Michael Bruckheim
My experience with Bruckheim and Patel was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I was referred, I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Sweta was my first point of contact and she was very pleasant and meticulous, leaving no stone unturned. She was informative every step of the way, keeping me updated with my case and me on ease. Michael was also great! His choice to stand and fight for my innocence, instead of accepting a plea agreement, to showed me that he really cared about me as his client and most importantly, how much he believes in his team. Throughout the entire process, I was reassured with a sense of superior professionalism and quality service. I would recommend Bruckheim and Patel to anyone who wants results and peace of mind!!! I am forever thankful.

I am so glad I was referred to Mike for my DUI case. My case went very well and I cannot express how pleased I was throughout the whole process. Not only was Mike very professional, but he was also very personable and pleasant to talk to, which definitely helped me feel like I was in safe hands, especially when I was anxious. Thank you, Mike!
I would definitely recommend Bruckheim to represent you because he not only cares about his clients, but his way in the court room is nothing you have seen before. He has great thinking skills! He is a really good attorney and I am glad he was able to represent me. My trial ended very well and I can’t express enough how thankful I am to have been represented by Bruckheim.
I contacted Michael Bruckheim because I had a DUI charge. As soon as I contacted him, he was kind to answer all my questions in a really good way, and that made me take the decision to hire him. I was really worried with the outcomes of the case, but Michael always seemed to know all the good decisions that had to be taken, and it worked. My case ended up going to trial, and Michael achieved to get all my charges dropped, and I was not expecting that at all. He is a great lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone facing any sort of charges. Now I have a clean record, and I am very thankful to Mr. Bruckheim.
Speaking to Mr. Bruckheim was a huge relief. When you call him, he explains all the steps of the DUI litigation process, your options, and the range of possible outcomes. His explanations are clear and free of jargon or B.S. He knows the court personnel, the prosecuting attorneys, many of the judges, and is extremely familiar with the routines and procedures of the local courts. Most importantly, he is extremely good at challenging and casting doubt on government evidence.
Over the course of the representation, it became clear to me that Michael Bruckheim has developed a strong reputation, and that his words carry weight with prosecutors and judges. Hiring Michael Bruckheim offers you the best chance of saving time and money in the long run, and getting your life back on track.
“Michael has an extensive resume, and is dedicated to strategically utilizing his experience, knowledge of the law, and relationships to negotiate the best possible outcome for you! I am completely confident in his abilities, and I would recommend him to my family and friends if they ever needed representation.
When working with him, he not only kept me informed, but also at ease. He was able to negotiate a great deal for me, although my situation was complicated. I couldn’t have asked for better representation!”
“I was facing felony criminal charges. After consulting with several criminal defense lawyers, I knew Mike was the way to go. He was the most honest about my possible outcomes for the case. Each time we met, it felt like my case was very important to him. Anytime I had a question, he was there to answer it.
The felony charges were dropped to misdemeanor charges, thanks to Mike!
I am very pleased with the service I received from Mike.”
“I was arrested and charged with my first DUI. I had never been in trouble with the law before and did not know where to turn. I received a postcard from Mr. Bruckheim and did some research to see if I should seek his counsel. I setup a free consultation, and from our first meeting, even though I was extremely nervous, Mr. Bruckheim put me at ease with his friendly manner and evident expertise. Mr. Bruckheim went through his qualifications (which were exceptional), occupation history and extra training he received, and then was plainspoken when he discussed the process through the justice system and the possible outcomes. He did not sugar-coat anything, which I appreciated so that I knew exactly what I could expect.
After accepting his representation, Mr. Bruckheim was extremely responsive anytime I had a question. He kept me informed along the way, got in touch with me when he said he would and displayed a professionalism within the courtroom that obviously garnered respect from the presiding judges and attorneys alike. Saving the best for last, Mr. Bruckheim helped me avoid conviction, and I will always be thankful to him for his assistance in my time of need. I strongly recommend his services to anyone needing outstanding legal representation, especially relating to DUI/DWI infractions.”
Sweta Patel
Leaving After Colliding charge dismissed!
I was not familiar with DC law and found myself facing a criminal charge for an incident. This lawyer explained the process to me and agreed to represent me. She kept me informed, was present at all my court appearances and articulated my case to the prosecution and worked to reach an agreement that was considered fair and reasonable based on the evidence. Even if my case was lost, I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal representation because of her professionalism and knowledge.
Working with Sweta was an excellent experience. She was effective and efficient in her work. She was always prompt with communication. She kept me informed of every circumstance that could come out of my case and worked extremely hard for the best case scenario. She was confident in her case work and I could tell she thoroughly prepared for each court case – she made me feel as if I was her only client when I knew she had multiple other cases going on! In addition, she was extremely caring and compassionate during this hard time in my life.
I would choose no other attorney
I was facing charges in D.C. and turned to Sweta after one of my friends recommended her – great decision. She was one of the most professional attorneys I have ever worked with – well informed and dedicated to my case. Needless to say, the outcome of my case was far better than I had expected.
Excellent Defense Attorney!
I was facing a serious allegation in DC, and I shopped around for a good attorney. After speaking with a few attorneys in the area, I settled on the one who paid the most attention to me and walked me through all the potential steps of my case. I was not wrong! I hired Sweta and she did a great job. My charges where dismissed, and It will be able to be expunged. Sweta is a great investment.
Sweta is a very strong presenter and exhibits a high degree of organization skills.
In addition, to being skilled in the courtroom from her previous Public Defender experience, she’s a dedicated researcher. If your looking for someone who will take the initiative, follow up with context rich communication, and be very hands on with your case then she is the ideal attorney for you.
Kind & Focused!
I’m hard of hearing so I was nervous about having a lawyer that was difficult to understand and to go through the legal process of getting charges dismissed. She made the whole ordeal very easy and smooth for me and communicated quite clear with both myself and the people of the court. I felt very at ease with her and knew that she was focused on me at the time
Associate Attorney Testimonials
The few interactions I had with Lora, I knew she was a ‘rock star’. This was confirmed after I saw a handful of cases presented by lawyers who had barely prepared and bumbled their way through interactions with the government and judge. The outcome was the best case scenario which I’m truly thankful for. I’m thankful for your professionalism and subject matter knowledge. I took those two qualities for granted as I thought it came with being a lawyer but I realized that wasn’t a valid assumption after seeing some of the cases being presented before mine with other lawyers.
