    Hiring him was the best decision
    I can’t thank Richard Middlebrook enough for everything he did for me. From the beginning, he made a really stressful situation feel much more manageable. He was always professional, easy to talk to, very responsive, and explained things in a way that actually made sense, so I knew exactly what to expect. What really stood out to me was how hard he worked to get the best possible outcome. Thanks to his experience and dedication, my DUI was reduced to a Wet and Reckless, which I’m so incredibly grateful for! That result truly makes a huge difference for my future. If you’re looking for an attorney who knows the system, communicates well, and genuinely cares about helping his clients, I highly recommend Richard Middlebrook. Hiring him was the best decision I could have made!

    I highly recommend choosing them
    Got pulled over for DUI about a year ago and had nowhere to turn to. I was very nervous and worried I’d lose my job as a wildland firefighter, and Middlebrook & Associates helped guide me and get me through this time. They are very great with communication through the whole process and got my fines down to only $300! I highly recommend choosing them if you find yourself in a similar position. Thank you, Middlebrook & Associates!!

    Case Dismissed on First DUI
    Called them about a DUI. It was my first and I was just gonna plead no contest. They got the entire case dismissed! I can say it's worth it to at the very least call and see what the lawyers here can do for you. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and they keep you in the loop every step of the way. I am a more than satisfied customer. I couldn't have had a better experience.

    No Court Appearance Needed
    I had to find a great attorney for my first DUI, and after many calls and discussions I chose Middlebrook and Associates. EVERYTHING Richard said 'might' happen, did happen. I couldn’t be happier. No hassling with DMV, and not one court appearance. I’m not proud to have gotten a DUI, but, I am so glad I chose this firm. Gabrielle LaCarre and the whole team made me feel great and guided me through the process. Highly recommend Middlebrook and Associates.

    Not one day was my license suspended
    Middlebrook & Associates really helped me out when I got a DUI. They literally did everything for me. Not one day was my license suspended, and if I have any questions, they are always there to reach out to.

    You'll be in good hands
    Hello, my name is Pedro. I made the biggest mistake of my life and drove with alcohol in 2019 in my system. When I got caught, I felt like I was never going to get through this by myself until I heard about Richard Middlebrook. I went to their office very worried, not knowing what was going to happen to me or my life. Before Richard and his team got to work, they made sure I was calmed down and started explaining to me everything in detail about how they work. What I liked the most is that I didn't have to show up to court even once or twice. I really do recommend them for anybody who is going through hard times like I did. You'll be in good hands with Richard and his team. They do what they exactly promise to do, and that is be there for you, and you'll end up with good results by choosing them to pick up your case.
