Returning Property (firearm) from POLICE
I used to work with another lawyer who promised me to return my firearm without any problems from HOMESTEAD POLICE DEPARTMENT and since that past almost one year and nothing. I was very sad. I start surfing YouTube trying find any help and BIG THANK YOU to the Michael Adam Haber PA, he having the YouTube channel where he was explaining how you can return your property from whoever impound your gun! I hired mr. Haber PA in to weeks I had hearing where Judge granted my motion of returning my property from HPD. My experience with Haber PA are fantastic He was clear always when explaining things to me! He always respond to my email and text messages OTHER lawyers don’t do that! I will be recommending him to all my friends who need a criminal lawyer! Thank you once again from everything!

Response from Michael Haber April 19, 2021
Dear Hernando, Thank you so very much for your kind words and for authoring #HaberPA's 210th Client Review on AVVO. The number of people who come to me with 100% legitimate complaints about their lawyers never ceases to amaze me, and while I'd prefer to be the guy who gets the job done right in the first instance I'm also always happy to come in and clean up some other sub-standard lawyer's mess. I am also particularly grateful to you for explaining to the folks how you met me (to wit: by watching one of #HaberPA's VideoFAQs on our YouTube channel "MichaelHaberLaw" - in this instance # 281 - How can I get my Gun back from the Police? @ https://youtu.be/sRP_PLegJCo ). #HaberPA's VideoFAQ started as an experiment but has evolved into a significant source of information and business, with all of our 375 short, creative and informative Criminal Defense, Criminal Law & Criminal Procedure, DUI, BUI, Domestic Violence, Crime Victim's Rights, Evidence and Seal & Expunge Webisodes being available through my AVVO attorney profile (of course I welcome anyone to view them via AVVO's platform but I will be especially grateful for a subscription to: www.youtube.com/c/michaelhaberlaw ). That said, it took 2 weeks from the day that you and I first spoke for me to secure (in hand) a certified Court Order requiring the HPD to return your firearm to you, but I also secured and provided you with the protocol from HPD (including HPD's "Firearm's Claim Form", without which you could not regain possession of your gun) and connected you with the Record's Custodian who was CC'd with all documents (the Motion, the Notice of Hearing and the Court Order) in real time. It matters not whether I am tasked with a filing a procedural motion such as yours or a jury trial or anything in between, as no matter what the objective #HaberPA will always pay attention to the client and the client's needs, field your questions, ease your concerns and otherwise keep you in the loop until such time as we have provided the precise service for which we were retained. It is only by serving our clients in this boutique fashion that we can hope to earn your positive client review at the conclusion of your case. I am thrilled that you are happy and that "My experience with Haber PA are fantastic" and more I could not possibly ask. Take care, be safe and well and welcome to the #HaberPA family. Gratefully, MAH/Esq.

truly one of a kind!
Honestly, I cannot write a review that can come close to or equate to the level of greatness that Michael Haber has attained. I am truly grateful for the second chance at life my family and I have received as a result of hiring Mr. Haber. As most people know, there is a vast sea of attorneys and finding a great one is like finding a needle in a haystack. From the moment I called him and HE personally answered, to when we met for the first time, he exuberated this confidence and knowledge that someone can only aspire to achieve. Going into any legal process is normally very unsettling and a litany of what if's usually consumes your mind but within the first five minutes of speaking to Mr. Haber face to face, I was put at ease as he reviewed our case and focused solely on the facts. How he speaks is very straightforward and unequivocal, he doesn't sit there with you and use the usual attorney jargon. He elucidated the whole process and walked us through the steps that were necessary to understand in dealing with the court system. He was very thorough, and once in a while paused briefly to make sure we weren't overwhelmed or had any inquires of any kind. Once all was said and done, he told us we could reach him at his number at anytime if we were to come across any concerns that we would like to discuss. After our meeting we were exceedingly confident that we had hired an astounding attorney and we were correct. We never had any doubts or felt as if our case wasn't properly evaluated. Fast forward to our actual court date, where Mr. Haber came out the gate with this need and desire to attain the most favorable decision regarding my case. He argued my case with such precision and vigor that anyone in that courtroom stopped to listen to what he had to say. Needless to say, my case was dismissed. Imagine our astonishment, as these very well could of been life altering charges. It was over in a blink of an eye and we couldn't be any more content with the outcome. From start to finish Mr. Haber was attentive, accessible and understanding. Like I previously stated, there is an abundance of attorneys out there, but Mr. Haber is unparalleled in his field, in view of his expertise and comprehension of the court system and legal proceedings. He is extremely educated in vast areas of law and pays it forward by sharing his knowledge with anyone who is willing to watch and listen on YouTube and Facebook. It has been 7 years since my case has closed, and I have achieved many levels of success that I wouldn't have been able to reach, if it wasn't for Mr. Haber. Thank you for being a diamond in the rough.

Dear Katelin, Wow, just wow! I reply to every client review but in contemplating this one I actually had to reread your fervent words - thrice. They are so echoing in my mind that I am almost ("almost") speechless. Apart from offering you my heartfelt gratitude the thing that I most want to say to you is that your review has filled me with joy, pride and hope (as while most folks whom I represent enjoy their lives after it is precious few who get to the place where you are now from where you were when we first met). In order to give the folks who read this some context, this review was me hearing from a client who, when we first met, was at rock bottom and who, years later, has managed to build a fantastic life. When I called to thank you for this unsolicited review (#HaberPA's 209th Client Review on AVVO) you advised me that since the charges were dismissed you've managed to secure professional licensing from the State, establish a new family business (which is thriving - even during CoVid) and have had 3 children. Taking nothing away from your account of and praise for the role which I played in your prosperity, I am well-aware that mine was merely a small part of your exceptional tale. While I'm proud - elated even - to know that I served you well (according to you perhaps even exceptionally well... thank you again for that) and perhaps paved the beginnings of a new path for you to follow, there can be no arguing the fact that it was you and your spouse who actually walked the walk... just as there can be no doubt that I could neither be any prouder nor happier of you both for your own personal accomplishments. Again, I thank you so very much for reaching out and sharing your success story with the folks and I hope that your narrative serves as an inspiration to others that with dedication, effort, persistence and perseverance most anything is achievable. Wishing your family continued happiness, health, joy, prosperity and continued success. Earnestly, MAH/Esq.

All I can say is wow! Mr. Haber did a fantastic job on my case. I can speak from experience with the dealing with other lawyers that Mr. Haber was very patient, sufficient, and will organized.

I am forever grateful for the work he has done I can’t thank him enough he is an Amazing lawyer and I would definitely recommend his services to everyone, you will not be disappointed trust me. I am very happy with my results of my case and, I have nothing but positive things to say about Mr Haber. Thank you once again.

Dear Ashley, Thank you so very much for your kind words and for authoring #HaberPA's 208th Client Review on AVVO! Being easily accessible (by phone, email or on the internet) and always engaging in open, honest, direct and frequent communication with the client are some of the key hallmarks which makes #HaberPA a "boutique" criminal defense law firm and which we absolutely cherish, and so your praise in this regard is most gratifying. But we also treasure our initial and heartfelt desire to come to understand the Client and her/his situation, to adopt the Client's interests as our own, to identify and secure realistic litigation objectives and to quote and honor reasonable fees (in writing), which we also accomplished in your case. As no one knows who you are and so as to add some context so that the folks understand the "what" of your case, you were charged with Grand Theft of $29,353.64 in the form of accepting a variety of overpayments from FL-DCF. You were cash strapped and apart from a financial inability to repay that sum you also disagreed with the dollar amount claimed by the State. Understanding your inability to defend yourself against an opponent with unlimited resources (e.g. you could not afford to hire a forensic accountant, much less to finance a trial) and your stated desire to negotiate a quick plea which did not involve jail, we committed ourselves to work together at vetting the 1,000 or so pages of discovery that the State provided in an effort to chisel the amount down as much as possible and secure - at worst - a term of probation with a withhold of adjudication (no conviction). But, as it turned out, our "rapid investigation" turned into an almost year long email and telephone battle with DCF which resulted in an admission by the State that you had been over-billed by $20,900.92 and that your actual debt was $8,452.72. During this year you were able to ferret away a few bucks and I was able to convince the State to permit you to prepay $3,500.00, thus dropping your debt to $4,952.72, an amount which was under the $5,000.00 threshold for diversion. You are now enrolled in diversion with the only ("only") conditions being repayment of the $4,952.72 in no less than 6 months time (i.e. once the $4,952.72 is repayed then the State will dismiss the case and you can expunge it from your record, although this cannot be done is less than 6 months time), with no community service hours, no classes, no other strings attached. Even though it took both more time and effort than we agreed I did not hesitate in honoring the original fee that was quoted, and in your instance (i.e. knowing something about you, your family and your situation) I am especially happy to have been able to go the extra miles. I am thrilled for you in terms of your case status, I am most gratified by your sharing such kind words with the folks and I look forward to expunging your case sometime in the next 6-12 months. Wishing you and yours all the best! MAH/Esq.

VOP WITHDRAWN
If you are considering a legal defense for a violation of probation that has been filed against you, this is the man that will help you. Recently I had a false positive drug test at my probation office. Not only was I in a state of shock, I was also in danger of violating my probation for an apparent drug I did not ingest. The amount of stress and anxiety that followed was extremely overwhelming. After doing my research and discovering who I wanted to defend me I hired Mike and he assembled the strongest defense based off the facts accompanied by a legal team that were able to dissect my situation and help prove beyond doubt that I had not consumed any drug. The state decided to completely withdraw the VOP. There is nothing more valuable than your freedom, and if your freedom is in danger seek no further than Mike Haber. It has proved to be one of the best decisions of my life. I plan on working with Mike again if I ever need to defend myself I that court room.

A Needle in a Haystack
In a world where you are not familiar with; you need someone to help you out. Nowadays people try to take advantage of you and the lack of knowledge you might have in that particular field. When you finally find an honest, knowledgeable person with a winning mentality; it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I found that in Michael Haber and company. My case was a situation where I was beaten up by a few guys. Even though I defended myself I left there with a big gash on my head, a few bruises and a wrongful arrest. The police officer took me to the hospital to get stiches and then to jail. All I could think about was why was I in this situation and the reason that continued to pop into my head was I did not call the police and the other people did and lied to the officers. After 18 hours in TGK I was able to bail out. Then the search began. I spoke to a couple of people that mentioned a few attorneys, but I didn’t feel comfortable with them until my cousin mentioned Michael Haber. He told me that Michael was a strategic person that gets results. I asked him for Michael’s number and I called him right away. I left him a message and within 5 minutes I received a call from Michael himself. I explained my situation and he made sure that my information was accurate. He told me he didn’t want to be blindsided. If everything was like I told him, it was a clear Stand Your Ground case. It felt like right after we hung up the phone he started to work. It also felt like I was his only client. He gave me some homework so I can understand what he was talking about. He asked me to see some videos which really helped me out personally. To make a long story short, I won my case with exactly what Michael said from day one; Stand Your Ground. Michael and company were always extremely easy to reach and when you are nervous about something like this going on it helps to be able to speak to your Lawyer directly. I would not want to be in this situation ever again but if something ever happens to someone in my family or a friend, I would definitely be calling Michael and company right away. I even had to call my cousin (who is also an attorney) and thanked him for referring Michael right after we won the case. My family and I are extremely appreciative for his hard work and more importantly for helping us get the truth out and for helping us see justice prevails.

Nolle Pros
Back in June 2019, I had a fight with my ex girlfriend which eventually ended up with the City Of Miami getting involved. To make a long story short, I was arrested and was in custody for less than 24 hours before being bonded out. Everything seemed bad from the beginning because my ex pressed charges and she continued to cooperate with the state. She was out for blood and showed no mercy whatsoever. I hired my first private attorney in August 2019, which turned out to be a very bad chess move on my part. This attorney did nothing to advance my case and never showed up to any of the hearings. This was going on up until Nov. 2019. I finally had enough of his games. I took it upon myself to search up on super lawyers in my area. Plenty of litigators popped up in my radar but none grabbed my attention like Mike Haber did. I was impressed by his knowledge of advocacy and his use of the English vocabulary. I knew this was the guy I needed in my corner to fight the big red machine. So in January 2020, to start the new year off right, I hired Mike Haber and it was only going up from here. What started out as a rough journey ended up being in my favor because I had to do some self disciplinary things on my part to weaken the ASA’s blow. Although the pandemic arrived in March, 2020 and shut everything down for a few months, Mike and I stuck to our initial game plan which eventually worked out for us in the long run. Mike made sure that the state(and my ex) were not going to have their way with me. Even though I was wrong for hitting my ex, I couldn’t let the system win this war without me at least putting up a fight. Thanks to Mike Haber for helping me get my freedom back. If you’re even in need of a top notch attorney who doesn’t play games in the courtroom, Mike Haber is the man to call. Trust me when I tell you. I am living proof that this man can make miracles happen.

Best defense attorney I could’ve asked for
I am so fortunate to have such an amazing, intelligent, dedicated, kind, caring and professional attorney to help me with my case. Since it was a very complex case, Michael was able to manage to get my privilege to drive for business because he knew it is very important for me to work. Also helped me with his Doctors who made me realize I had a problem with substances and showing that he really cares….. He is very honest and reliable! Simply the best defense attorney that you can ask for. He decreased my probation time from 1 year to 6 months while keeping my BPO license for 6 months as well. I just can’t thank him enough for all his excellent performance and advises to be proactive along the process making everything much easier at the end. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. HABER.

An Attorney you can Trust!
I hired Michael a few months ago to represent me. I was facing a domestic violence charge (and this wasn’t a first time occurrence). Due to the limited evidence against me, Michael told me that he believed I had a good case to take to trial. After consulting with my family we decided to do just that. You can trust Michael to tell you “how it is”. If I had a bad case, he would have told me. The alternative was to take the plea the State offered but our strong confidence in Michael and the fact that my family believed I was not a good candidate for probation (meaning would probably violate my probation) was enough for us to decide this was a fight worth fighting. Nearing the start of the trial the case quickly became “complicated” because of my own self destructive behavior. However, Michael stayed the course, leveraged new facts (received on the eve of trial) and went to bat for me! I was so impressed with Michael and his partner Marc’s ability to command the court, rip apart a motion in Liminie and represent the facts in the most compelling way to the point where if the “alleged victim” testified as a witness, he would have possibly faced legal consequences himself. They were so good that I obtained a Nolle Pros before the selection of a jury. A true victory! They are skillful, knowledgeable and my family and I couldn’t be happier. This is why you get a fantastic legal team like Michael and Marc and you don’t throw in the towel because it all about reasonable doubt! Trust that they will do their best because they are the best in my opinion! We hope to never be in such a legal situation but if we are or if we know of anyone who needs a defense attorney Michael is the guy to call!

When you need a fighter
If you want someone who cuts through the BS, is professional but a bulldog defending you, honest through and through, Michael is your guy. He defended me for an attempted murder case, he told me what to realistically expect. He is very pragmatic, not an idealist, which is what you want in an attorney. He educated me on the guidelines which helped me truly understand the predicament I was in, and how to move forward considering the circumstances. The case ended in a no pros. I could not recommend Michael highly enough. This is the guy I want doing surgical operations on my case. He pointed me to a great family lawyer as well. I could not be more satisfied with Michael. You can't go wrong retaining Haber.

Best lawyer I have ever worked with!
Several months ago my husband was arrested at our home. I was present before, during, and after the incident (which didn't involve me). Despite his asking the police wouldn't let my husband make any calls so, as they were taking him away, he asked me to call Michael Haber. I found the number, called and Mr. Haber answered. I admit that I was a bit panicked but Mr. Haber was patient. He listened, helped me to calm down, and explain to him what had happened. He told me that he was going to call the police himself to try to get more information and that he'd call me right back, which he did. Mr. Haber instructed me how to appear for my husband's bond hearing and the very next morning we were all on Zoom. Mr. Haber appeared, made his argument for bond, and for reasons I really didn't understand the Judge reset the bond hearing for the following morning. The next day we had another Zoom hearing and Mr. Haber was so thorough, knowledgeable and persuasive that the Judge actually released my husband with out any bond at all. I didn't understand the process at all but Mr. Haber took the time to explain everything to me, after which I definitely understood. Mr. Haber answered all of my questions and assured me that everything would be okay. He was always available and polite and respectful and generous and caring to me and my family. It took about a month for Mr. Haber to get my husband's case to trial and when he did the Judge dismissed the case. I am so grateful that Mr. Haber was there for my family because I don't know what I would have done without him.

Beyond grateful!
While at first, my case appeared to be a fairly straightforward process, I could not have done managed without Michael Haber. Having an extremely busy career that often requires work late into the evening, I knew that delays in communication on my end would likely result in delays or my expungement not happening at all. Mr. Haber's expertise and skill in managing an unexpected situation that occurred in this process were hands-down superb. I cannot thank him enough for his excellent work and transparency along the way. I had never encountered a situation with the law like this in my life and am beyond grateful Mr. Haber was there to represent and guide me. If anyone is ever in need of an amazing defense attorney, you're in the best of hands with Mr. Haber!

Response from Michael Haber November 17, 2021
Dear S. Rose, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with #HaberPA and for obviously and intentionally employing such incredibly kind words when publishing what is now our 218th Client Review on AVVO! I'm a firm believer in the idea that open, honest and frequent communication are essential elements to any functional and meaningful relationship, most definitely including attorney-client. That said I'm going to expound on your assessment just a little bit, as yours is a classic example which can benefit other folks. You reside on FL's central west coast and received notice of a criminal prosecution (for a criminal traffic offense) in the NE section of the State. Because you had no connection to that area you had a solid alibi and, because it was a patent error, the police officer requested and the State agreed to dismiss the case; however, you still had an unwarranted criminal record which you wanted to expunge. You found me on the internet. Even though I'm in SE Florida you reached out to and hired me to handle the matter remotely. (One of the few "CoVid Silver Linings" is the ability for lawyers to easily handle their cases in a remote fashion. While not functional for most litigation - and surely tapering off as restrictions are relaxes - when it comes to sealing and expungement, these days lawyers can accomplish the same throughout Florida's 65,758 square miles no matter where we happen to be physically located.) That observed, I was as forthright with you as I am with everyone, explaining that while expungement is not "rocket science" it is a technical process full of potential tripwires and boobytraps, and as it turned out your case is a textbook example of the application of Murphy's Law to "the law". I secured the necessary documents, prepared the mandatory paperwork, emailed it to you with detailed instructions and when I had everything compiled I started the process. The first blunder occurred when the State "misplaced" your application. The second came when the Assistant State Attorney mis-executed the replaced original. An Assistant State Attorney signed it, authorizing FDLE to process the expungement application without objection, but - giving them the benefit of the doubt - they negligently wrote in an incorrect identifier, causing FDLE to reject the application. This led to the third complication, in that the whole process needed a reboot with micromanagement. There's no reason for me to believe that you (or any other "civilian" for that matter) could not have maneuvered through these missteps, but I am absolutely confident in my ability to do so quicker, smoother and with a sum net of zero aggravation to your life, most especially for someone like you, who has "extremely busy career that often requires work late into the evening". Naturally I kept you in the loop, to your credit you were consistently understanding and helpful and, while it took longer than expected, your case was expunged. Apart from my gratitude for your Client review I want to thank you for your assistance and patience, and to wish you all the best in luck and success. Earnestly, MAH/Esq.

I have the best lawyer
A few years ago Mike Haber represented me in a case that I'm still on probation for and then 3 years later I got arrested for a fake domestic case against my step son with a knife. The cops believed his BS story and of course they arrested me the guy on probation and now I had a lot of problems with a new case and a probation violation and some thing called a "veefosk" where the lawyer on the other side didnt want me to get out of jail but Mike got me out of jail anyhow and then he flipped the case on my step son with a "stand your ground" case and the Judge threw the case out and put me back on probation like it never happened and he also helped me to get a restraining order for my crazy step son who makes me and my family scared. I dont want any more problems but like here I didnt do anything and I got arrested anyhow and so Im so happy to have Mike Haber on my phone because that makes me feel safe and for my family too.

Response from Michael Haber November 8, 2021
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for taking the time to share your second experience with #HaberPA with the folks. When it comes to repeat clients I always have mixed feelings, to wit: On the one hand I'm always honored and proud (kinda like being asked out on a second date) but, conversely, I never want to see someone who's been through the system have to repeat, and your case is an excellent abject lesson as to why. Without delving too far into the potential pitfalls of probation suffice it to say that the last thing a probationer wants or needs thrust upon her/him is a new arrest. (For more info on probation you can read #HaberPA's AVVO Legal Guide on Probation in Florida: "What it is and how to survive it?" @ http://www.avvo.com/legal-guides/ugc/probation-in-florida--what-it-is-and-how-to-survive-it and you can watch my November 1, 2021 podcast, "At Your Service with Haber & Martinez", # 19, "Probation: Palpability, Practicality, Pitfalls & Pro-Tips" @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06ZzUwYJ_ao ) While any probationer who picks up a new substantive case while being supervised is subject to a possible "no Bond" hold (pending resolution of the VOP) in your particular case, because you were arrested for an enumerated violent offense while on felony probation you were automatically classified as a "VFOSC" (a Violent Felony Offender of Special Concern), which comes with a mandatory "No Bond" provision. But for the convergence of luck, skill and timing (plus a little extra luck and skill), and had the prosecutor gotten her way, then that's precisely where you would have been, e.g. in jail, held without bond, likely for several months. Luck: Fortunately for you the entire incident - audio and video - was caught on surveillance cameras. Skill: We knew enough to look for, locate and secure the footage. Timing: Because of the combination of luck and skill we were also able to introduce the footage in your defense at your bond hearing. More luck and skill: The footage showed that you stood in your doorway, using a kitchen knife to defend yourself, your family and your property from a known and unwelcomed trespassing would-be assailant, making a "conditional threat" (e.g. leave or else) to a complaining witness who was aggressive in both behavior and speech and who was on your property, threatening you not withstanding your brandishing a defensive weapon and demanding that he leave. This was a textbook case of Stand Your Ground (so much so that the cops even admitted that had they seen the video footage at the time then they would not have arrested), and that is why after an evidentiary hearing your Judge granted you statutory immunity, the case was dismissed and you were restored to probation. The last thing that I'll mention about your case is that, while the cops get a pass on this one (again, they were not privy to the digital footage at the time of your arrest) the State Attorney's Office does not... not in my book anyhow. When I provided the State with the video files and coupled it with my argument (which included 154 text messages from their alleged "victim" containing unequivocal threats of violence toward you) they doubled down like little prosecutorial robots, absolutely refusing to see anything beyond skewed tunnel-vision toward guilt, and that is inexcusable (and pathetic). That said, I am more than pleased at the outcome of your case, I am appreciative of your praise and I am hopeful that you will conclude the balance of you probationary sentence without incident. Thanking you again and wishing you all the best. Gratefully, MAH/Esq.

Outstanding Attorney
Mr. Haber was GOD sent ( I purposefully wanted to make this as my first statement in his review, as that is ABSOULTELY ( intentional CAPS) true!). I don’t think I can do any justice as I write this review on how grateful I am that I hired him for my legal case. It was in October 2020 when I was wrongfully arrested for an act that I couldn’t have imagined to do even in my grave. The allegations and accusations that were described by the off-duty officer (who arrested me) were so horrific that he made it impossible for me to assure anyone anything that was said was so away from the truth/reality. He not only misunderstood my situation but then fabricated the event and perjured on the affidavit. It is depressing to see those who are actually responsible to safe guard you, turn around and become a threat to you. I have been a law abiding individual throughout my life and this wrongful arrest took a toll on me. As many are aware that there are vast options of selecting an attorney in this greater Miami- Dade area, it is so difficult to assess who is competent and skilled that you can trust for your life. I on the other hand was not very fortunate to select Mr. Haber immediately after my arrest ( as I didn’t know him). Upon searching for so-called well known attorneys, I selected and appointed my previous counsel ( whose name I am not going to purposefully mention, as that will be inappropriate) as my first choice. It was an absolute wrong choice. Nine months went by with no real progress on my case, and after spending pretty penny on him I was frustrated, nervous and doubtful on a successful outcome. I kept researching online regarding Criminal Justice System and came across avvo and found Mr. Haber. Reviewing all of the fantastic (and more importantly genuine) comments made by his past clients, I decided to give him a call ( to which I am sooo glad I did). It was a 45 minute initial call with him where he not only proposed a plan (with confidence) to achieve my primary litigation objective ( obtaining diversion) but he also eased my mind as I was hopeful that may be I will be able to someday see “light in the tunnel”. He was very thorough in laying out the plan and assisting with reaching my primary litigation objective- Diversion. After nine frustrating months and no progress on the case with my previous counsel, I was switched over to Mr. Haber. As soon he was appointed as my counsel, he immediately started working on the next steps as outlined in the plan. His communication skills were impeccable! He always kept me informed along way as we worked upon our plan. In addition, he made himself always available to answer any questions I had either via text, call or email. Five weeks from retaining him, he was able to successfully execute the plan and secure diversion (think about the happiness and relief he provided, it is like getting a second life). The time line is important to note, because on my initial call he had indicated that within 4-6 weeks from retaining him he would be able to provide a definitive answer if he would be able to secure diversion from the State. He stuck with his indicated turn-around time. Because of working in healthcare industry and having a professional license, I did not want to risk a loss at trial, hence was seeking diversion ( as a best alternative). As I enroll in diversion, I hope that my day nears where I successfully complete and graduate from the program so that we can subsequently follow with expungement. Mr. Haber’s professionalism, skill set, thorough follow -up and follow -through are commendable. I am confident that he can take on any complicated case, craft and execute an excellent plan and achieve a successful outcome. I wish and pray that no one gets entangled with the legal system, as the process is very frustrating and extremely nerve wracking, but if anyone does have to face this oppressive system then be assured that Mr. Haber would be the BEST and RIGHT attorney to defend your c

Dear Anonymous, Apart from a general and heartfelt "thank you so very much" for your incredibly kind and detailed Client Review (#216 for #HaberPA on AVVO) I want to take a moment to comment upon what I consider to be the most salient things that you mentioned. First, you hired me only after having already been thoroughly disappointed by a prior privately retained attorney, and for that I am both sorry (sorry for you in that you wasted time and money, you expended unnecessary worry and incurred needless stress for yourself and your family) and grateful (grateful that after such a horrific experience - with an otherwise and seeming competent lawyer - you took a leap of faith in choosing to retain #HaberPA to competently clean up the mess). Sadly, about 40% of my caseload includes clients such as you, to wit: Victims of what can most aptly be described as "p*ss poor lawyering". Second (although most importantly to my mind), you found and chose to speak with me because of other Client Reviews (Client Reviews which are not unlike this one / yours), which is a tribute not only to my competence, dedication and proven abilities but also to those literally hundreds of folks who, like you, so generously offered their time to express their experience and satisfaction with #HaberPA's legal services. Just as is the case with all who came before you, I am humbled, grateful and indebted to you for doing so here and now. Third, you retained me based upon our detailed discussions which culminated in a realistic, achievable and affordable plan of action, but this did not come to be either flippantly or free. Rather, it came from both a deep and detailed dive into the facts and circumstances of your case (e.g. an exhaustive review of all police reports, victim statements, nearly 2 hours of body-cam footage, your version of events and your supporting documents, including medical records, discussions with supporting and potential defense witnesses, etcetera), which culminated in our agreed strategy and which necessarily included tactics designed to undo the damage that your prior lawyer had inflicted upon your cause (be it intentionally or negligently, it was bad). Fourth, I truly appreciate your acknowledgement of my consistency with regard to availability and communication in general, but even more so as regards both my steadfast commitment to and my unwavering belief in achieving our agreed litigation objective (noting that if I do not believe then how are you to do so, much less how are we to expect either the State, the Judge or a Jury to believe?). Finally, while it is always ("always") crucial for to me to both be entirely honest and transparent with my clients (be it in regard to identifying realistic and achievable litigation objectives or otherwise), I also always ("always") remain attentive to the Client's wishes. In your case you wanted diversion. Period. You made this clear to both your first attorney and to myself. While I can't speak to discussions between you and your initial attorney in my case you maintained your desire for admission into diversion (which was something that the State absolutely refused to offer to you) despite my earnest belief that we would secure an acquittal at trial. Not withstanding our difference of opinion as to the best resolution, you were the client, you wanted what you wanted, it was neither illegal nor unethical and so I steeled myself with determination to make your wish a reality. All of this observed I want to take a moment to remind you of the Golden Rules of diversion (e.g. Do what you are supposed to do, when and how you are expected to do so and do not do anything that you are not supposed to do) and to say that I'm eager to expunge it for you. Thank you again for your most sincere and illustrative client review, congratulations on the successful resolution of your case and please accept my best wishes you and your family all of the best in happiness, health, luck and success. Fondly, MAH/Esq

Domestic violence case
Mr. Haber recently represented husband in a domestic violence case. I’ve never actually met him but I know who his is since he was also my husband's lawyer a few years ago in a case that didn't involve my daughter or I. Because he got my husband's first case dismissed I know that Mr. Haber is a good lawyer, but this time I was a victim and so I was especially concerned for myself and my child. To protect my daughter and I, after my husband's arrest I hired a family lawyer, we got domestic violence restraining orders in place and I spent the next 6 or so months dealing with this horrible situation, hoping to figure out what was best for my family. It was about that time (6 or so months into the case) when I learned that Mr. Haber had been guiding my husband in an effort to reunite our family. My husband had spent all that time in individual and group therapy, he also completed a 26 week anger management course and Mr. Haber organized and insisted on all of those things as conditions of his representation! Before this incident I didn't have any experience with lawyers and I didn't know how they operate but I now know this: It's been more than a year since the incident and if Mr. Haber hadn't taken such a personal interest in my family's safety and well-being then we might not be together now, happier and healthier than ever.

Dear Andrea, After 30 years in the criminal defense industry I don't get to experience too manty "firsts", but this (#HaberPA's 215th Client Review on AVVO) is one of those rare, precious moments. You were a crime victim (whom I did not represent in my capacity as a victim's rights advocate; to the contrary I represented your malefactor) who went out of her way to effectively thank me for representing her wrongdoer. If you hadn't so eloquently explained the "why" of this then anyone reading your review (myself included) would likely be perplexed, but you did and for that (and for the review itself) I am grateful. I call #HaberPA a "boutique" law firm because I recognize that each client is an individual, I pay great attention to the details that matter to the client and then I tailor a strategy which I believe to be best suited to accomplishing the client's objective. Sometimes it is purely a "litigation objective" but oftentimes, and surely in this instance, it's more of a global approach, litigation being but one of many components. I do not need to tell you how determined your husband was to preserve his family (to say "at all costs" wouldn't do his passion justice), and, knowing something of him I put my experience to work, called in a support staff, laid out a multi-tiered plan, tasked everyone with their chores and set to work, micromanaging a proverbial ensemble. Sparing you (and the readers) the details, suffice it to say that without your husband's unwavering commitment, dogged determination and time-proven effort all of that would have been a waste of time, money and brain power. I guess what I'm trying to say is that while I will take credit for being "the man with the plan", in the end I was really "the guy behind the guy", as it was your husband who did all of the heavy lifting. That said, while I can tell you how grateful I am for your having taken the time to share your thoughts and feelings with the folks I can't express to you just how happy I am that your family is intact and that your daughter has the best of both worlds under one roof. Thanking you again for your most generous public appraisal. Earnestly, MAH/Esq.

Return of 36 firearms after police raided home
The police came to my house, arrested me and they confiscated all 36 of my guns. The case was such complete BS that even with a Public Defender it got dropped, but the police wouldn't return my firearms. I found Mike Haber on Google after I watched his video on getting guns back from the police and then I called him. We spoke that same day and Mike assured me that if what I told him was true then he'd get me all of my guns back, and quickly. Of course it was all true, as was Mike's word because less than 3 weeks later Mike handed me a Court Order directing the police department to return all of my guns (and the cases, boxes, magazines, sights... everything but the ammo, which Mike told me to forfeit). I know that some people can't wrap their brain around why anyone has so many guns but, honestly, I don't care what they think. What I do care about is that Mike Haber didn't ask me, he didn't judge me and he didn't BS me. What he did for me was precisely what he said he would do, and quickly, just as he promised. If all lawyers were like Mike Haber then they'd have a better reputation. Thank you Mike!

Dear Anonymous, No one can accuse you of not knowing what time it is (or of not being prepared for a zombie apocalypse). That observed, I want to make a few comments about your situation and incredibly well-written and succinct review, but before I do I want to thank you most sincerely for having taken the time to author and publish #HaberPA's 214th Client Review on AVVO. First, little makes me happier than knowing that you located and hired me by way of a #HaberPA VideoFAQ (in this case # 281) How can I get my Gun back from the Police? - https://youtu.be/sRP_PLegJCo ). "MichaelHaberLaw" (#HaberPA's VideoFAQ / YouTube Channel - which can be accessed at the following link, presently has 375 short, creative and informative Criminal Defense, Criminal Law & Criminal Procedure, DUI, BUI, Domestic Violence, Crime Victim's Rights, Evidence and Seal & Expunge Webisodes with more than 600,000 views, just shy of 2,000 subscribers and to which I hope that anyone and everyone will subscribe - www.youtube.com/c/michaelhaberlaw ). Second, while I am grateful for your props as to my work ethic and work product I want to give a shout out to my PD colleagues who, despite being underpaid, underappreciated and over worked, are almost universally excellent lawyers, dedicated to their careers and clients even if they oftentimes drown under the weight of their caseloads. Finally, I want to highlight your comment that "he didn't judge me and he didn't BS me", as those are two things in which I also take great pride. It is not my job to judge my clients; however, depending upon the case it is my job to assess credibility, be it of persons or items evidence, and then to give my client honest advise based upon my experience. That said, given the nature of your case (a post-disposition return of property which had neither an evidentiary nor a forfeiture hold, to a person who has not been legally "disqualified" by any criteria) there was no basis for me to assess anything; rather, in this instance my job was to gather the necessary facts and documents so as to be able to prepare a legally sufficient motion, electronically file it, serve it on all relevant parties, calendar it for hearing (with sufficient time for all other parties to respond and appear) and then litigate the heck out of it... which we did, successfully. That said, my gratitude for your Client Review knows no bounds. Be safe, be good and let's hope that this was your first and last foray with the criminal justice system. Earnestly, MAH/Esq.

Criminal Defense
Mike Haber represented me a few years ago on my first felony arrest. He got the charges dropped and I figured that was that, but I got myself arrested again, and this time it was far more serious. Not only was I staring at a loss of liberty but because of my actions I was also facing the loss of my family. If I did not know Mike then I would be more surprised but I do know him, and so, in hindsight it's no surprise at all that he was tough with me. Mike demanded that I do things that I definitely did not want to do and also that I not do things that I definitely wanted to do, but in hindsight I know that he made these demands with purpose... in fact with multiple purposes. Mike's plan was to save both my life and my family by forcing me to confront and change myself. He made me enter individual and group therapy. He made me enroll in a 26 week anger management course. He made me avoid certain people and situations. He put together a team to assist me in every way and he was on top of me every few days, holding me to account, checking in and checking up, but also offering encouragement and support. In the end I know that I did all the heavy lifting, but if I'm being honest I would not have known where to start, much less whether I would have followed-though without Mike's steadfast support. Mike Haber is a great lawyer but he is an even better friend. Thank you Mike.

Response from Michael Haber August 20, 2021
Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your most eloquent expression (in the form of #HaberPA's 213th Client Review on AVVO). Once a criminal case is closed I consider my former client to be a friend, and so, as in your situation, it's always bitter-sweet when a current friend returns as a repeat client (bitter in that the last place where I'd like to see you is again involved with the criminal justice system yet sweet in that a) by hiring me again you have exhibited your complete confidence in my ability and desire to help you and b) as such, I am ever-honored to have earned that privilege). Still, in this existence one of the few certain existential observations is that life is full of unpredictable events (or, more simply put, "sh*t happens"), and so it came to pass that you became a repeat client. Apart from expressing my gratitude (for both re-hiring #HaberPA and for your current Client Review) the only comment that I am compelled to make about your kind review is that I did neither "made" (in terms of applying any force) nor did I "demand" that you do anything; rather, with your input I established and you agreed to commit to a multi-tiered plan which was designed to levy an effective challenge the charges while also paving the path for responsible, objective mitigation, should the same ever be required. But the true beauty of the plan which I set in place was that it had the added benefits of providing a support system which effectively reduced your risk during the process (which, largely due to CoVid, took a full year to resolve) while both educating you as to how to adopt and incorporate more balanced management and coping skills into your life while concurrently taking proactive measures which indisputably demonstrated your earnest and most heartfelt desire to save your family. You are 1,000% correct when you observe that "In the end I know that I did all the heavy lifting", because you did; moreover, you did so in a completely steadfast, determined and unwavering fashion, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself for your total accomplishments and complete success. Had you failed, on any level at any time in any capacity (noting that there were limitless possibilities for any such breakdown) then we likely would not be having this pleasant discourse. All of that said, I am gratified that you are (once again) pleased with both my services and the outcome and I am both proud of you and happy that we are back in "friend" (as opposed to "client") status. Now all you have to do is to stay the course! Fondly, MAH/Esq.

Dear Denzel, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with #HaberPA in the form of authoring my 212th Client Review on AVVO. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that by calling me "strict" you are referring to the fact that in your case I felt it necessary to bridle you by applying tight control and regulation during the course of my representation. If that's correct then I trust that given both your circumstances when I was retained and the outcome when I was finished you have come to understand the "why" of that (and from your kind words - to wit: "very professional and fought for me", "with me through out the entire court process", "making sure we understand each other" and "provide the best representation" - it seems that we have indeed come to understand one another). I was stern with you with purpose, and together (yes, I could not have done it without you and your steadfast cooperation) we achieved the best possible result. That said my role as your adviser, advocate, negotiator and evaluator has concluded, you are now entirely free of both my draconian rule and the even harsher and more oppressive criminal justice system and all being said and done I am truly grateful... not just for your time and words but also for your leap of faith in entrusting me with your liberty. Thank you Denzel. You have graduated from "client" to "family" (noting that I'd much rather see you at a BBQ than in a courtroom). Wishing you and yours all the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq.

"I've known Mr. Haber for over 10 years. I was a prosecutor on a few of his cases. I have seen him fight for his clients like a bulldog and at the same time very professional with his colleagues. When Mr. Haber speaks, everyone listens. He knows the law and if there is a winning argument, Mr. Haber will find it. His clients are in very good and dedicated hands."

"I endorse this lawyer. Many lawyers donate their time and energy in assisting or directing others with answers to general questions on these Avvo Boards. Mr. Haber, however, has taken this assistance and general direction to a level of an art form. I have often found that Mr. Haber's responds to the questions asked and address peoples questions competently. While not always giving the answers the asker likes to hear, he shoots it to them straight and points people in the right direction on where to go next. Between his detailed answers, most of which I have found myself agreeing with either through the I Agree function or in my own answers provided. Through his quality legal guides on Avvo, he is truly providing a valued benefit to those who need some basic answers or responses about the system in general to people needing some basic understanding of the terms which they face in their current situation."

"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Haber in my opinion is an attorney that is truly for the people. I have followed him for a few years now, and remain inestimably impressed with both the amount of knowledge he has in criminal law and also the amount of knowledge he gives to anyone in need of legal guidance. Attorney Haber has a way of breaking down complex legal concepts into very understandable pieces that can be easily digested by someone not so familiar with legal phrases and wording. To have the career he has and the number of years he has dedicated to this craft and still be willing to help out the community at large at a second's notice is what I feel makes him a continual asset and resource to both the legal community and the state of Florida."

"I endorse this lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable about all areas of criminal defense. When other attorneys do not know how to resolve an issue, Mr. Haber always does . His clients love his aggressive demeanor that surely puts the Assistant State Attorneys he works with at a disadvantage. This area of law is constantly changing and you can bet Mr. Haber keeps up with all of the changes. I can't think of another lawyer I would recommend for criminal defense in Florida."
