This is why I refer to #HaberPA / Michael A.

Case dismissed!! Thank you Mike!!!
While traveling back to Arkansas from the Keys I was stopped by the Miccosukee tribal police and charged with reckless driving, a CRIMINAL traffic offense requiring a court appearance in Miami-Dade county. I desperately called about 3 attorneys with positive AVVO reports late on a Friday afternoon a...
Dear Bill, I could not be prouder than to have received your review. Real life feedback such as yours (1) from a tourist, 2) who reached out to multiple qualified lawyers, 3) who was comforted after speaking with me, 4) who acknowledges my availability, my ability, desire and willingness to communicate with my client and 5) who avers that I truly say what I will do and then do precisely what I said that I would do, without making excuses or passing the buck) is heartfelt praise in it's highest form. This is who I am and what I have crafted HaberPA to be: A "Boutique" Criminal, DUI & BUI Defense Litigation Law Firm. For nearly 26 years (since 1991) I have made it my professional goals to: A) to be honest and realistic about litigation objectives; B) to be fair in regard to fees; C) to be consistently available and responsive to the client (in person, by phone call, text, email, and through Facebook. Twitter, YouTube and otherwise); D) to keep the client fully informed; and E) to secure positive feedback and a 5-star client review at the conclusion of each case. I am proud to once again be able to say "Mission Accomplished" in your case. Thanking you and wishing you all of the best in luck and success. Fondly, MAH/Esq

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney
From the first phone call to the Judges decision we knew we had finally found a lawyer that will FIGHT for your rights. This is a no nonsense guy who works hard for YOU giving of his time, expertise and experience. Shall I say SHARK! There is blood in the water! THIS MAN KNOWS THE LAW and will put ...
Thank you Linda. Your husband's case was completely bumbled and, dare I say, incompetently handled, by his prior lawyer. It's tragic... almost as tragic as the p*ss poor police performance which resulted in his unlawful arrest. Fortunately, a relatively quick view of the locus in quo (sorry... "the crime scene") + a walk-through demonstration + a top-tier private investigator (who generated a digital recreation) + a comprehensive understanding of Florida's "Stand Your Ground" / self-defense law led to a rapid evidentiary hearing and a favorable ruling dismissing the case. But... you and your husband's continued belief, cooperation and understanding were clutch. In this case I engineered a "flank approach" to the case, and you helped by funding, organizing and seeing to fruition my vision. In the end we all did our jobs, and justice was served. Criminal defense lawyering is a team effort. I have a top-tier and irreplaceable partner and an extremely reliable and talented investigator, but both are worth a fraction of their weight without a client (and his wife) who serve as the glue that keeps it all together. So I thank you for your kind words, I thank you for your unwavering commitment to helping me to help your family precisely as I outlined it (even when you didn't understand the why of it or necessarily want to do as I asked) and, most importantly, I thank you for being you. Through this ordeal (a 3 month power-through session) we spent a great deal of time with one another. As proud as I am of the job that the we accomplished together I am even prouder to call you and your husband my friends. Earnestly and Humbly, MAH/Esq

Arguably the best criminal law attorney in Miami
I was charged with two felonies of grand theft and uttering a forged instrument in Dade County and interviewed several attorneys to take my case. Despite the unbelievable levels of stress and paranoia that the prospect of encarceration can bring, I was determined to carefully evaluate every attorney ...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for the awesome and detailed review. I have found that there are 2 types of criminal defense lawyers: There are those who blindly quote fees and then there are lawyers like myself, who take the time to fully (as fully as possible anyhow) A) understand the facts and circumstances of the case - both as alleged by the government and by the client, B) envision the various paths that are available to the client, C) come to understand the client's personal needs and position, D) educate the client so that a realistic objective - in light of both the government's case and the client's situation - can be targeted, E) formulate a plan to achieve the litigation objective and F) only then quote a legal fee which has been fairly tailored to the work to be performed in light of the client's chosen path. In 25+ years of criminal defense practice I have found that the key to a successful attorney-client relationship (actually I suppose that it is key to all meaningful relationships) is open and honest communication, and, as such, discourse is necessarily a 2-way street. So, not only do I keep my client fully informed, but I also listen to what my client has to say (for A) I do not presume to know everything, B) I recognize that the client looks at things through a different prism than I and C) no one is more vested in the outcome of the case than the client). I go into every case telling potential clients (just as I did with you) that the reviews they read online were all - each and every one - earned, that my end game is to earn their review at the conclusion of their case and that the decision-maker - the Judge of my legal services - is the client (meaning, if I do not deliver "as advertised" then you won't deliver a heartfelt and positive client review). So, in your case, it seems that the mission was accomplished. I am elated that you were happy enough with my services to merit such a rave review. So just as you thank me so too do I thank you, and I wish you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous 2017. Fondly, MAH/Esq

Michael Haber is the Most Brilliant Criminal Defense Attorney in Miami
Michael Haber is the LAST PERSON THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD EVER HAVE TO HIRE... A "CRIMINAL" DEFENSE ATTORNEY for such a nice Jewish girl??!!! But, truth be told.... This little English teacher found herself arrested for petty theft in September of this year!!! YES, that's right... Even English teache...
Thank you Jodi, for a most impassioned, and unexpected, review. I was happy to take the time to speak with you, to explain, in detail, both your situation and the various options and then, once you decided to enter (and to successfully complete) a diversion program, to recommend - strictly based upon geography and cost efficiency - that my partner be the one to assist you in navigating your successful registration. I wholeheartedly agree that you "did the right thing by following [my] advice", but what happens henceforth is entirely upon you, so I encourage you to remember, and to abide by, the 2 golden rules: 1) Do what you are supposed to do, when and how it is supposed to be done; and 2) Do not do anything that you are not supposed to do. If you abide by those maxims then, come March you will be home free (meaning that your case will be dismissed, we can begin the expungement process and your State issued license will not be jeopardized; conversely...). As for me being "unique and ONE in a MILLION.... I trust you with my LIFE and so should others! I wish you all the BEST", please insert "blushing emoji" here. :-) Seriously, thank you. I take great pride in A) making each client feel "special" (because they all deserve "special" treatment) and B) in offering all the time and attention that is required to fully inform the client as to all aspects of her/his legal situation, both initially and all throughout the course of the case. One person's $40 petit theft is another person's homicide. Any arrest / allegation of criminality is treated "heart attack serious" in my office. Fortunately, in your case, I believe that you will make a complete recovery. :-) Thank you again. Please enjoy a happy and a healthy New Year and, if you follow Rules #1 and 2 then by June or July this matter will be expunged.

Best decision to hire Mr. Haber
Lives change in matter of minutes and the unexpected and uncertainty takes over and you begin to look at the future with despair with a resolution that seem far out of reach. That was my precise situation years ago, when I found myself on the wrong side of the law and needed legal representation. How...
Thank you for your kind words Ana. Yes, our legal system can be quiet messy, especially to the untrained eye; but there is rhyme and reason to be found, most especially if one knows where to look. I take great pride in my (now 115 AVVO) client reviews, and I know that there are 2 absolute certainties about them: 1) Each and every client review has been 100% earned (no one takes the time to think about, then author and submit a review unless I have performed as advertised) and, as you have so eloquently pointed out, 2) Prospective clients read, and can rely upon, what my actual clients have reported about their experience with my law office. I am elated that you were "Happy AVVO Customer # 115" ( :-) ) and I thank you for taking the time to share your experience with # 116, et al. 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."
