Myles Berman graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and went to law school at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago-Kent College of Law. After law school, he became a prosecutor in Cook County, Illinois. In 1988, he moved to California and opened up his very own practice. Shortly after that, he started concentrating on representing people arrested for DUI and eventually wrote a book called the California DUI Trial Notebook. This is a notebook that lawyers use, not just in California, but throughout the United States in successfully defending DUI cases.
