Exceptional/Outstanding

Not only was Michael P. trustworthy ,responsive ,knowledgeable and kept me informed, he was truly thorough in his actions. From the first day i stepped foot in his office til the day my case was over his word was as good as gold. I was facing a few years in jail, spoke to several lawyers and kept get...ting the same answers "because of your background you'll have to do some time". After reviewing my situation Michael P. said" there's clearly something wrong here" and piece by piece, motion by motion he broke down the accusations against me. Even though settling for a far lesser charge i am not doing any jail time and i am thankful for the knowledge and advise of Michael P. Thank You!!!

Rescued from a stressful situation

In meeting Mr Parlow he made me feel like the situation was under control. Repeatedly counseling me on what to do once I was in court. When it came to the day in court, I was well prepared and had no problem with what we went over in my case. I received phone calls from his office reminding me when m...y next appointment was . Overall ,Mr parlow and his office helped me tremendously in a bad situation which turned out to my favor. He was thorough on court day and to me he is a Super Lawyer.

the greatest lawyer ive ever seen in action hands down

when i got arrested in december 2013, i thought my life was over. the police came into my house and found tens of thousands of dollars worth of narcotics, along with drug manufacturing devices of all sorts. I had hired michael once before when i was 19 to handle a dui case of mine and i was so impr...essed with how he handled that case, i knew that he was the lawyer i wanted to help me through this new case. the entire time he made me feel as though my case was the only case he cared about, as if he had a personal stake in the outcome of my hearing. he had me do a lot of things most lawyers wouldnt think to recommend to help me avoid jail time. he assured me if i did these things i would hopefully not see any jail time. he had me plea guilty to an open sentence so it was up to us to convince the judge that i dont belong in jail. he never once promised me i wouldnt get locked up, always making sure i knew it was a real possibility, but he also always gave me confidence that he was going to do everything in his power to get us the verdict we wanted. when the day came for us to go to court, he fought hard for me, he presented a list of compelling arguments to the judge, even having my parents and myself give lengthy speeches on my behalf to help persuade the judge to lean in our favor. even when the distriict attorney spoke, trying desperately to have the judge give me a jail sentence, michael was fully prepared with a lengthy arsenal of relevant and compelling rebuttals. i ended up recieving 2 years of parole and 5 years of probation on a case that i should have received a couple years in jail for. no other lawyer could have handled the case this way and gotten me these results. after sitting in the courtroom and watching how other attorney handled similar cases, i was so grateful for michael because i knew i made the right choice in hiring him over any other lawyer. he was professional at all times and never bullshitted me for a second. it was all straight business with michael and he truly made me feel special as though i really cared about the outcome of my case, he never made me feel as though i was just a pay-check or just another client to him. I would hire michael again without even a second thought and would recommend him to anyone in need of a truly caring, highly skilled attorney. he really is a super lawyer and i know he would go through the extensive lengths he went through with me for any client that hires him, he is extremely seasoned in courtroom procedures and with current laws themselves and knows exactly how to interpret and manipulate the wordings of laws in his favor. on top of all of this michael charged me very reasonably for his services and i would pay for his help over and over again without hesitation. if you are going anywhere other that michael parlow for a criminal defense, you are going to the wrong place plain and simple. if you need someone who is going to fight tooth and nail for you, look no further, michael parlow is the lawyer for you.

The Best

Michael from start to finish, under promised and over delivered. He will do the right thing for you. My own experience with Michael was a 100% Win, and I didn't think that was possible given the legal system and its flaws. I had a whole lot on the line, and Michael came through for me. You will f...eel very confident in him, the way he will handle your case, and he will give you the right advice for your situation. Hiring Parlow and his firm was the best decision I could have made, and you can tell unlike some other attorneys, he really does care about your situation and will fight aggressively on your behalf if need be.

This man and his firm are rockstar's

Michael Parlow is hands down the guy you want behind you. For starters I was being held on 350,000 dollars bail and he somehow got me ROR. Not a dime out of pocket to be released. My case was rather large and was facing 9 felony charges. Through this man's knowhow, hard work, connections, and aggress...iveness. I went from facing 4-8 years incarceration to a probation sentence. My case was split between 2 states and 3 different counties. Michael and his partner Paul lang handled it all flawlessly. I owe these guys my life and will always be greatful for how hard they both worked for me. Michael I cant thank you enough. Your a rockstar my friend....
