MICHAEL DAVID BARBER A WOW!!! LAWYER

MR. BARBER IS A VERY WELL SPOKEN AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE LAWYER HE IS ALSO A GOOD LISTENER. I HIRED HIM TO DEFEND ME ON A MISDEMEANOR CASE ON WHICH I WAS INNOCENT TO BEGIN WITH. HE IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT HE HAS EARNED MY RESPECT. HE IS HUMBLE, HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY A...ND HE IS NOT AFRAID TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU IF YOU FEEL THAT HE FAILED YOU IN ANY WAY, EVEN IF LIKE IN MY CASE FOR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS HIM NOT RETURNING MY PHONE CALL AS FAST AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED HIM TO. WHAT ? I'M SENSITIVE LOL :) MR. BARBER WANTS YOU TO FEEL COMFORTABLE HE WANTS YOU TO TRUST HIM IN WHATEVER JOB YOU HIRE HIM TO DO BECAUSE HE TRULY DOES WORK HARD FOR YOU. MR. BARBER IN MY OPINION TRULY CARES ABOUT YOU AND WILL DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO DEFEND YOU. HE TAKES PRIDE IN HIS HARD WORK AND HE IS NOT AFRAID TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER :) MR. BARBER WANTS US ALL TO KNOW THAT OUR CASE IS IMPORTANT TO HIM BUT YOUR, (MY CASE) IS NOT THE ONLY CASE HE'S HANDLING. I HAD TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT LOL :) I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT MR. BARBER BUT I'M AFRAID I WON'T FINISH BECAUSE THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO EXPLAIN HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE... MY NAME IS HILDA AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM A REAL CLIENT AND THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND MR. BARBER TO ANYONE WHO IS IN SEARCH OF A GOOD HUMBLE AND MOST OF ALL HARD WORKING LAWYER. ONE THAT IS HONESTLY ON YOUR SIDE, THAT WORKS HARD FOR YOU, FOR THE BEST RESULTS YOU CAN EVER ASK FOR :) :) :) MR. BARBER IS AWESOME, HE'S WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD AND HE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY YOU PAY HIM TO WORK ON YOUR CASE.

professional and hard working

I came to Michael facing a dui and a possession under 20 gs of cannabis And facing fines up to 1000$. He was very professional and always on top of things and any questions that I may have had. He managed to have my cannabis charged dropped and my dui lowered to a reckless driving. I couldn't be mor...e pleaseed with his work.

Michael Barber,s outstanding trial defense

I was aqussed of violating a domestic injunction and was fasing up to a year I jail if convicted. My attorney at the time realized how complicated the case was going to be and that he was not comfortable representing me. So he referred me to Michael Barber in regards to my case. Mind you this case st...arted in Nov of 2013 and just ended in Feb 2015. Michael reviewed my case and assured me he was confident in representing me. I was innocent of the crime but I truly didnt feel it was going to be possable to prove it. Michael took what information I had and began his research. I was amazed at how often he kept me informed on the status of my case. I could tell that he was a good attorney but had no idea just how good till the day of my trial. I had no clue how much work he had put Into my freedom till the end of the day when the jury came back with a not guilty desistion. I would highly recommend him to anyone fasing a criminal charge of any kind!!! I can never thank him enough for the outstanding job he done defending me. But truly thank you again Michael Barber. Sincerely G.L.

Best lawyer in Central FL

I hired Michael barber a couple months ago for my sale/manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance and importation of marijuana case. Let me tell you,it was one the best decisions i could've made.I violated probation so many times and got my self in a very tight spot where i could NOT get out of j...ail and he made it happen.Love the way he operates,always in touch.Even answered the phone for me on a weekand while he was out vacationing.All my anxiety and worry went away knowing he had my back with his strategic legal defense.Super impressed by his skills in the courtroom,Strong fighter and worked magic somehow !Not only did he get me out fast but made it to where i didnt have to go back to jail.Got my probation re-instated after several violations and new charges.I couldn't believe he stuck his reputation on the time argueing with the judge on my behalf. The fact i'm able to write this review today proves itself what a good lawyer Mr. Barber is and i am SO grateful for all his hard work on my case.Never seen a lawyer so tough,you cant put a dollar sign on the peace of mind Mr. Barber has given me. Highly reccommend him for any future cases.Very happy with the results of his work ! A great friend,great person, and excellent lawyer.

Best Lawyer! Outstanding Service!

We are happy that we retained Mr. Barber to represent our daughter on a DUI case. Mr. Barber and the staff at Umansky law firm were there for her whenever she needed them. Mr. Barber aggressively represented her and her case was ultimately dropped. He expressed concern over her learning an importa...nt life lesson over this serious mistake. I would hire Mr. Barber again if necessary and I would strongly recommend him.
