Honestly the best lawyer I have ever had! Hoping you never need one, but if you do then call him today! This was my second DUI charge and 1. He never made me feel bad 2. Gave me facts only and told me realistically what could happen. 3. Followed up periodically and let me know everything what was happening and basically held my hand the whole way.
He was able to get it dropped to reckless driving which is amazing. Super nice guy with lots of knowledge and connections in the DMV. Highly recommend!

I was referred to Michael Bruckheim by a friend in a similar situation. My experience with him for my first DUI was more than amazing. He really knows his stuff, super easy to talk to and be honest with, and makes you feel like more of a friend than a client. I truly believe the great outcome of my case would not have happened if it wasn’t for Michael. Highly recommend!

In a process where I was concerned and confused, I am definitely glad that I was referred to Michael Bruckheim of Bruckheim & Patel. A lawyer friend of mine in Atlanta reached out to his colleagues in the DMV area when he heard about my case and Michael’s name came up immediately. On initial contact, Michael was patient and empathetic as I told my story and he gave me honest and real feedback on possible outcomes, given the details of my case. When we met in person, he also gave me a step-by-step explanation of the overall legal process as well as advice on ways to mitigate my case. During the

Michael Bruckeheim is an amazing attorney and makes you feel like a friend rather than a client. I knew he was an excellent choice from the start as he spent over two hours on the phone with me on a Saturday morning. He was straightforward about all the possible outcomes of the case, which I really appreciate. He also gave me some courses prior to my court date which really helped my case. In the end, I had my charges greatly reduce and Mr. Bruckheim was a calming influence throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Mr. Bruckheim!

Michael Bruckheim was nothing short of fantastic through out my entire legal process. I was a first time offender so I had no idea what the process was going to be and he always had that in mind as he guided me through all of the obstacles we faced. I always felt comfortable and knew I was in a good position because of the passion and commitment that he showed me during our very first meeting. I would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for a lawyer that will answer any and all questions you have and really go to bat for you when the time comes in court! He laid out he best possible

Mr. Bruckheim was great from the moment I called him. I went through about 50 phone calls into various law firms and Michael was the only one who made me feel at ease and that he was genuinely interested in my well being, not just money. Michael did an awesome job for me, answered phones/texts fast, and kept me at ease the whole time. Definitely recommend this law firm!

Michael Bruckheim did an excellent job handling my DUI charge; the case resulted in far lesser charges than I would have faced without him. This was my first offense, and Michael was very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient with explaining what to expect in court. He recommended several classes and online programs that assisted in our positive outcome. He and his assistant were very accommodating to my many inquiries via phone, email and text. After talking with several lawyers, I knew this firm was the one and I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommend this team!

Michael Bruckheim was highly recommended by a friend who is also a lawyer but doesn't practice law in MD. In the end, my case was dismissed thanks to the efforts of Michael Bruckheim. Throughout the process I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive Michael was to my case and always treated my like a priority. Michael prepared me for all possible outcomes and made sure to be honest with me whether it was good news or not. His confidence in how the process was going to go made me calm in a situation where I would have been stressed out. The peace of mind and results Michael ultimately provided
