Hire parlow if I could rate him a 100 I would rate him a 9999 because he went above and beyond.

I just was pulled over by south Hampton police. I am a man of light color but still very clear that i am African American. The cop lied and said he smelled marajiuana and I don’t even smoke nor does my spouse. He called another cop who also lied and I could see it in there face. I was shaking I have ...a record and I see what cops have done to people, now here I am just worked a 13 hour shift and not on the mood. I get a text from my girlfriend and which read “babe here’s parlow a number call him he will help he gave it to me personally. So I call he tells me be quiet don’t say a word so I do so he gives me all the advice I need so now I feel content I feel safe, and I feel like even if they lie he’s got my back. They brought a dog and all, they asked who my lawyer was he said don’t answer any questions so I didn’t they were so mad it brought a smile to my face when they told me to have a nice night. Hire him he is dedicated he is there for you and he creates outcomes not promises. And don’t think because your new to him he is not going to take you serious because he doesn’t know me by name I was just a voice on the phone. If your hiring any lawyer and it isn’t parlow and Lang your hiring the wrong lawyer. Thank you so much parlow you are the man.

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.

"I'm so happy about what we were able to accomplish together."

The title is what Michael said to me after we walked out of court. I was arrested in March, 2020, and charged with a DUI. I had two DUI's over ten years before that and no record since, but I was still facing at least a little bit of jail time and and a year and a half license suspension among other ...things. Michael was very helpful with explaining everything every step of the way, almost always answered the phone and responded very quickly if he could not. He was very diligent in examination at the preliminary hearing and with discovery which he provided me as well for my input, and ultimately he was able to get the DUI charge dropped and replaced with minor summary charges. It was a huge relief walking out of the courtroom with him that day; I'd recommend Michael Parlow to anyone who feels the pressure these situations bring with them.

Best in the area, you are in great hands!

Mr. Parlow answered a call on a Sunday morning and took care of an unfortunate event that occurred with my child, whom was a very young adult. He handled all details of the case efficiently and competently. He got things done and produced an outcome that was beyond our expectations! Will alway...s recommend! Thank you!

Best DUI Lawyer

I've used Michael 3 times and I couldn't recommend him more because he got me literally the 3 best possible outcomes I didn't even think would be possible. The first time was in Philly and he got me the best possible outcome I could of hoped for with a little luck and his strategy he implemented from... the start. A second time was also in Philadelphia and he had different strategy that was also better than I could have hoped for due to his conviction in the strategy he wanted to use, the different judges etc. He always is sure about what he wants to do and isn’t wavering and uncertain, if an opportunity comes up he takes it and is flexible with his strategy and will change his approach if an opportunity presents itself. From the start each time once he receives all the details he knows exactly what he wants to do, he is very strategic and a great communicator for any questions you may have about different scenarios and possibilities. He is realistic and doesn't promise absurd things to just get your business and tells you what you are dealing with right now and what we can hope to do. He makes you feel comfortable, it always put my mind at ease the most I could have hoped for each time I hired him. The third time was his most impressive in Bucks County, the first 2 he showed he is skilled in pretrial and trial strategy but this time he had to actually argue. When we first met he told me where he wanted to go based on the vague and sloppy arrest sheet and how they handled everything but seeing it was something else with how truly impressive he was. I couldn’t believe how skilled he was at destroying everything the arresting officer and the DA presented to argue my case and the case was dismissed pretrial literally by his arguing skills alone which he needed to think quickly on his feet and he showed me what he is capable of and how skilled he really is. I’ve definitely used him more than I wish and know him better than most and couldn’t recommend him more. He is great with all the pretrial stuff and information gathering but also showed he is amazing at arguing your case. He knows pretty much everyone in Philly and Bucks, but especially in bucks county ( I 100% wouldn’t use anyone else in Bucks if I were you). He cares and has followed up with me and genuinely cares about you getting on the right track and will help you to get your life back on track. I can’t say he will definitely get you off for things you may or may not have done, but I will say he is one of the best attorneys that money can buy in this area. I definitely don’t want to need him again, but I would 100% use him again if I needed and wouldn’t consider using anyone else.
