DUI With Injury Defense in California

The DUI case against you will be based on the evidence at the accident site as well as any administered blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests. Law enforcement investigates all such accidents and comes to a conclusion based on the evidence. The prosecutor will be highly motivated to get a conviction in the case and has the support of law enforcement, labs, and the entire state network for backup. It may be necessary to conduct a separate investigation of the circumstances of the accident or interview the available witnesses.

No person wants to be responsible for harming another person in a DUI accident. However, just because you are charged with the crime does not mean that you are the responsible individual. There are factors in the area that can affect road conditions that could have contributed to the accident. Fog is often present, wet roads, or other factors that could have caused the accident other than intoxication. It is very important that if you have been charged with this felony DUI that you contact the Bakersfield DUI lawyers at Middlebrook & Associates to review your case and advise you of the defense actions to protect you.

  • "I was, and still am very impressed"
    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 that would have affected the outcome of this trial. 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. Just for your piece of mind, 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. Please let me know that you received this message.

  • "If I am ever in need of an attorney again, there is no doubt I would hire Mr. Middlebrook's firm."
    I was arrested for driving under the influence. After meeting with several lawyers, I retained Mr. Middlebrook to represent me. He took the time to listen and his advice and counsel was more than I could have asked for. Not only did he get my case dismissed, his fees were fair too. I have since referred my friend to Mr. Middlebrook and his case was dismissed too. If I am ever in need of an attorney again, there is no doubt I would hire Mr. Middlebrook's firm.

  • "Best DUI 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 achieve 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.

  • "Richard provided very knowledgeable advice and counsel, and, in fact, every court action played out exactly as he anticipated."
    Of course he knew the law and the precedents, but more importantly he knows the court, the judges and commissioners, and the other attorneys involved. His greatest value was in knowing how this particular court (Kern County Superior Court - family law division) works, the main players involved, and anticipating each player's actions and responses. No one can tell you for sure what will happen in court, but Richard provided very knowledgeable advice and counsel, and, in fact, every court action played out exactly as he anticipated. He was a little more expensive (in terms of hourly rate) than the other attorneys I interviewed, but he was worth it because he got me exactly what I wanted.
