CASE DISMISSED

I was pulled over by a state cop while i was traveling on route i95 north. The copped pulled me over saying that i was following too closely and as he approached my car he says he smells a strong odor of marijuana. He asked me to get out the car, asked me a series of questions until i told him there ...were drugs in the car. He arrested me and charged me with several charges. I was charged with possession of a controlled substance in the intent to deliver, manufacturing drugs, drug paraphernalia and so on. While i was in the bucks county jail i over heard a gentleman talking about Mr Parlow and how Mr Parlow is currently the attorney on his case. I asked him was Michael Parlow a good lawyer and he said yes. He also told me about a friend of his that had charges dropped after Mr Parlow represented him on a major drug case. Once i was bailed out i looked on google to find Mr Parlow, called his office and set up an appointment. The next day i was in his office meeting him in person and we started discussing my case and what are the steps we need to move forward. Once he felt like i had a good chance of winning my case we then talked about how much it would be for him to represent me. He kept me informed, he made sure i understood everything that can happen, he stayed in touch with me though the whole case, from the preliminary hearing all the way to trial. He allowed me to make my own decisions but he also made me feel like he was fighting this case as is he was the defendant, and that there let me know i could trust him. When i had a chance to take the deal he looked at me with confidence and said i know i can win this. He went far and wide to get the dash cam video from the police officer. He gathered research from similar cases. He did everything he was supposed to do in order to let it be known that even though i did have illegal drugs on me, i was wrongfully stopped by that officer. I never felt left out or in the dark about anything because he made sure he mailed me every piece of paperwork pertaining my case,he made sure i understood everything in the paperwork and made sure we had meetings before and after every court date just to make sure i was OK and understand what was about to happen next. Once he seen from watching the video repeatedly that i was wrongfully stopped he knew there was no case against me so he filed he motions and got my charges dropped. CASE DISMISSED Thank You Mr Parlow

The best!

Mr. Parlow was recommended to me by a friend, who had a family member represented by Mr. Parlow, for my daughter who was facing several charges resulting from a DUI. From the moment we met, I felt that my daughter and her future were in good hands. Mr. Parlow listened to my daughter, without judgme...nt, and had a plan formulated to put her in a position to take part in the ARD program by the end of our first meeting. As the case played out over 10 months, we were continously kept informed about about what Mr. Parow was doing to help. He met with us many times to explain the next step in the process and his office was very helpful in setting up appointments that met with our work schedules. He was compassionate, understanding and worked hard to give my daughter a chance to not have a criminal record. I cannot thank or express my appreciation to Mr. Parlow enough for taking such good care of my daughter. Without hesitation, I will recommend Mr. Parlow to family and friends in need of a great lawyer who will fight for your best interests.

Amazing Lawyer

Parlow was the best lawyer I could have on my corner. The preliminary hearing went as good as I was hoping, he got my cased dismissed and he did so with a strong and aggressive (in a good way) manner. He was there to fight for me and my honor. In my case, I was being falsely accused and charged with ...theft and conspiracy; Parlow was prepared and ready. He made me feel like I can count on him and not worry about a thing. I definitely recommend Parlow and I'm sure you won't regret it!

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.
