This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent, Talented Litigator

Alan stepped in when my case was obviously taking a nose dive due to my other attorney's incompetence. Alan prepared to cross a very important witness, and very impressively destroyed her by catching her on clear lies, double standards, and clearly discriminatory behavior. He was impressive thinking ...fast on his feet, and bringing his questioning get to clear points. He is spectacular in court!

Amazing Service and Legal Advice

I was referred to Alan Middleton by another attorney and I was very happy with his services. At our first meeting Alan was very responsive to all my questions and he was very generous with his time and legal advice. He spent over two hours reviewing the facts of my legal issues at no charge to me. He... worked diligently on my case and drafted an excellent response to the court for me. As a small business owner it made a major impact on the continued success of my company to have the sound legal advice of Alan Middleton.I would highly recommend Alan as a trusted advisor and attorney.

Alan Middleton Review

Alan was awesome, our case lasted 7 years and ended up in the supreme court, Alan was the lead attorney every step of the way, very thoughtful, very sharp, could not have gone the distance without Alan completely managing the entire process.

Excellent advice

Alan has represented my construction company on many issues and I believe we are batting 1000! He is very knowledgable and very personable. I consider him an intrical part of our team.

Top Shelf Attorney and Top Shelf Guy

Alan helped me revive a construction defect case that was dismissed on summary judgment. Alan wrote an excellent appellate brief and made a compelling and effective oral argument. The judges were riveted to Alan's presentation during the oral argument and actually interrupted him to ask keenly appr...opriate questions. Alan sincerely cared about getting the right result for me in my case. He is a quality attorney and a fine gentleman. I highly recommend Alan.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
