Man of justice

I was arrested for a DUI and was looking for the best Attorney for DUI because my life and license means so much to me .. So I was recommended to two attorneys and one was Mr Parlow Let me to you it was a great experience from the time we had consultation. He was hired . He was straight up from begi...nning to the end. He’s very Knowledgeable of the laws he doesn’t not BS at all. If he says he’s coming to court then best believe me he’s going to be there to represent you to the fullest he doesn’t back down from no one let me Say this after a long battle back and forth with court he got me a NOT GUILTY . Everyone in his Firm is very polite and does there job to the fullest.... If You have to chose between Mr Parlow and someone else your not going to be disappointed when choosing Parlow ....

Used Mike a second time.

Mr Parlow helped me when I had DUI case and a baby on the way. Don’t know how he did it, but was able to work a deal to have me home on house arrest when I should have been in jail for 18 months. It changed my life. 10 years later I hired him which an assault charge. Again, he handled it in district ...court, worked out a very fair deal and was taken down to a summary. He knows what the DA wants and can use that knowledge to get the very best for his clients. Also, you can tell he cares for his clients. He fights for them. He takes pride in his profession and it shows.

Best Call I've ever made was to Michael Parlow. (If you're looking... you should call him today.)

Hardest call I ever made was calling the police on one of my kids. Unfortunately, that child used my words against me and I quickly found CPS (Child Protective Services) and detectives looking at me as a criminal. I had to stay at a hotel while CPS did their investigation. The best call I ever made w...as calling Michael Parlow, who was recommended, interestingly enough, by one of my older kids. Parlow was amazing and was available any time/day for me. I have never been so scared while the DA reviewed the case the detectives built. I thought I was about to lose everything, my house, my job, my family, my freedom. Parlow calmed me down and was perfect. Through Parlow's hard work the case was unfounded by detectives and CPS and I was able to move back into my home. Parlow helped me realize a disbelief I had... I thought when you don't answer police/detectives questions and say "I want my lawyer" it was an admission of guilt. But it's not, it is the best way you can protect yourself. GET A LAWYER RIGHT AWAY. When I called and talked with the detectives my sole intent was that I was helping my kid realize the crime they committed and to get them the help they needed. But during the initial questions they asked me, I answered everything thinking I was helping. All I was doing was hurting myself. I totally forgot there are several ways to look at things and the detectives took what I was saying as incriminating. PARLOW SAVED ME! He held me understand how the process works and how "they" think and operate. You'll find no better lawyer than Michael Parlow.

Best attorney you can hire hands down!

Having never even gotten a speeding ticket before, I was obviously extremely nervous about my case as I was charged with Fleeing a police officer while DUI, (felony DUI), along with a few misdemeanors and summery offenses as well. I consulted with a different attorney at first before getting Mr. Parl...ows name through a friend and decided to call and set up a consultation with him. After meeting with Mr. Parlow the first time I knew picked the right attorney! He was extremely sharp, confident and on the ball. I retained him right away and called the other attorney back. He asked who I went with and I said “Some guy named Michael Parlow” The other attorney, without hesitation said “He a great attorney! Do whatever he says! Your in good hands” At the preliminary hearing, he got the officer to drop most of the charges and I was left with just dui general impairment and careless driving. In the end he fought hard and finally got DA to agree to me pleading guilty to DUI. But with no jail time, no license suspension (yes you read that right) and 6 months probation! I could not be happier with the results as I was originally looking at a way worse situation. Mr. Parlow is a master negotiator and fights hard for his clients. Him and his staff are all extremely professional and on the ball with everything. They notify you in advance of all court dates and your called in before hand to meet with Mr. Parlow, who will answer all your questions and already have the best defense for you possible. He looks through every little detail of your case with a fine tooth comb and will think of defenses you don’t even know of and will file the proper motions to help get you the best possible outcome. If your looking for a sharp attorney who knows the in and outs of the law and is an aggressive advocate for his clients then look no further. He really is a top notch attorney and will recommend him to any and everyone I know who needs legal representation. Thanks again Mr. Parlow for helping me through this difficult time!

Thank You!

I had an accident and, as a result, was arrested. The police officer, who was doing his job felt, because of my instability on my feet, felt I was driving while impaired. When I received my court date, I was panic-stricken. I was being charged with DWI and Careless Driving. The last traffic violatio...n I had was 45 years before. Mr. Parlow was recommended to me by a colleague. I immediately called his office and was offered a next-day appointment. (Michael has late afternoon appointments which is convenient if you work.) When I met with him, he read the paperwork I had received thoroughly and immediately knew the approach to take. We met a few times before my preliminary hearing. Each time, he was well-prepared and conveyed confidence in the final outcome. Michael answered all if my questions honestly, went through all possible scenarios thoroughly, and treated all of my "What Ifs" seriously. When the day of my preliminary hearing arrived, I was concerned and apprehensive, but much calmer than I expected. Even before we went into the courtroom, Mr. Parlow met privately with the arresting officer. As a result of that conversation, the officer agreed to dismiss the DWI charge and I pled guilty to Careless Driving. The costs and fines totaled $150. The outcome was fair; it was what happened. Needless to say, if ever in a similar situation, I would want Michael Parlow representing me and I highly recommend him.
