Michael Kevin Parlow

July 2015 I was arrested for 4 felony charges of delivering a controlled substance Percocet. About 10 years previously I started abusing prescription narcotics for back pain. I became addicted and heavily involved in networking pain meds with so-called "friends" for over 10 years. I was turned in by ...one of these "friends", he set me up with an undercover police officer which I sold some of my prescription too. I am a 47 year old divorced man with 5 children and I work very hard for them. When I was arrested I thought my life was over. I had given my ex-wife the tools to keep my children from me and I was going to jail, or so I thought. Like my divorce I interviewed four lawyers, giving me about 5 minutes of thier time three lawyers told me I was facing a mandatory 6 months and probation, One told me 2 to 4 years in prison?? Michael Parlow was recommended to me by 2 people. He sat me down and basically interviewed me, he asked me what I wanted in my life he didn't make me feel like a criminal he made me feel like a man that made some bad decisions in my life and deserved another chance. He asked me if I wanted to continue with prescription pain medicine use or if I wanted to get away from it. He gave me three directions that he could take the case. One of them were Drug Court Rehabilitation Program which is what I decided I wanted. He led me through the process and told me exactly what I had to do whenever I was in doubt he was thete for me. DC rehabbed my life and with completion of DC he had all four felonies dropped. : ) Michael worked with my custody lawyer as well because my ex-wife kept my children from me because of my arrest. Working with my custody lawyer they were able to get my children back to me and keep my custody order in tact.. Because of Michael Parlow and his team my life is better than it has been in over a decade. If you do interview other lawyers do yourself a favor and see him. Your life matters to him. Within 5 minutes your choice will be Michael Parlow. Stephen N.

I recently was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment after my ex wife came to my work place, started a fight and ended up pushing me and then falling after I pushed her back. I was instructed by a friend to contact Mike and he immediately had me come i...n for a consult. He took all my information and my whole story but, never once led on that he would be able to get me out of this situation. He did say his main goal was to make sure i didnt have a felony but, never promised me that i wouldnt do some kind of jail time. He knew I was freaking out but told me to remain calm through this and to keep a level head. Mike kept in touch with me through everything, even checking in just to see how I was doing because my ex and I still had custody exchanges that needed to be done. Mike took me to the preliminary hearing and after an intense conversation with the DA and the arresting officer, he was able to get the aggravated assault dropped and was left with the simple assault. When we finally went to trial, Mike still wasn't certain he could get me off entirely or, if he was, he never led on that he could but, in any case, after yet another intense conversation with the DA and reviewing a surveillance video that we weren't given until the day of the trial, Mike was able to get my sentence reduced to a couple of fines, a year of probation, and mandatory anger management classes. I've heard horror stories of lawyers who take your case, tell you you'll be fine, and then you never hear from them again until the trial. I even had this experience myself with a custody lawyer and am now fighting my own battle to get my son but, through the whole case, Mike had me come in repeatedly, called and texted, and even had his secretary return my calls for him if he was in court. I'd say Mike went above and beyond for me, always kept in touch, but more importantly, never once led on that I would get out of this ok. I respected that the most because nothing is worse than false hope.
