This is your guy!

I had the pleasure of meeting Parlow about 20 years ago. I recently got a retail theft charge he was the first and only lawyer I thought of. The trust I had in him 20 years go hasn’t changed. Parlow had my charge reduced to a ticket. I came to Parlow maybe a week before my first court date hoping he... wouldn’t turn me away. He explained how everything was going to go every step of the way. I’d recommend him to EVERYONE

Michael Parlow - Service that goes above and beyond!

I was facing a very uphill battle with the city after unfortunately defaulting on a tax payment plan. Having done so, they reverted the amount I owed back to it's original number without taking into consideration the amount I had already paid. Due to lack of funds, I was unable to make the full payme...nt. Penalties and interest started adding up, and I was charged in criminal court. My first court appearance I went on my own, and tried to work out a new payment plan which I could afford, in order to be able to pay the city back. The ADA said the amount that I could afford and the time in which I was able to pay it back was not sufficient and I would keep having to come back to court every month to try to and renegotiate this matter or I would face jail time. That is when I called Michael Parlow. He took the time to sit down with me and go through all of my documents in reference to this matter, which was quite a substantial amount. He explained everything in detail about how it was going to go when we went to court. In court, he tried to negotiate a deal with the ADA but they were unaccepting as to what I was able to afford. That being said, we decided to go to trial. We had 4 different court dates over a two year period in which for one reason or another, the defense was not ready and requested continuations. The ADA at the last court date was new, and also requested more time to review the case. Because of the lack of preparation on the side of the prosecution and the amount of time it was taking for them to get all of their documents in order, Parlow was able to get my case dismissed and all the charges dropped. He is compassionate in the courtroom, while being an advocate and fighting for your justice at the same time. He is a true professional, and I have seen first hand how well liked and even more important, how respected he is by his peers in the law community.

Highly recommended

I was facing a second DUI charge in Bucks County and after speaking with many other lawyers, and being unsure who to choose, I went with Parlow. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner, truthfully and never sugar coated anything. After a long process of stress and anxiety, the outcome ende...d up being better than I imagined. I highly recommend this lawyer for any type of criminal matters you encounter.

Where to begin , Michael Parlow and his team of professionals were very helpful throughout the entire process ! They were attentive , responsive & answered all of the questions I had. Michael is the definition of a professional. He was wonderful to work with, knowledgeable and kept me updated on the ...status of my case every step of the way! Even reaching out after a hearing to tell me what a great job I did that day ! I plan on staying out of trouble from here on out - but I will be recommending him to anyone I know that needs an amazing attorney ! I cannot thank him & his team enough for all they have done!

Great Attorney

I was charged with a driving under the influence in Bucks County. Luckily, a trusted individual recommended I contact Michael. Michael took my call on a Sunday afternoon, walked through the details of the situation and outlined my options. He was honest about the routes I had available and set fair e...xpectations about the process as well as the cost of his services. The court process was long which left me feeling concerned at times. Michael took the time to promptly answer every question I had along the way. He made proactive calls on my behalf when I was struggling to get a rehabilitation group to provide paperwork for court. This was unexpected, but truly appreciated. He also accompanied me at every court appearance. Michael is clearly respected by those that know him including the judges, DA, officers and other attorneys we ran across. He seemed to know everyone and was greeted with a smile which made me feel more comfortable during the process. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone that finds themselves in legal trouble. I can't speak highly enough about this professional. Thanks Michael.
