Parlow was nothing short of a god send for me and my family. He took what should of been a 5-10 year minimum state sentence for being my 2nd felony firearms offense with two felony charges and got all charges dismissed down to only a disorderly conduct and a simple possession charge and I walked with... a slap in the wrist and 1 year probation. Parlow seized every opportunity and vigorously attacked every single weakness is the DA’s case against me. He left no stone unturned and made sure his defense was rock solid and he seemed to always have a firm grasp on what he wanted the outcome to be and worked tirelessly until that goal was achieved. I honestly do not believe I would of been able to sit here and write this review from the comfort of my own home with my fiancé and 2 children if I had gone with another attorney to represent me in this case. Parlow is a true Top tier criminal defense attorney and the hands down only option in my eyes if your looking to get the best possible results for your money in bucks county. I owe this man my life because without him by my side I would not be able to watch my son grow up and be the father and husband my family needs me to be. Take the safe route and put your money on Michael Parlow and get the best defense available that money can buy and save yourself and your family the heartache. Thank you Michael I am forever grateful and I will recommend your council to anyone and everyone who is unfortunate enough to find themselves in need of a superior, top notch criminal defense attorney in the future.

Best lawyer ever!!

I have been arrested numerous times over the past 14 years and faced years in prison. Michael has been my lawyer throughout each of those times. He has done for me what no other lawyer could do or has even done. This guy is the best at what he does. Always on time for your appointment, reviews everyt...hing with you, finds all the loopholes in your case that no other lawyer could do. He is truly amazing. He has kept me out of jail on so many occasions for drugs that I should have been doing a 10 year sentence and he has gotten me off on all accounts each time. If you feel scared about going to jail then you better hire Michael Parlow to be your lawyer. You will be very satisfied

5 Stars for Michael Parlow

I used Michael Parlow in 2 felony Poss. With intent cases I was charged with in the past 8yrs. The 1st case back in 2012 I was looking at real jail time with 5yr mandatory minimums. Michael got me 6months in county with work release and I couple years probation. The 2nd more recent case I was charged... again with felony poss. With intent to deliver and manufacture. A search warrant back in July of this year recovered 8 live marijuana plants and over 5lbs of flower and concentrates. With my prior recorded being so bad and this being my 3rd felony Poss. W/intent to delivery or manufacture I knew exactly who I needed to call. From the start Michael got my bail reduced from $125k down to 10k in 24hrs and I was out on bail in a matter of days. He then was very detailed in the proceedings of what was gonna happen next and how we should proceed. He was always available to answer and questions or concerns I had throughout the process. Him and his staff are always polite and professional. And with COVID-19 his office was extremely clean and everyone followed the COVID guidelines. Michael advised me we should wave the Preliminary hearing for a deal of time severed with immediate parole. I put in a guilty plea and at sentencing it became very apparent Michael is certainly a 5 star top tier lawyer. The judge looked over the case and with my prior record score of 5 from my previous felony cases and the felony charge of 3 I had a score of 8 and with sentencing guidelines recommended 6-16 months in county jail. The judge then asked the DA why he thought 7days in jail was an appropriate sentence for this case given my prior record. I thought for sure the judge was going to deny the Guilty plea and I would have to take this to a trial. That’s when Michael Parlow did his work. He let the judge see I was a upstanding citizen in my community and I was self medicating with my own marijuana. He let it be known the officers that arrested me did not suspect I was selling it and how cannabis played a big part in my recovery from opioid addiction back in 2012. After hearing Mr. Parlow the judge agreed and accept the guilty plea and handed down a sentence of time served—23 months. I did not have to serve anymore jail time. I spent 7days in jail and I have to pay some fines and I’m on parole for 23 months. No suspended license either like in all my previous cases. I call that win! I highly recommend Michael Parlow if you find yourself in any legal troubles. You will not be disappointed. I used him twice and was 100% satisfied both times.

Outstanding! Excellent!

Outstanding! Exceptional! Phenomenal! Michael Parlow represented my son on several separate charges of DUI, Criminal Theft and Possession of a Controlled Substance. My son had been arrested and held in county prison on $300,000 bail. My son's future did not look promising at all. Michael Parlow ...is an exceptional and outstanding attorney who is meticulous in his work. Michael gathered all of the documents, reviewed them at length, spoke to officials involved and prepared the best defense to protect my son! He was extremely professional and dedicated to my son. Michael understood the impact of the legal charges on the entire family not just my son whom he was representing. Michael also understands the disease of addiction and most importantly the possibility of recovery with the right treatment. Michael was willing to work diligently in having bail reduced and my son transported to the proper addiction facility. My son was provided the opportunity to get well instead of sitting in a jail cell with Michael's support. Michael was prodigious! Michael met with us weekly in order to be best prepared for the court dates. Michael knows the law and he knows how to do his job well! He delivered his presentation to the court in a gracious manner and with the utmost belief in my son. He had several witnesses testify. Michael was able to explain the entire picture of the charges against my son and most importantly the changes in my son over the past ten months. Michael Parlow believed in my son from the first day he met him. He supported us through this journey that lasted well over a year. Michael made himself available to us in person and by phone. He was there. Michael's staff were compassionate and supportive every time we called or came in for an appointment. Michael's fees did not escalate when we needed to meet weekly over a six week period. He charged a flat rate for representation and was willing to spend as much time as necessary to provide the best outcome for my son. My son was given the opportunity to seek medical treatment for his disease of addiction instead of sitting in a county jail because of Michael Parlow's advocacy. My son received years of probation, community service, compassion from the courts and a future life with his children with Michael's representation. Michael is an exceptional, outstanding, professional attorney who is passionate and devoted to his client and the law. He knows the law! I have the greatest respect and accolades for this impressive, notable attorney, Michael Parlow!

Life saver

Mr. parlow was a big help. My 1st charge was possession and possession with drug paraphernalia. He got me on ard but I ended up getting in trouble. the 2nd arrest I got was possession with intent n couple misdemeanor charges. Mr parlow got me into a youthful defender program which would drop my felon...y down to a misdemeanor. The program was called Diakon n it was for young adult ages 18-24. After I got accept in the program n before we left for the program I ended up getting a dui. I really should of had to have serve jail time n had my license suspended. But no tht didn’t happen. Mr parlow did his thing and kept me in the youthful offender program. Which I completed. He got my dui dropped to driving impaired. He was able to get all the cases put on to one case. Which is a great thing for my future for a job opportunity. Now I’m serving 9-15 months of probation which is was better then being in jail.
