Definitely Recommend Him!

This was my very first DUI offense. At the time, I had no idea of what to expect, what to do next, how long this was going to take, etc. Mr. Barber would answer any questions I had in a prompt manner, making me feel better. We were able to close the case in almost 2 months! Michael did his job and ma...de me a very happy client.

DUI to Wreckless Driving

Michael made sure to keep me informed about my DUI case and all of the possibilities that could happen during and when my case was closed. I was arrested for a DUI even though I blew under the 0.08 limit. He was able to reduce the DUI to wreckless driving. Very happy with the outcome.

Very good lawyer

Michael made sure that I knew what was going on with my case and was there to answer any of my questions throughout the process. That is something that is very imperative, as this was my first offense with a DUI arrest and first time I have ever been in trouble with the law. I had no idea what to do... or what to expect. Michael studied my case and was well aware of all the points he needed to make. The reason I was pulled over to begin with, was because I did a U-turn. I was following a friend who had pulled over in the median due to motorcycle trouble. The officer saw me do the U-turn and decided to pull me over based off the fact he thought I was lost. Well... I was, however that is not a reason to pull someone over. Had Michael not known his facts and info, this may not have been lowered to reckless and I could have been stuck with a DUI on my record for life. He is a wonderful lawyer and I would highly recommend him to represent any of my friends who might run into same trouble. Not to mention he is very easy to talk to and has some humor. Which, in a time like this your going to need some humor.

Dui/Racing/Speeding

I was charged with Dui/Racing/Speeding and Mr. Barber handled my case very well. He kept me informed and was very knowledgeable about every aspect of my case. Ultimately Racing and speeding were dropped but I had to plead guilty to the DUI. I was hoping for wreckless driving as Mr. Barber had said th...ere was a 50/50 shot of achieving based on the facts of my case but it didn't end up working out. Overall I wish it would have been reduced but besides that fact I was satisfied with how Mr. Barber handled my case.

Mr. Barber got my DUI case dismissed! Need I say more? No, but I will.

Mr. Barber was fantastic in handling my case. I had a DUI charge against me, as well as a speeding ticket and a "failure to maintain lane" ticket; and Mr. Barber was able to get my case dismissed!! He was very patient, attentive, informative, and most of all, realistic in his expectations. He ...never made any promises of results he would be able to deliver just to make me happy. He frequently kept me informed of the progress and the outlook on my case. I am the type that likes to know "what are the possible outcomes with all factors considered," and he did a great job of explaining the nuances of my situation to me. He always kept me abreast of the different steps in the legal procedure for dealing with a DUI charge, as well as what his plan of approach was. Having Mr. Barber working on my case gave me a sense of ease because he is very knowledgeable and I could tell he was doing all he could to get me a favorable outcome. During this highly stressful and trying time in my life (no prior arrests or legal troubles), Mr. Barber really made me feel I had an experienced advocate fighting on my behalf. This helped take a ton of stress off my shoulders. In the end, I got the most favorable of outcomes: a dismissal! Without any reservations, I highly recommend Mr. Barber to anyone who needs legal representation.
