Great Lawyer!
I had an outstanding experience with Michael Haber and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. After being stopped by FHP and issued a Notice to Appear for possession, I felt overwhelmed as it was my first time dealing with the legal system. Michael explained the entire process clearly and...
Dear Anonymous, I am elated that you chose to author #HaberPA's 259th 5-Star Client Review on AVVO "incognito" as I'm eager to share 3 detailed facts (to wit: informed choice, remote representation & early intervention) about your case with the folks & I couldn't've done so (not with any level of detail anyhow) had you ID'd yourself. That said let's get to it! INFORMED CHOICE: There are only a few ways that a Criminal Case can resolve (i.e. The State can "No Action" at Arraignment, the defense can levy a successful "Dispositive Pretrial Motion" - e.g. a Motion to Dismiss, Motion to Suppress or Motion for Statutory Immunity pursuant to Florida's Stand Your Ground Law - an agreed Plea Bargain can be brokered, Pretrial Diversion can be offered & successfully completed or the case can proceed to Verdict after either a Bench Trial or a Jury Trial) & it's incumbent on every Criminal Defense Lawyer to explain these options to potential clients. But, so as to offer responsible advise, a responsible Defense Lawyer must know the facts & circumstances, understand the State's case, identify the relative strengths & weaknesses, develop potential Defense Evidence, consider the various "free radicals" / variables in order to present viable paths & if asked then suggest the most prudent path to the Client in light of the Client's unique situation. In your case you reside in The 954 & were stopped by FHP in St. Lucie County for Speeding. The Trooper claimed to smell weed, ordered you out of the car, searched inside & located "leaf" marijuana, a grinder, a "vape pen" & rolling papers in a backpack which was in passenger seat area. The search of the car is at least arguably unlawful (some Florida Courts have held that humans are physically incapable of differentiating illegal THC from lawful hemp via smell & could find that what happened here was an illegal search & seizure, but other Courts look at it differently) & there was a definite legal question about the warrantless search of the backpack. We discussed these facts & you decided that the risks & costs associated with litigating a Motion to Suppress wasn't worth the ease & certainty of securing a dismissal via Diversion. Meantime I directed you to secure a Medical Marijuana Card (both because it's safer to use THC in The Sunshine State with a MMC & also as I expected that I could use it as a bargaining tool) & in the interim we kept our options open. REMOTE REPRESENTATION: Each Florida jurisdiction has it's own idiosyncrasies & as I don't routinely practice in St. Lucie County I'm unfamiliar with their proclivities. As such I suggested that if you wanted to litigate (as opposed to mitigate) then you'd likely be better served by hiring local counsel (who's familiar with the Judge, the Prosecutor & their policies and protocols), but you were adamant that you wanted PTD. As you had no priors & non-violent charges I was relatively sure that you'd qualify & so I opened a dialogue with the local State Attorney's Office, inquiring as to your eligibility & my ability to offer "remote representation". EARLY INTERVENTION: As you came to me within 24 hours of your Arrest (you were not taken into custody, rather you were given a PTA / Promise to Appear / Notice to Appear) I had a large window within which to maneuver, which gave us a strategic advantage (i.e. had you come to me with but a few days before Arraignment then we'd be playing defense instead of offense). It took just over 3 weeks for your file to be uploaded into the Clerk's system & for the State to open their file & during that window 2 critical things happened. First you in fact secured your MMC & second I learned both that you were PTD eligible & that we could navigate the process remotely. That said when I provided The State with your MMC they opted to file "No Information" / administratively dismiss your case (so you won quick, cheap & entirely). Thanks for the leap of faith & for your kind, nameless words. Fondly, MAH/Esq. #HaberPA

We could not have asked for a more perfect resolution!!!
My son is a law student at U. of Miami. He is still on my auto insurance policy because he is in school. While stopped in front of a police car at a redlight in Miami, the officer used a scanner to randomly check my son's license plate. The state system erroneously indicated that he was an uninsured...
Dear Rob, Thank you for your kind words in the form of #HaberPA's 251st 5-Star Client Review. I'd be remiss were I not to point out that your son, who's both a most responsible young man & thus a tribute to you & his Mom, submitted a prior (#249) 5-Star Client Review, & while he did so anonymously your (kind to me but perhaps not so considerate of your son) inadvertently called him out; but as he did nothing wrong, & in any event his were not the "charges of the century", I suppose that there's no harm & thus no foul. That said you & I met in 1988 as "1Ls" at "Harvard South Campus" (i.e. Nova University Law School) & we've been friends for 35+ years. After law school you moved to central Florida & started a lucrative PI / Personal Injury practice whereas I remained in SoFlo (specifically in The 305) plying my trade as a Criminal Defense Litigator. While we don't get to see one another nearly often enough we've maintained contact & our friendship has blossomed into one which incorporates mutual professional admiration & respect. As I'm sure is the situation whenever a PI client entrusts you with her/his case (& therefore possibly her/his economic future), so too is it a source of pride each time that a client bestows upon me their confidence by affording me the privilege of being responsible for their liberty. That said this holds especially true whenever a parent effectively gives me "custody" over their child's liberty, & even more so when that parent happens to be an attorney. It goes without saying to you but is important for the benefit of the folks who read this to know that it's far easier for a lawyer to locate another lawyer for representation (be it for themselves, a loved one or a client) than it is for civilians, many (if not most) of whom have no base of knowledge from which to select the right attorney. Personal recommendations are always both a welcomed & valued referral source, but back in the day when you & I began our respective professional journeys the most common method for locating a lawyer was to literally "let your fingers do the walking" & peruse the "Yellow Pages". Nowadays the physical aspect has tracked technology & evolved into "type your query, click your mouse & let your eyes peruse the pay-for-click Google hits", which is a far more perilous path than the extinct Yellow Pages. This is so as while legit, honest, ethical, diligent lawyers exist in the digital universe in order to find them you have to parry your way through a relentless stream of phony, manufactured, "would-be" choices, particularly those who either possess tech-talent sufficient to create the persona that they wish to be seen (like a modern day Wizard of Oz) or those who are slick enough to hire some tech-savvy miscreant who'll paint the picture on the lawyer's behalf. In this light that's a main reason why reviews like yours (& your son's) are so meaningful (to wit: They convey to potential clients real world experiences, impressions & valuations which can be considered & factored into the hiring calculus). I suppose that some venal lawyers post "scam" reviews (in fact & without naming names I know for certain that some are that unscrupulous) but anyone who reads enough of a given lawyer's Client Reviews will likely see for themselves which are genuine & which are, well, BS. Before I finish I want to add one more thing: As a lawyer you were absolutely correct to recognize that even an innocent, trivial matter like your son's comes with what we in the Criminal Defense industry refer to as "collateral consequences" (i.e. a "Scarlett Letter"), & that especially when it comes to matters such as professional licensing (be it with The Florida Bar or elsewhere) the "ripple effects" can be damning, ergo the need for competent & comprehensive representation. Here you entrusted me to do right by your son & I couldn't be prouder than to have been chosen & to have performed as expected. Ty again Counselor. All the best! MAH/Esq. #HaberPA

Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your kind words in the form of #HaberPA's 249th 5-Star Client Review on AVVO. As no one knows who you are I'm quite comfortable sharing something about your situation with the folks. Yours was a common tale. You were NOT stopped for any traffic violation (i.e. you weren't speeding, you didn't blow through a "traffic control device" & you didn't have any "defective equipment"); rather you were stopped because your license plate / your vehicle was "red-flagged" by a "License Plate Recognition Camera" (a/k/a a "Digital Watcher"). For those who don't know LPRs are stationary cameras operated by Law Enforcement agencies which scan each & every license plate that passes by & alerts Police when a corresponding "red-flag" appears (typical situations are "Amber Alerts" - but also Silver, Purple & Blue Alerts, Unassigned Tag, Stolen Tag or Stolen Vehicle alerts & the dreaded "Driving with a Suspended License" alerts - note that as it applies to you I'll chime in on this last category more below). In your case a LDR DWLS hit resulted in a stop & ultimately a Promise to Appear arrest / Notice to Appear arrest for a Financial Responsibility Suspension / FR Suspension which was due to a reported insurance lapse as well as a Traffic Infraction citation for DWLS-Unknowningly. As to these offenses the DWLS-FR is a Criminal Traffic offense (with a mandatory Court appearance) & the Unknowing-DWLS is a Traffic Infraction. The reason that you were given a PTA / NTA (as opposed to being 'cuffed, stuffed into a squad car, perp-walked into the jail, booked, forced to either post bond or attend an Initial Appearance / Bond Hearing & then secure some form of pretrial release) was a combination of your neither harassing nor challenging your Stop Officer (rather you were polite, respectful & demurred to his authority) coupled with the fact that Officer Friendly (who could just as easily have become, in true to life Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde fashion, Officer Unfriendly, had you behaved differently) believed you when you explained that while the car is registered to you it's your parents, who reside further upstate, that maintain your insurance & whatever the screw-up may have been it happened without your knowledge. (Aside alerts: 1) Anyone who follows #HaberPA knows that we routinely advise against making statements to Law Enforcement in the moment - be it on the roadside, at a crime scene / "locus in quo", in an interrogation room or elsewhere- & instead to #UPx2 - i.e. "Shut-Up and Lawyer-Up" / invoke both The 5th & The 6th - but sometimes, like here, your heartfelt explanation can be the difference between "going for the ride" or being permitted to go about your business; & 2) when it comes to "Big Brother" DWLS stops the LDR only "knows" that the registered owner's driver license is suspended & as anyone could be driving the car at any given moment Cops have an obligation to ensure that the driver is in fact the registered owner, for if s/he is not then & should the red flag be the only basis for the detention then the stop is illegal, violating The 4th Amendment.) Anyhow, in this case you truly did not know, as soon as you became aware you so advised your parents, they immediately fixed the insurance glitch (as it turns out they had switched companies mid-policy & there was some communication failure between the insurance entities & FL-DMV, resulting in your FR suspension) & you immediately reinstated your DL so, by the time that your Dad called me he was able to provide me with proof of insurance (i.e. "Dec-Sheets" from both companies) & you were able to provide me with a screenshot of your reinstated FL-DL, both of which I was able to deliver to the State & the Court well in advance of your Arraignment & resulting in a prompt "Nolle Pros" / dismissal. You & your Dad did your "jobs" (were responsible), thus permitting me to do mine. Thanks for being a stellar client & for the review! Fondly, MAH/Esq. #HaberPA

Professional, Straigh-forward, Knows Every Letter of the Law
Mike Haber was referred to me last year by a family relative who had contracted his services for a DUI charge back in 2014. Last year, I needed legal representation for a DUI charge. As I was considering various options, Mr. Haber was presented to me as a sharp, no-nonsense attorney who proceeds wi...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your kind words in the form of #HaberPA's 248th Client Review on AVVO! As you're "Anonymous" I'm comfortable in discussing your situation with the folks, but before I do I want to take a moment to say that there aren't many things that make me feel prouder than receiving a referral from someone whom I previously represented, & this is most especially so when the referring source is a loved one of the new potential client. This always touches me on a very personal level as it implicitly speaks volumes about the degree of confidence, faith & trust that I must necessarily have instilled in the prior client / referral source in order for her / him to recommend #HaberPA to her / his loved one. That said, & as to your statement that "DUI/BUI/DWI is one of his core competencies", over the course of 32+ years #HaberPA has represented folks in literally hundreds of DUI / BUI cases, but I'd be remiss were I not to note that we're also highly proficient in general criminal defense litigation "from Misdemeanors to Mayhem to Murder, from DUI to Disorderly Conduct to Domestic Violence, from Shoplifting to Stalking to Solicitation, from Theft to Trespass to Tampering" & beyond. Still, we're talking DUI, & while we wish a DUI/BUI on no one, should you find yourself on the wrong side of Officer Unfriendly then while we can't physically be there to help you on the roadside there are plenty of "Pro-Tips" that we can offer (many of which you can find on #MichaelHaberLaw - #HaberPA's YouTube channel / VideoFAQ which presently has 401 short, informative and entertaining "Webisodes", many of which are dedicated to DUI, BUI & DMV concerns) which, if you bear in mind, may well serve your interests in the long term even if not in the short term (i.e. as many a Cop has unaffectedly opined, "You may beat the rap but you won't beat the ride"). In your case you were stopped because you ran a stop sign that happened to be perpendicular to a manned squad car. The Stop Officer claimed that you took 2 blocks to pull over, during which time you almost caused a traffic accident at another intersection at which you also reportedly failed to stop & when you did ultimate pull over you were several feet off of the curb, thus obstructing traffic. Claiming to observe all of the "tell tale" signs of impairment he offered & you agreed to take Roadside Sobriety Tests / Field Sobriety Tests (which you did not perform to the Officer's standards) & you refused to provide a breath sample / blow into a Breathalyzer / Intoxilyzer after which you were arrested. We secured & reviewed the Body Worn Camera / BWC footage & you were objectively impaired. Because of the indisputable video footage we knew that we didn't have a viable Trial case but as you had no priors were were able to secure your entry into, & your ultimate successful completion of, DUI Diversion, resulting in a "break-down" to a "Wet-Reckless" (i.e. a "withhold of adjudication" to Reckless Driving & a dismissal of the DUI), which given the facts was your best case scenario. That said & for the benefit of others DUI Investigators almost never tell you that FST's are voluntary & that you DO NOT have to take them; rather they merely "offer" them to you with all of the accoutrements & color of authority (usually including a proverbial "Gaggle of Gendarme" uncomfortably surrounding you) which almost always results in the driver's acquiescence. Had you refused FSTs & breath (i.e. a "double refusal) then the State's "evidence" would have have been limited to uncorroborated Police subjective observations & we'd've had a far better defense case. Your lack of priors gave you an option that anyone with a prior DUI, or who's involved in a traffic crash or who suffers from any of the many "diversion disqualifiers" would be denied. Anyhow it worked out well for you, I'm thrilled that you're happy & I hope that you don't have to refer me to any of your loved ones. Ty again! Fondly, MAH/Esq. #HaberPA

Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your fantastic & generous words in the form of #HaberPA's 246th AVVO Client Review! You provided me with an opportunity to speak to the folks about how #HaberPA can serve not only in our traditional role as Criminal Defense Lawyer but also a a Victim Rights Advocate / VRA. As to the latter, per "Marsy's Law", a/k/a "The Florida Crime Victims' Bill of Rights", both constitutionally (s. 16, Art. I of the Florida's State Constitution) & by statute (see: Chapter 960 Florida Statutes) in Florida Crime Victims enjoy a bevvy of rights. The law empowering crime victims came into effect after Marsalee (Marsy) Ann Nicholas, then 21, had been stalked & murdered by her ex boyfriend in CA, triggering nationwide attention & a call to action. More specifically, 1 week after her murder & while on their way home from the funeral service, Marsy’s family stopped at a local supermarket & while in the checkout line Marsy’s mother was confronted by her daughter’s murderer. Marsy's mother, Marcella, was utterly shocked as she hadn't received any notification from either the Court or the State Attorney that her daughter's killer had been released on Bail just a few days after his booking. Marsy's Law protections vary from State to State but, & sans diving too deeply into it, suffice it to say that here in Florida Marsy's Law effectively “giv[es crime] victims constitutional standing equal to that of the accused and convicted.” That observed, when #HaberPA is retained to serve as a VRA we do so with the same tenacity, zealously & comprehensive care and concern for the victim as we do for the accused in our more traditional role as Criminal Defense Counsel. In your case, while you were initially pleased with your first VRA after a while you felt that his commitment had waned, your were entirely certain that the Assistant State Attorney was not advocating on your behalf & you essentially felt both abandoned & helpless. Your passion for justice led you to seek new counsel, your research led you to #HaberPA, your impression after reading many of our Client Reviews led you to retain me & I happily took over. I will close this aspect of my response by stating that my heart is swollen with pride because of your selflessly telling others that "I am eternally grateful to this man who treated me with respect and like a sister at a time when previous lawyer and prosecution had failed me as a victim." I simply can't imagine anyone penning more meaningful, wonderful words. As to "Act 2" of your saga & as you are Anonymous I can go into some detail. You were stopped for speeding in The Florida Keys (a proverbial capital offense down there, especially as you were in a "Key Deer" area) & upon smelling marijuana a search of your vehicle turned up a felony amount of plant and gummy based THC as well as paraphernalia. You were taken into custody, given both Felony and Misdemeanor Possession charges and detained overnight until your Initial Appearance and Bond Hearing. Because we already had a relationship you contacted me upon release (pro-tip for the folks: you wisely used "your phone call" to contact someone to post bond) & I quickly mapped out and put into place a plan to quash everything. I immediately contacted the Felony Prosecutor & agreed to Waive your Speedy Trial right so as to afford you sufficient time to secure a Medical Marijuana Card / MMC, upon which the State agreed to abandon the felony and instead file a misdemeanor for which you'd be eligible for Diversion / PTI / PTD. Once I provided the State with proof of your MMC they honored their agreement, filed the MM charge at your belated Arraignment (you were never charged with a felony) & agreed to Pretrial Diversion. You successfully completed, we're in the Expungement process now &, amazingly, I got your speeding ticket dismissed. With all of that said, I thank you once again for your astonishing & touching Client Review & wish you the best! Fondly, MAH/Esq. #HaberPA
"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."
