A Good attorney

Mr. Middlebrook helped me keep my license which I am very grateful for. I could not afford trial but I was able to plead to a lesser charge. He is very nice and intelligent as is his staff. I'm confident, had I gone to trial, my case would have been dismissed or I would have been acquitted. Overall, ...I would recommend him if you can afford trial or if all you want to do is save your license and get a lesser charge.

Thanks for taking the times to complete the above comments. In the legal system we are forced into one of three scenarios: Dismissal, trial and plea agreements. Often the deputy district attorneys are on strict orders from their supervisors not to dismiss a case, even if the evidence shows the defendant is not guilty or could not reasonably be proven guilty. And if client's aren't in a position to try the case because of economics, time or desire, we have only one choice left. A plea arrangement can be a great way of working towards an equitable resolution. But it should always be a last resort, not a first choice. We are grateful we were able to help and thank you for such outstanding comments.

Best in the state

When I found myself in need of a DUI attorney, I really had no idea what to do or where to look. In my 43 years, I have never required these services. I do not live in CA - actually about 2500 miles away – so making a decision on an attorney was especially difficult. Before leaving town, I acquire...d a phone book to assist in my search and relied on the internet, as well. After contacting several attorneys and getting prices from each, I was drawn toward Mr. Middlebrook because of his impressive credentials and experience, as well as proven track record. I definitely had to find an attorney I felt I could trust and one that I could personally and professionally relate to because of the long-distance nature of my case. After speaking with Mr. Middlebrook and his office, I knew I had found that firm. Everybody at Mr. Middlebrook’s office was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the duration of the case. During trial, Mr. Middlebrook’s knowledge and expertise shined brilliantly as the jury and I watched and learned the true meaning and intent of the law. We emerged from the trial with a favorable verdict of not guilty despite the prosecutor’s best efforts. In my opinion, Mr. Middlebrook is not just an expert in DUI law, but also in the practices and procedures of the police department, the workings of the court system, the science behind breath and blood alcohol testing, the performance of field sobriety tests, and much more. I would like to take this opportunity to again thank Mr. Middlebrook, Mr. Brehmer, and the rest of the Middlebrook team for literally saving my life, and my family’s life, with the hard work and dedication to perfection they demonstrated in what was a very trying time for me.

Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your confidence. Thank you for your steadfastness and dedication to honesty and integrity. I was, and remain, so proud of our association and our small dent in the faulty, untrustworthy science behind driving under the influence cases. I am humbled. This is a life changing experience regardless of the positive outcome. Nobody apologizes for their fabrications. Nobody repays the thousands of dollars spent. Nobody even says they are sorry to have cost you 9 days of your life in trial and over a year in anxiety. Congratulations again! You deserved justice and justice was provided by 12 jurors who spent 9 days with an eye towards the truth, not the 30 second commercials you see on television or the highway signs that subjugate our citizenry to untrained crime scene instigators. All the best!

Mr. Middlebrook Is Best In Trial

Just wanted you to know that I think you did an excellent job representing me and my case. I cannot think of anything that you could have said, done, or even a question left not asked. I was, and still am very impressed with your representation of me, your professionalism, and your presentation of my... case. I have a very high opinion of you and your ability as a defense attorney. I would highly recommend you to anyone I know, and if ever a need should arise, would not hesitate to use your services again myself.
