This incorporates such things as (but is not limited to) doing my best to meet clients at their convenience (as opposed to mine), in locations and at times which are mutually convenient (sometimes at their homes, places of business, independent ground - having free wifi and excellent coffee any Dunkin Donuts always works for me - and occasionally even at odd hours), structuring fees to reasonably accommodate the client, making myself personally available to the client as close to 24/7 as is possible and, perhaps most importantly, giving careful and comprehensive consideration to both micro and macro issues in a given case so as to be able to agree upon and effort toward a viable litigation objective. This is why I refer to #HaberPA / Michael A. Haber, P.A. proudly providing "boutique" criminal defense litigation services ("boutique" meaning "a small company that offers highly specialized services"), and this is a large part of #HaberPA's / Michael A.

Glad I had him in my corner
From the beginning, Mr. Haber answered all my questions and concerns in a timely and straightforward manner. I made a monumentally foolish mistake that risked putting my plea deal in jeopardy. His legal mind navigated me through this difficult time with a stern and effective approach culminating in a...
Dear Anonymous, I know precisely who you are and what you did, and without disclosing either any confidences or your identity I am going to use your case as a lesson for the folks who read this (I truly hope that this does not bother or offend you, and if it does then A) I apologize and B) just let me know and I will delete / re-write this reply). After 26 years in this business I reasonably foresee certain avoidable complications - such as risking driving for non-business purposes while you have a pending DUI and a restricted BPO license - and I go to great lengths to make sure that my clients understand these pitfalls. But, as the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water...", and so all that I can do is to advise, prepare and warn you. I cannot control either your behavior or the consequences of your behavior. In your case you were exceedingly lucky (against all odds) but you could have, you should have in fact, not been so fortunate. So for those of you reading this, be it improperly driving on a BPO license or otherwise, if you have enough confidence to put your life / liberty into a lawyer's hands (not to fail to mention to pay her / him to defend you) then please, pretty please, heed the advise of your counselor at law. That said I am elated that you dodged a bullet, are not in custody and I wish that I could take credit for brilliant lawyering, but the truth is that you avoided a new substantive case and a virtually certain jail sentence by sheer luck. Noting that I've given you numbers 2 & 3 previously, following are some gratuitous final tidbits of advise : 1) Buy some Lotto tickets (hopefully your streak carries over long enough for you to cash in), 2) do what you are supposed to do, when and how you are supposed to do it and 3) DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO (caps intentional). Thanks again for the thoughtful review. Wishing you all the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq

I wanted to express my gratitude for your efforts and dedication for my son case. It is really hard to make someone who doesn’t know you believe that you are innocent, but you still put all your efforts in clearing his name. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to whoever is in need of a l...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your kind words. I am humbled and honored. The most difficult client to defend is the truly innocent client, like your son, but when you've got both the facts and the law on your side then things tend to work out as they should, and as they did here (case dismissed). Wishing you and your family all the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq

The Best Criminal Defense Attorney
Mr. Haber came highly recommend to us in 2008 and I could say that we were extremely happy with our outcome of that case. Unfortunately we had to hire him again in 2017. He is blunt and tells you how it is. He fights hard for his clients and is always available to answer questions and help in whateve...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your kind words. I am grateful for your observations about my availability, my willingness to go the extra mile, my courtroom demeanor and presence and my work ethic, as these are all significant matters of pride. While there is an unfortunate quality to having repeat clients there is also a silver lining (for me anyhow): I know that I earned both your confidence and your trust the first time around, and, frankly, I cannot ask or expect for much more than that from myself. Thank you again for your heartfelt words. They mean a great deal to me. Wishing you and yours the best of happiness, luck and success. Fondly, MAH/Esq

GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!
My child was facing many judicial challenges where my child could have been incarcerated for many years. Michael worked his magic with prosecutor and the judge. My child did go to jail for several months. When the sentence was completed my child resumed their life without any probation.
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your kind review. I hope that you do not mind but I am going to clarify the situation a little for the benefit of the reader. In this instance your unnamed son was on his 2nd VOP (Violation of Probation). He was being concurrently supervised on 2 separate felony cases in front of a notoriously tough Judge. I was not his original lawyer. I was brought in when he VOP'd the 1st time. In both VOP's your son faced up to 25 years in prison. The first time we managed to get him a (rare) probation bond and then to get his probation reinstated, but the Judge took your son into custody on the 2nd VOP (refusing a bond). Due to the combination of A) the legally and factually undefendable nature of the allegations and B) the Judge's clearly stated intention to "punish" your son, we put forth a mitigation defense - meaning that we engaged in calculated plea negotiations. The bottom line is that your son spent almost 2 months in custody before we were able to secure a 270 day plea agreement (with credit for the nearly 2 months served, netting him about 210 days). The beauty of this result is that 1) your son did not go to state prison (not for 1 day much less up to 25 years), 2) your son stays local (so you can visit as you wish with minimum inconvenience), 3) your son will earn more gain time and likely get released sooner (you must serve 85% in state prison whereas here "in County" he may serve as little as 66%) and (perhaps most importantly) 4) when he finishes his sentence your son will no longer be on probation (which is an invitation for failure in many cases, your son's included). All of that said again, I appreciate your kind review and I am very happy that I was able to accomplish our litigation objective (i.e. keeping your son out of state prison - and beating our own private - albeit not confidentially, just internal - "over / under" of 364 days by about 27%), BUT... it wasn't magic. It was preparation, planning and being able to effectuate a comprehensive stratagem formed from a global perspective... a course of action that only came to fruition because you and your husband steadfastly supported your son (as every parent should do but, sadly, many do not). So I thank you - not only for thanking me but for your patience and commitment to helping me to help your son, who will likely be home in time for Thanksgiving. Wishing your family all of the best! Fondly, MAH/Esq

Thankful I Hired Him
I just hired Michael Haber to assist me with a serious legal issue. Ever since I was arrested this past week, I've been reeling mentally and emotionally. I was scrambling calling a bunch of different legal services/lawyers and was stressed with finding someone I felt comfortable representing...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your kind words. I truly appreciate your recognition every bit as much as you apparently appreciate my business model and work ethic. While I remind you that we have just begun this journey, I am certain, for my part, that the positive experience that you've enjoyed thus far will continue (i.e. I will always field your calls, reply to your texts and emails, answer your questions, keep you informed of the status of your case, ask for your input when appropriate, do my best to be patient and understanding - after all you are the one who is going through trauma... I am just doing my job - and in so doing I am striving to deliver precisely what I promised you at the get go: personalized and boutique criminal defense representation). I only hope that AVVO will let you post another review at the end of your case, so that you can share similar grateful and warm words, albeit as a fully satisfied client with a closed case. Thanking you again. Fondly, MAH/Esq
"I endorse this lawyer. I first met Mike about 20 years ago when I was a Special Prosecutor in the Narcotics Unit at the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office. He was and still is a hard working and knowledgable attorney, who fought for his client then and still does today. He has always been honest, fair and ethical. He is always fighting to achieve the best possible results for his clients. When I left the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office to start my private practice, I maintained my relationship with him and he and I would consult each other on some of our individual cases. He is a wealth of information and our friendship has grown over the years. Currently we co-host a podcast on Mondays at 2p.m. on Miami's Community Newspapers on Facebook Live titled "At Your Service with Haber and Martinez.""
"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 Mike Haber. He is a knowledgeable, zealous attorney with decades of experience helping his clients. His answers on this platform showcase his wealth and breadth of legal knowledge, as well as his direct and sound advice. Although we practice in different areas of the state, I have spoken to Mike at length about his practice. After having done so, I am confident that Mike is a lawyer you want on your side in the courtroom. When hiring a lawyer, be sure that lawyer has the experience, knowledge, and skills necessary to effectively defend your case. If you are worried about a crime, know that Mike is one of those lawyers."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Mr. Haber is a brilliant legal mind and respected by his peers. I have had the pleasure of co-answering many legal questions on the Avvo platform and Mr. Haber always has an insightful answer to share. I would not hesitate to count on Mr. Haber!"
"I have consistently seen Michael providing detailed and thoughtful responses to the many questions that pop-up in the Q&A section on Avvo. I have no doubt that he provides his clients with the same great legal advice."
"Simply put, Attorney Haber knows criminal defense. He is familiar with criminal statutes, the case law and criminal procedure. But what sets Attorney Haber apart is his mastery of strategy. Make no mistake, you are in excellent hands with Attorney Haber defending you. I fully recommend him."
"It has been my pleasure to work with Mr. Haber in the Avvo forums answering legal questions. Mr. Haber always has a grasp for the client's needs and his vast knowledge and experience lend to his ability to offer sound legal advice. After reviewing his astute legal guides, I was even further impressed. It is my pleasure to endorse this lawyer."
"A shark. I'd recommend Mr Haber to my family if they needed criminal defense, without a doubt. Highly experienced and well recommended."
"Mr. Haber is a skilled and experienced lawyer whose legal expertise is displayed through every answer he has written on Avvo and through the awards he has earned for his legal work. The reviews he has received reveal his dedication to applying his talents to the betterment of the lives of his clients. He is an asset to our profession, and it is my pleasure to endorse him. If either myself or any family member were arrested, the first call I would make would be to Michael."
"Attorney Haber and I met when I noticed that there was one attorney on Avvo that always answered the criminal law questions that come out first. I have reviewed hundreds of analyses by attorney Haber from injunctions to bond issues, and everything in-between. There is no attorney with a better conceptual understanding of the law and promptness in its truest form."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Haber possesses the knowledge, expertise and dedication to help his client's navigate through the criminal justice system."
"Mr. Haber is an incredibly skilled criminal defense attorney. I am constantly amazed at the depth and breadth of his criminal defense knowledge. One needs to look no further than his Avvo guides and YouTube info videos to see that Mr. Haber is able to boil complex legal issues into terms that non-attorneys can understand. This rare and important skill allows Mr. Haber to more effectively communicate with juries to deliver favorable results for his clients. If I, or someone I cared about, was ever in trouble in the Dade County area, I would not hesitate to seek out Mr. Haber for representation."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Haber has shown consistent mastery of criminal defense topics and is an asset to the community."
"Mr. Haber is always willing to provide advice to both lawyer and clients alike. His answers are straightforward and pragmatic. Since I don't practice in the Miami area, Michael is an attorney that I would refer clients to without hesitation. I strongly endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Extremely knowledgeable and generous with his free advice to the community. I look forward to reading his responses to community questions. Never disappointed."
