A Godsend

While shopping with my daughter at a local pharmacy, I was accused by the store manager of stealing a cosmetic item. The manager told me never to come in the store again and she wouldn't call the police. I called the local police for help as I felt I was being falsely accused of shop lifting. Very l...ong story short, the police decided, they would charge me with 1st count of corruption of a minor and second count of retail theft . I was in a complete panic and didn't know where to turn. My life had been turned upside down that quickly. Mr. Parlow was referred to me through mutual acquaintances. He met with me immediately and put my mind at ease on how the process was going to play out. He even predicted the outcome based on his experience and knowledge of the system. Throughout this 17 month, painful ordeal, he's been nothing but attentive, responsive, compassionate, and exceeded my expectations in every way. For a lawyer with a VERY busy practice , you would think I was his only client. I had no choice but to take the high road and go for the ARD (he negotiated with the DA as I was not even eligible) which was the safest outcome for me and most importantly my family and their future. I am forever indebted to Mr. Michael Parlow. He is truly a class act- human being.

TOP NOTCH LAWYER!

I was referred to Mr. Parlow several months ago for a situation with my 19 y.o. son. I was informed he was the BEST attorney around and # 1 in Bucks County. My son and I met with Michael within a day of contacting him and I was immediately impressed by his thoroughness and professional manner. He ...especially made us feel very comfortable and 'at ease'. The scary part for my son was the fact that he already had an open case in Philadelphia, which an ARD was pending and was now looking at a DUI in Bucks (which pretty much was a weekend in jail and a years suspension of driving privileges if charged. Our attorney in Philly was totally aware of this second case and not until Mr. Parlow brought to our attention that there is also a first time offenders privilege known as a Section 17, and that it would be in my son's best interest to decline the ARD that was pending in Philly and ask for a Section 17. This opened up the opportunity for him to go for the ARD in Bucks for my son. Just the fact that he was willing to offer us some verbal advice (at no extra charge) in reference to a case he had nothing to do with, was very impressive to my son and I. So we ran into a problem with the DA in Bucks not wanting to give my son the ARD since he felt my son obviously didn't learn from his first mistake. Mr. Parlow was not settling for that and set us up for a new court date. He fought for my son and in the end he was approved for the ARD program which only involved a 60 day license suspension and some fines and community service. I have spoken to many people who have been in similar situations and much less fortunate with their outcomes. They all say they wish they had known Mr. Parlow for their case. Michael has also contacted me since just to check and see how my son is making out. He has always made sure to let us know that we can contact him at any time in reference to any questions we may have. Bottom line, I would recommend Michael Parlow, ESQ to everyone I know that has any legal issues. He's TOP NOTCH in my book.

Exceptional/Outstanding

Not only was Michael P. trustworthy ,responsive ,knowledgeable and kept me informed, he was truly thorough in his actions. From the first day i stepped foot in his office til the day my case was over his word was as good as gold. I was facing a few years in jail, spoke to several lawyers and kept get...ting the same answers "because of your background you'll have to do some time". After reviewing my situation Michael P. said" there's clearly something wrong here" and piece by piece, motion by motion he broke down the accusations against me. Even though settling for a far lesser charge i am not doing any jail time and i am thankful for the knowledge and advise of Michael P. Thank You!!!

Michael did an excellent job for me. He worked with me and kept me informed as to what was happening with my case throughout and met with me when necessary. He answered any and all questions I had and made sure I understood what was happening. He explained his strategy and why this was the right s...trategy for my particular case. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case!

Very easy to talk to and knowledgable

A few months back, I found myself in the predicament of having to physically separate my wife from being forceful with my 7 year old daughter. Needless to say, the police were called and I was arrested and charged with a simple assault and harassment. I didn t argue or resist my arrest. This was ...a low point in my life. After being released, I was unsure of what I would do next, it was all very overwhelming. Here one minute, I'm physically separating a bully mother from my crying daughter, the next in a holding cell. My Sister in Law she mentioned to call Mike. Mike had represented my brother in regard to a zoning issue, which he was able to get a favorable outcome as well. Anyway, called Mike, and got an appointment within 2 days. During the first consult, Mike reassured me that I wouldn't have to spend any time in jail, that was a relief, then he said that he'd be able to get everything reduced to a summary offense. Right away I felt very confident about the outcome. I am truly very appritiate the work him and his legal team provided.
