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.

Great lawyer

I had a second dui in 2018, I had an accident also this time, of course what I did was a very wrong thing, I could have done serious damage to someone or myself.Iam a registered nurse and with a proffesional license in hand I should have never done that. I was in a very tough situation where I was go...ing to lose my license.I went to mr parlow for his help.From the first meeting onwards he explained everything to me and gave me instructions what to expect and the things I should do.My case was a very serious one since I had an accident,I was going to be in jail.But because of mr Parlow I was able to stay out of jail with a less severe sentence and was able to keep my license and job.He helped me in a great way, he is very professional and easy to communicate with.I Was very scared on my day of hearing,but when I saw him I was at some ease,he explained everything to the judge clearly and got me a fair sentence, his staffs are very polite and courteous.You can get a hold of him anytime if you have to talk to him personally.He understands everyone’s situations and will do the best with a best outcome.I already have and will recommend anyone to seek his professional expertise in any legal matters.He got your back.

A Lifesaver

Without question, Mr. Parlow is one of if not the best lawyer you could ever find. I came to him seeking advice on how to handle a DUI case this past March. I knew right away at our initial meeting that he would be the right person to represent me. This was my 1st time ever breaking the law and I was... scared to death thinking the worst but he was always calm and reassuring. He was also very direct and to the point about how he would handle the case and how the process would enfold which I highly respected. Every step of the way he was always open and honest with me about what I needed to do. Ultimately, it was decided that seeking ARD would be the best course of action. Thankfully, after completing all the requirements set to be eligible for ARD in a timely fashion I was granted admission into the program. Maybe the highest praise that I can present him is that despite being what I presume to be a highly sought after attorney is that he always make time for you and will look out for your best interests. I couldn't thank him enough and would gladly recommend him to anyone.

The absolute BEST!!!

I contacted Mr. Parlow after I was arrested for a DUI. After our consultation I hired him to defend me on the case. During the process Mr. Parlow kept me very well informed. Mr. Parlow made several suggestions that made me feel better before my preliminary. Needed to beat the case or I’d lose my job.... Our case was very challenging to defend but Mr. Parlow kept me focused on what we needed to do. I could not have asked for a better outcome in my case. The case was dismissed! Mr. Parlow is a fantastic attorney and a honorable man, he did not beat around the bush. I would recommend him to anyone.
