Middlebrook & Associates

They will smile in your face and tell you they will call you back with an answer, but will never do. Twice this happened. This says a lot about the attorney's character. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.

Made the mistake of using him twice now.. He promises you the world but once they get your money they give you the cold shoulder. Communication drops off right after you sign the paperwork and pay... He said he'd keep me out of jail and that wasn't true... He does the work and then boasts about how much work he did when he fails... At my arraignment he was literally shaking and his voice was cracking when the judge was trying to remand me from bail I paid twice...If I wanted someone to hold my hand through court I would have went with a Public Defender or a much cheaper lawyer. He will never take your case to trial so unless you have some crazy loop holes in your case I wouldn't even try it... DUI is one of the only crimes where the jury gets knowledge of previous DUIs so he simply won't take your case to trial with previous DUIs. If it's your first then a public defender will get you the same as he will... Total waste of money but if you're a Barbie looking Rosedale individual he will get you off. I watched him get someone off Scott free that was going to court with during my DUI court dates... I could hear what they were discussing in the hallway before court and this woman's DUI was much worse than mine... Im sure they make deals with the DAs on which get off and who's going to be the sacrificial lamb. Do yourself the favor and get a public defender if it's your first or second. He also failed miserably on my expungement too... Before I paid him he swore up and down he could get it 100% expunged which wasn't true.. After our last court date he informed me that expungement is "discretionary" which he didn't explain while we signed the paper work. If I knew it was going to be a gamble I wouldn't have forked over the money. I would never use this guy again or even refer him to anyone.

Called them about a DUI. It was my first and I was just gonna plead no contest. They got they 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.

I cannot say enough about this firm. I was in a terrible situation. I made a terrible mistake, one that I feel extremely remorseful about. I was so lucky to have found Middlebrook and associates. Everyone that I dealt with at this office provided impeccable service. I did not deserve the deal that I got, I made a terrible, terrible mistake. However, from day one I felt like I was in perfect hands. Whatever they said would happen, happened .I am not from Bakersfield. I am from Los Angeles and my incident occurred in what I'd like to referred to as BFE. I literally was the middle of nowhere. However, this powerhouse of a firm took my case, worked tirelessly for me, and ultimately delivered. If you find yourself in a situation of this kind, and you live in Kern county, there is no other firm to hire. You will not be sorry, it will be the one shining light to come out of such a terrible situation. I will definitely use them again, however, never again for a situation like this.
