the greatest lawyer ive ever seen in action hands down

when i got arrested in december 2013, i thought my life was over. the police came into my house and found tens of thousands of dollars worth of narcotics, along with drug manufacturing devices of all sorts. I had hired michael once before when i was 19 to handle a dui case of mine and i was so impr...essed with how he handled that case, i knew that he was the lawyer i wanted to help me through this new case. the entire time he made me feel as though my case was the only case he cared about, as if he had a personal stake in the outcome of my hearing. he had me do a lot of things most lawyers wouldnt think to recommend to help me avoid jail time. he assured me if i did these things i would hopefully not see any jail time. he had me plea guilty to an open sentence so it was up to us to convince the judge that i dont belong in jail. he never once promised me i wouldnt get locked up, always making sure i knew it was a real possibility, but he also always gave me confidence that he was going to do everything in his power to get us the verdict we wanted. when the day came for us to go to court, he fought hard for me, he presented a list of compelling arguments to the judge, even having my parents and myself give lengthy speeches on my behalf to help persuade the judge to lean in our favor. even when the distriict attorney spoke, trying desperately to have the judge give me a jail sentence, michael was fully prepared with a lengthy arsenal of relevant and compelling rebuttals. i ended up recieving 2 years of parole and 5 years of probation on a case that i should have received a couple years in jail for. no other lawyer could have handled the case this way and gotten me these results. after sitting in the courtroom and watching how other attorney handled similar cases, i was so grateful for michael because i knew i made the right choice in hiring him over any other lawyer. he was professional at all times and never bullshitted me for a second. it was all straight business with michael and he truly made me feel special as though i really cared about the outcome of my case, he never made me feel as though i was just a pay-check or just another client to him. I would hire michael again without even a second thought and would recommend him to anyone in need of a truly caring, highly skilled attorney. he really is a super lawyer and i know he would go through the extensive lengths he went through with me for any client that hires him, he is extremely seasoned in courtroom procedures and with current laws themselves and knows exactly how to interpret and manipulate the wordings of laws in his favor. on top of all of this michael charged me very reasonably for his services and i would pay for his help over and over again without hesitation. if you are going anywhere other that michael parlow for a criminal defense, you are going to the wrong place plain and simple. if you need someone who is going to fight tooth and nail for you, look no further, michael parlow is the lawyer for you.

Criminal Defense

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.

On the Run

I had been on the run from two counties for over 4 years after I violated my probations. During those 4 years I managed to get my life on the right track. With these two warrants hanging over my head I decided to seek legal help. It was time to put the past behind me. Michael Parlow is the best you ...can get. Especially in Bucks County. I went to court in Bucks first to take care of my warrant. Everyone there seemed to know Michael. I felt safe and in good hands even with the uncertainty of my situation. When we found out I had another warrant in Philadelphia I was immediately detained and put into a holding cell. At first I figured it was all over for me and I was going to jail. Michael was able to call down to the criminal justice center is Philly and get them to lift my detainer. All within a few short hours I was released from the holding cell in Bucks County, and given a court date in Philadelphia for the following month. I didn't think things like that were possible. Michael made it happen. He never once lead me on or reassured me that things were going to be ok. He never gave me or my family false hope. We were always aware that things may not go my way. Michael was able to get my probation in Bucks terminated that day. The following month we head to philly for court. I was a little worried because I wasn't sure how well Michael knew the courts down in the city. My judge was a very difficult man to read and I was very nervous. We winded up getting chewed out by the judge in Philly. In the end he also agreed to terminate my probation in Philadelphia. I cried. What seemed so impossible, wasn't impossible at all. I walked away free. If you are dealing with any legal issues and need advice on what to do next I wouldn't hesitate to go right to Michael Parlow's office.
