Simply the best lawyer!

I was referred to Michael Parlow because I was pulled over for a registration issue which then turned into a search of my vehicle and subsequent paraphernalia charge which is a criminal offense. To say I was scared to death is an understatement. I have never been in trouble with the law, and the th...ought of having a criminal record and all that goes along with it was causing me great anxiety to say the least. After meeting with Michael Parlow and giving him the details of my case, he assured me that he would give my situation his full attention, and his demeanor immediately put me at ease. He went over everything so thoroughly that when he asked if I had any questions, I never did because of his attention to detail, making sure I was fully informed. His impeccable knowledge of the law and his years of experience allowed him to uncover that the way in which the search was handled was illegal. Because of this, he was able to get my charges dropped from a criminal charge to a disorderly conduct. I could not be more pleased with the outcome, along with the way he handled the entire case from start to finish. He was (along with his fantastic staff!) professional, intelligent, assuring, and the bottom line is, he far exceeded my expectations. This is the man you want to represent you if you ever find yourself in an undesirable situation such as the one I found myself in. If I had gone with an inferior lawyer who didn't posses his knowledge of the law and his years of experience, I can guarantee my outcome wouldn't be the same. I could not recommend him more highly or be more grateful for the referral.

One of the Best in the Business

Michael Parlow was very professional from the beginning. He took the time to talk about the details of what was going to happen with my case. I was charged with a DUI. Parlow took detailed notes about the situation and then took the time to analyze what had happened. He then explained to me what the ...plan was that he had in order to get the case dismissed. Nonetheless, he made it clear of the other things that could happen. Throughout the entire process, he made every effort to keep me updated on the case and made sure to approach the case from all angles to make sure his plan would work. I was very nervous about the whole thing because I had never been in a criminal situation before and never even knew how to go about pleading my case without him. Despite this nervousness, I trusted that he would help me continue my life as seamlessly as possible. At the court date, sure enough, he advocated for me as much as possible and succeeded. He got the charge to be a misorderly conduct. Thanks to Michael Parlow, I will be able to continue working and helping out my family. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer as he is the most diligent attorney I have met and heard of.

The Best Choice.. The Only Choice! ! He saved me and my family years of heartbreak!!!

July 2015 I was arrested for 4 felony charges of delivering a controlled substance Percocet. About 10 years previously I started abusing prescription narcotics for back pain. I became addicted and heavily involved in networking pain meds with so-called "friends" for over 10 years. I was turned in by ...one of these "friends", he set me up with an undercover police officer which I sold some of my prescription too. I am a 47 year old divorced man with 5 children and I work very hard for them. When I was arrested I thought my life was over. I had given my ex-wife the tools to keep my children from me and I was going to jail, or so I thought. Like my divorce I interviewed four lawyers, giving me about 5 minutes of thier time three lawyers told me I was facing a mandatory 6 months and probation, One told me 2 to 4 years in prison?? Michael Parlow was recommended to me by 2 people. He sat me down and basically interviewed me, he asked me what I wanted in my life he didn't make me feel like a criminal he made me feel like a man that made some bad decisions in my life and deserved another chance. He asked me if I wanted to continue with prescription pain medicine use or if I wanted to get away from it. He gave me three directions that he could take the case. One of them were Drug Court Rehabilitation Program which is what I decided I wanted. He led me through the process and told me exactly what I had to do whenever I was in doubt he was thete for me. DC rehabbed my life and with completion of DC he had all four felonies dropped. : ) Michael worked with my custody lawyer as well because my ex-wife kept my children from me because of my arrest. Working with my custody lawyer they were able to get my children back to me and keep my custody order in tact.. Because of Michael Parlow and his team my life is better than it has been in over a decade. If you do interview other lawyers do yourself a favor and see him. Your life matters to him. Within 5 minutes your choice will be Michael Parlow. Stephen N.

Best of the Best, truly cares about his clients.

Last summer I was looking at multiple felony charges and most likely 20-25 years in prison if convicted on these charges. Thank God I found Michael Parlow!!! I had consultations with roughly 8 different lawyers and after I sat in Michael's office, told him what was going on and listened to how care...fully and methodically he laid out our plan of attack against these chargers, I knew he was best lawyer to have in your corner. Almost a year has gone buy since the initial charges were filed and I'm happy to say that due to Michael's hard work and dedication and the hard work of his entire team, my felony charges have been dropped down to a Simple Assault Misdemeanor and instead of 20-25 years in prison, I am looking at 2 years of probation. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out and I would definitely recommend Michael Parlow and his team to anyone who may find themselves in legal trouble.

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.
