HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!

There are Very Few people, who I will place 100% Undoubting and Unwavering trust in, especially people, who I've just met and are taking money to provide a service. Mr. Parlow is One of those Exceptional people! By his mere "Presence" and Confidence in his abilities, I Knew that I could have faith ...in him and trust in his work. Mr. Parlow worked a Miracle for me!!!! He Saved my life!!!! And I'm FOREVER GRATEFUL!!! He is Very Professional but also very personable. Instantly, he laid my Fears to rest, and he took care of Everything! What I truly Appreciated Most was his sensitivity to my fears and overworrying, to which he ever so Confidently reassured me that I had Nothing to worry about! Mr. Parlow got me ARD for what could have RUINED MY LIFE! And he did it through his experience, his knowledge, great personality and professionalism!!! I CANNOT THANK MR. PARLOW ENOUGH FOR ALL THAT HE DID FOR ME AND GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE!!!!

Excellent Attorney!

I've met with a handful attorneys for consultations and Michael Parlow absolutely stood out. Michael Parlow was the only attorney who said that losing my license could be prevented. Upon our meeting, he was honest, polite and compassionate. He did a great job of guiding me through the difficult proce...ss and always answered my calls and set up extra meeting with me whenever I had any questions or worries. It was an extremely confusing and taxing process and I couldn't have done it without the help of Michael Parlow. At the end he was able to have the DA take the license suspension off my case/sentence, which was of most importance to me. I highly recommend retaining Michael Parlow, he will guide you through the process, keep his promises and even lower your charges/fines.

Business Criminal defense

I was accused of stealing money from a client. I reached out to other lawyers and they recommended Mr. Parlow. We had 2 detailed meetings about my case and he kept things very simple with me. We recently had our day in court and he did an outstanding job. We allowed me to tell my story and questioned... the accusing customer. The judge not only threw out the case but recommended to the DA that they not appeal it. It was worth the time and money to work with Mr. Parlow

Michael Parlow FTW

I have had two separate experiences working with Michael Parlow. Both experiences were extremely pleasant and absolutely exceeded my expectations. Michael Parlow is the only lawyer I would want to handle any future ** needs. Years ago Michael Parlow was recommended to me by a coworker when I was cha...rged with my first offense DUI. From our very first meeting he assured me that we would be able to receive A.R.D and expunge the charges in the future. I was young and scared and he was there to guide me the entire process with ease. Years later I found myself facing a second DUI charge which was not only a violation of the A.R.D, but also put me at risk of losing my license and possible jail time. I may have been a few years older since the first DUI, however I was much more scared than before. I knew that Michael Parlow was the only person to call. Upon meeting with Michael, I was greeted with a big smile, and never once judged for my mishap. We caught up at first and then immediately went to work. We discussed every detail of the night of the incident, and all possible outcomes and approaches we could take. He had a definitive plan of action and was extremely confident in his ability to handle this case. From the very beginning he believed in me, and believed that the charges brought upon me were unjust and at the very least we would be able to lessen the charges and possibly even have the case dismissed. He assured me that the aspects of the case that I was worried about were not great enough to hold the charges. We met once more before our court date so he could explain exactly how the day would go. This was my first time going to trial, and I was extremely nervous. Michael was able to put my mind at ease and reassured me that I had a strong case and did not have much to worry about. When it came time for our case to be heard, Michael Parlow fought hard and diligently. We were able to have the charges completely dismissed. I may not know any other lawyers, however I do know that Michael Parlow cares for his clients and will fight assiduously for them. I am beyond thankful for him and recommend anyone in need of an attorney to turn to him.

Michael Parlow

Michael Parlow was recommended to me by a friend. I made a very bad decision to engage in "social drinking" with some co-workers after the work day. While I did not have "allot"' to drink, my alcohol level was still higher than it should have been. I left my friends and was soon was charged with a D...UI. I was totally scared, worried, upset and had no idea what I was going to do. I worried how this would affect my life and career. I met with Mr. Parlow and he explained in detail to me what to expect and how he would handle my case. Mr. Parlow assured me that he would work with me and for me to trust him; and I did. If I ever had any questions; which I did, I could either call his office or call him on his cell phone, which was very helpful. When I had questions or concerns I would call Mr. Parlow and he did return my calls. Mr. Parlow is very professional and was respectful of my feelings. He always kept me informed. I was very fortunate that my career was not ruined although I did have to attend an evaluation where it was determined that I did not need intervention or counseling for alcohol. I was extremely lucky. Mr. Parlow attended my hearings and helped alleviate my stress by explaining step by step what to expect and what was happening. I truly do not think I could have faced the court hearings without his supporting me. Mr. Parlow was able to get the court to accept me into the ARD Program for which I am extremely thankful. This required his expertise as I had previously been in the ARD Program greater than 12 years prior. Without Mr. Parlow's wisdom and knowledge, I feel as though I would not have had the good outcome that I did. I would highly recommend Mr. Parlow to anyone with any legal problems. I have a great deal of respect for him and am thankful that I used him as my lawyer to represent me.
