lose my driving privileges at least before the trial and kept me up to date on the issue and steps they were taking. At the end of the day, the DUI charge was dropped to a wet reckless with a substantial shift in probation sentence relative to the DUI.

I am so grateful you took the time to express your excitement about our representation, efforts and results in your case! Often times, officers and DMV personnel will discourage those arrested for DUI from retaining experienced and effective counsel. Of course, it's based usually on their desire to avoid the problems in prosecution's case being put on display publicly.. While there is no easy solution to any DUI allegation, we want to insure that at the time of resolving your case you know unequivocally that you received the best possible result available for your case and circumstances. Every rock overturned and every single effort made...thank you for taking the time to make our Christmas a little brighter!

Middlebrook is the best dui attorney!

I was arrested on my third dui in march 2013. I called Mr Middlebrook's office the Monday after I was released from jail. He scheduled my a for later that day. During our meeting he discussed my options and explained worst case as well as best case senarios. I decided to hire him that day and set up ...payment arrangements. I never had to go to court or meet with the DMV. Mr Middlebrook was able to get my 3rd dui reduced to a wet reckless which is unheard of. So I did not lose my license or have any jail time. I am completely satisfied with my choice to hire Mr. Middlebrook he gave me a 1/2 a year of life to me because had I gone to court without him I'm sure I would have gone to jail for at least that long and probably longer.

Zach, thank you so much for the kind words. It was a tough case and I'm so proud of the result our entire team got for you. It takes a legion of talented people to make cases come together...even if it does take 2.5 years. The beautiful part of having counsel who is interested in the outcome and not a quick settlement is that we have an opportunity to develop all aspects of the case and provide the DA's office with all the tools necessary to see the case from our perspective and help them do the right thing. Thank you again for trusting me. I'm so glad you feel I earned it.

Top of the Top

Richard and his team are very professional and accomplished. Richard is not rated as the top in the state for nothing. My cases have been successful and my experience with him has taken the worry out of my life and enabled me to get back to living my life. I give Richard my highest recommendations....

Amazing DUI defense

In June of 2013, I was arrested for DUI. I retained an inexperienced lawyer (not Richard Middlebrook) that just wanted to collect a few thousand dollars and plead me out to first offense DUI. It was clearly evident during the DMV hearing I made a serious error in the attorney I went the cheap route ...with. I spent over thirty years in statewide law enforcement and retired as a Chief. I recognized flaws in my case and wanted someone who not only believed in me, but was willing to aggressively attack the prosecution's case. Mr. Middlebrook and his outstanding staff did just that. From the first day I retained the Law Office Of Middlebrook and Brehmer, LLP, I was able to track my case and get questions answered every step of the way via their outstanding. MyCase personal case email system. It was quite evident that they go beyond normal attorney client communication and recognize the impact DUI charges have on a client's life. They get it!!! My case was unique in that the blood test results of .18 were not the issue. The act of driving was the area of attack. Even though there were conflicting witnesses as to driving, police report errors and police car audio/video; Mr. Middlebrook aggressively attacked the flaws and supported the facts for defense. The prosecution took the case to trial and could not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. My faith in Mr. Middlebrook kept an arrest for DUI from becoming a conviction for DUI and all that goes with that. Think twice before you go to just any attorney for a DUI case. If you are like me and feel the trauma and fear of the unknown about a DUI arrest then choose wisely. The police and the prosecutor are not on your side. Take it from me a person who spent 30 years enforcing DUI laws, the Law Office Of Middlebrook and Brehmer will always be on your side and provide the best defense possible from the DMV hearing to trial...

Best Possible Result

What Mr. Middlebrook did for me is unheard of! He got numerous charges dropped, and a 3rd DUI reduced down to a wet/reckless. I am much more than satisfied with these results having blown a .15. I would definitely recommend Mr Middlebrook as THE best DUI attorney I've ever dealt with, and that is say...ing a lot. Thank you Mr. Middlebrook!!
