Client Testimonials

  • Best Choice for Legal Representation
    I would like to express my deepest and most sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of the staff at Middlebrook & Associates for their help and support with my case. I'm not a resident of Kern County and wasn't familiar with Middlebrook & associates prior to my incident. I searched the web and reviewed various firms but after reading their reviews I immediately called and signed up with them. I'm so lucky I found them! After a lengthy process, they fought for me and took care of everything. They were able to remove and reduce the number of counts I was facing to minimal charges. I didn't even have to go to their office until everything had been resolved. All business was conducted remotely via phone and video conferencing. I was also kept updated on the progress of my case via their private online web client portal where I could upload and download any documentation that needed to be exchanged between myself and staff for court proceedings and of any upcoming court hearings, which I didn't even have to attend. They also were very responsive when I called their office any time I had questions. Their team really took care of me and gave me peace of mind through a very difficult process of my life. Mr. Middlebrook and the staff are very caring, professional, and do outstanding work. I'm extremely grateful to all of those who worked on my case. I highly recommend Middlebrook & Associates to handle your case to alleviate your worries and get you the best outcome possible to get your life back on track. I am very grateful to them. Special thanks to Mr. Richard Middlebrook, Claudia, Melissa, and Gabrielle.

  • Mr. Middlebrook and his staff are excellent at what they do and would highly recommend them.
    I was charged with a DUI to which there was also an unfortunate auto accident involving myself and a parked vehicle. Fearing the worst Mr. Middlebrook managed to work out a deal that I could never imagined getting. I avoided jail time, work release, and an interlock device. Mr. Middlebrook and his staff are excellent at what they do and would highly recommend them.

  • No words to describe 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Mr. Middlebrook is the most knowledgeable attorney I have ever worked with. He is honest and attentive to your individual needs. I would never consider going with anyone else, and feel safe and secure in knowing that he is handling my case. I am completely confident that he is THE expert and knows all the ins and outs of the legal process. There are a lot of lawyers out there that will tell you what you want to hear, but Richard is upfront and will tell you what you can expect. He is a genuine person and undeniably, the best asset you can have for your legal matters!

  • This Attorney is amazing at what he does, and i would refer anyone i knew in trouble to his law office.
    After doing research on the internet trying to find an Attorney because my boyfriend was innocent, Mr. Middlebrook came up repeatedly. We got in right away to his office, and after meeting with him, had an overwhelming feeling of relief. He is very respectful, makes you feel like a person, not a criminal, and most importantly is very knowledgeable and reassures you that everything will be ok. We got the best outcome we didn't even think was possible. This Attorney is amazing at what he does, and i would refer anyone i knew in trouble to his law office.

  • 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.
