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.

Miracle Worker

Mr Parlow was recommended to me by my friend Frank after I got a traffic violation for driving on a suspended license from a dui conviction. I only drove that day due to an emergency. I had received mail from PA employment and in order to keep my benefits, I had to get the paperwork back to them by t...he next day. So I got pulled over. The usual sentence for this type of violation is 60 days. Somehow, over time and through Covid, we had hearings postponed. Finally, this month, I went before the judge again. The judge reduced the charge and lowered the fine to a mere $25. No jail time, and I get a refund! I credit Mr. Parlow's expertise and clear thinking for this miracle. I also owe much to the judge in the case. Thank you, Michael, for helping to bring this to an amazing conclusion.

When we needed a lawyer for a family issue that involved our son being arrested it was recommended we call Mike Parlow. He assured us on our first meeting that the worst was over. We had wanted our son sent to a rehabilitation center not arrested on the night in question. Mr.Parlow was compassionate ...and knowledgeable with all the information we gave him. Mr. Parlow answered all our questions and the situation was resolved to our benefit. Thank you to Mike and his helpful staff. They did a great job and would highly recommend his services.

My Experience with Mr. Parlow over 2 Years and Covid-19

To start this story Mr. Parlow and I went through my two misdemeanors over the course of a two year period. My first Misdemeanor was handled just through the court and they put me into a CAP Program. A couple days before I was about to hand in the volunteer hours and paperwork, I was stopped at a DUI... check point and ticketed again. This is when I hired Mr. Parlow. I had always heard he was a good lawyer from local parents and I do not regret my decision in the slightest. From that day he has provided me with every resource I needed to get the charges expunged. He got me enrolled in a 6 month DCDP Program which allowed for the second case to be expunged. We have been patiently waiting to schedule a court date, due to Covid-19. The entire time I was receiving updates through letters and calls from Mr. Parlow and his amazing office staff. As we waited for the courts to make their decision, Mr. Parlow stuck to every word and kept things very optimistic, as well as answering every question a 19, 20, and 21 year old has about the legal system and his case. He called me with the courts final decision and date. As many people are as well, I am not made of money, Mr. Parlow was willing to work with me and my financial situation, never hurts to ask. Cannot recommend him enough, definitely a master of his craft.

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.
