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.

Law done Right

This past trial from the time contacted to finish it was stand up professionalism again. Hired Parlow for a DUI/DWI case and we were able to get the charge reduced and the drugs completely out of the equation. Things could have been 10x worse. Despite how reckless this whole ordeal was it could... have been worse and Parlow fought to help me not only have my charges severely reduced but to see that it was a mistake and it can be learned from. I'd recommend Mike to anyone facing criminal charges as he is a stand up lawyer and all around good guy.

Outstanding! Excellent!

Outstanding! Exceptional! Phenomenal! Michael Parlow represented my son on several separate charges of DUI, Criminal Theft and Possession of a Controlled Substance. My son had been arrested and held in county prison on $300,000 bail. My son's future did not look promising at all. Michael Parlow ...is an exceptional and outstanding attorney who is meticulous in his work. Michael gathered all of the documents, reviewed them at length, spoke to officials involved and prepared the best defense to protect my son! He was extremely professional and dedicated to my son. Michael understood the impact of the legal charges on the entire family not just my son whom he was representing. Michael also understands the disease of addiction and most importantly the possibility of recovery with the right treatment. Michael was willing to work diligently in having bail reduced and my son transported to the proper addiction facility. My son was provided the opportunity to get well instead of sitting in a jail cell with Michael's support. Michael was prodigious! Michael met with us weekly in order to be best prepared for the court dates. Michael knows the law and he knows how to do his job well! He delivered his presentation to the court in a gracious manner and with the utmost belief in my son. He had several witnesses testify. Michael was able to explain the entire picture of the charges against my son and most importantly the changes in my son over the past ten months. Michael Parlow believed in my son from the first day he met him. He supported us through this journey that lasted well over a year. Michael made himself available to us in person and by phone. He was there. Michael's staff were compassionate and supportive every time we called or came in for an appointment. Michael's fees did not escalate when we needed to meet weekly over a six week period. He charged a flat rate for representation and was willing to spend as much time as necessary to provide the best outcome for my son. My son was given the opportunity to seek medical treatment for his disease of addiction instead of sitting in a county jail because of Michael Parlow's advocacy. My son received years of probation, community service, compassion from the courts and a future life with his children with Michael's representation. Michael is an exceptional, outstanding, professional attorney who is passionate and devoted to his client and the law. He knows the law! I have the greatest respect and accolades for this impressive, notable attorney, Michael Parlow!

Excellent Lawyer!!!

Recently my teenage son got into a very serious legal trouble over a verbal argument with antoher person. We were referred to Mr. Michael Parlow and his team by a common friend. Hiring Mr. Parlow turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made. Mr. Parlow made us feel comfortable and led us t...hrough the process. He made sure we were aware of all updates in timely manner and kept us well informed. The ultimate outcome of this case could not be better. Due Mr. Parlow's due diligence and expertise, my son's charges were significantly reduced and he is able to continue with his life with light probation and anger management class. I would highly recommend Mr. Michael Parlow for any legal services that you or your loved ones seek. You won't be disappointed.
