Con mucho gusto Enrique. I answer a lot of questions on AVVO (22,676 at last count) and I field more AVVO generated emails and phone calls than I care to count (noting that A) people contact me at all times and on all days - in fact I got a call at 10:45 pm from Jacksonville last - Sunday - night and B) that more than 95% of the contacts are not even potential clients for #HaberPA), but all the effort is made entirely worthwhile when I get rare feedback like yours. I'm very happy to have been able to help you and I am most grateful for your kind time and expression of gratitude. Best wishes to you and yours. Fondly, MAH/Esq

Greatful Client

I contacted attorney Michael Haber in May, 2017. I had just been arrested in Miami, Florida and, as an out of state resident I didn’t know what I was facing or where to begin. I searched the internet for Miami area attorneys. I was very impressed with Mr. Haber’s website and the reviews that I read... there. I called Mr. Haber early on a Saturday morning and explained to him my situation. We spoke for two hours. He very quickly gauged my worries and anxieties regarding my arrest. He began to put me at ease by calmly and thoughtfully detailing my options and how we should proceed. I was impressed by what he said and hired him to represent me. I spoke to no other attorneys and as things turned out I didn’t need to. My decision to retain Mr. Haber proved to be what I hoped for. Mr. Haber arranged to represent me in my absence, saving me from having to travel from my home in New Jersey to Florida. I met Mr. Haber at what was the lowest point in my life. But I have been able to come through this with the love and support of my family, and in a very large way because of my decision to retain Mr. Haber. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Haber to anyone facing any law enforcement matters. I recommend him not only because of his knowledge and skills but also for his temperament and demeanor. Throughout this whole ordeal he always kept me aware of my case and what was required of me. He was a calming influence at a time in my life when I most needed it. My family and I remain eternally grateful to him.

Dear Don, Please accept heartfelt thanks to a "Grateful Client" from a much obliged attorney. While you are the 165th person to leave an AVVO Client Review for #HaberPA and to comment on either my access, availability and communication with the client or my experience, knowledge and skill, admittedly, I'm not always praised for my "temperament and demeanor", and so for that I am also in your debt. In your case, perhaps this was because your "low" was my professional par (or maybe I'm just a softie at heart under an otherwise gruff interior... :-). Regardless, you religiously followed my two golden rules of representation ( 1) Do what you are supposed to do, when and how you are supposed to do it and 2) Do not do anything that you are not supposed to do) and, with a sprinkle of luck (from an inexperienced Assistant State Attorney who was neither prepared nor adequately skilled), your case broke entirely in our favor (and precisely as I predicted when we first spoke on that fateful Saturday morning). I'm thrilled for you and for your family and I am proud to now be able to call you my former client and current friend. Please give my regards to your family, take care and thank you again! Fondly, MAH/Esq

DUI

A long time friend referred me to Mike Haber for a criminal case. In the beginning I was skeptical however when we had our first meeting I knew that this would work out well. Mike explained everything to me in a way that I understood. He kept every word that he gave me from start to finish and he d...id everything that he said he would do. At the end of my case I had an unexpected problem and I was happily surprised at just how far Mike went, above and beyond. I am very glad that I hired Mike Haber and I recommend him to anyone.

Dear Onile, Thank you for taking the time to share something of your experience with #HaberPA with the folks. Right up front I understood your initial skepticism (and I even appreciate your telling the folks about it here) but in the end (and not withstanding your "unexpected problem"... there's no need for us to go there) things went precisely as I predicted. Why? Because there's a world of difference between "talking the talk" and "walking the walk", and in your case both you and I did our respective shares of walking. Congratulations on A) your ultimate victory in court and B) on becoming #HaberPA's 164th AVVO Client Review, and again, thank you ever so much for your kind time and effort. Gratefully, MAH/Esq

Kind and Compassionate

Mr. Habar, Esq, was very kind and compassionate, showing great empathy toward myself and in turn family by taking the time to thoroughly answer my questions in regards to a criminal matter. I appreciated his sincere, matter of fact and honest approach to my questions and concerns, whi...ch were inquiries about a criminal case. Based on my interaction with attorney Haber, I would recommend him to anyone who found themselves in need of a good lawyer!

Dear Jaime, Thank you very much for your kind words, as well as your time and effort in sharing your experience with me with the folks. For their further benefit, I had initially simply responded to a question that you had posted on AVVO, but that led to a series of follow-up e-mail communications between you and I (it seems that each of my answers generated yet more questions, which prompted more answers still, and so on). To be perfectly honest, your interest, curiosity and sincerity compelled me to continue until we finally reached a satisfactory ending point. Being able to engage in a helpful capacity with you was my privilege, and I am both elated to see (read) your impressions and am grateful for the same. Wishing you and your family all the best. Sincerely, MAH/Esq

Best Results From Michael

I have known Mike Haber since childhood, I follow him on FaceBook & Even Watch his Educating Lawerly Videos On Utube.. I have to say I never would of thought that I would have to hire him as my attorney.. but life Throws us all kinds of Unfortunite circumstances & I guess I am now proof of that.. one... never knows? I found myself in trouble with the law, I was Panic Stricken & Reached out to Mike Haber.. I had Legal issues in 2 Seperate Counties which both were far away from his office.. Mike put me in touch with 2 of his Colleagues to assist in both counties, one of them handled it “Flawlessly” the other situation was more complicated.. After Explaining the situation to Mike He then “Personally” Stepped In even though it was well out of His way, & Handled it “Flawlessly” as Well.. I would like to say I’m Suprised? Though I am not.. Mike Always was a reliable, Stand up guy.. & I now know he is like that as a lawyer as well.... Mike Smoothed out all the wrinkles & got my case closed, without court cost or penalties, Quickly & Acceptibly... He Also Didn’t Charge me Extra as I had All ready paid his Colleagues.. From day 1 Mike gave me Peace of Mind & , made my Unfortunite String of Events .. A Walk in the Park.. I was Petrafied I would be incarcerated, Mike assured me not to worry that I won’t be Incarcarated , His Word is as good as a Hand Shake... Prior to this I Honestly never would of thought of hiring Mike Haber as my Attorney, due to my Unfortunite String Of Events life Happens, Unfortunite Circumstances Happen... One never knows? If You Want Peace of Mind and an Attorney Who will give you the Best Defense Possible... Then Mike Haber Should Be Your Attorney .. Hands Down.. Thanks Again Mike... Pam

Dear Pam, Thank you very much for sharing your very personal experience with the folks. I am grateful for everything that you said (in what is now #HaberPA's 162nd AVVO client review). It's always added pressure - a sort of "extra challenge" - when you represent friends, and so, honestly, I was kind of relieved to learn that your issues were well outside of my personal geographic comfort zone. I referred you to trusted colleagues and confidently and cozily reassured you as a sort of law coach, but when you had a problem I felt obligated to make sure that it was handled to your complete satisfaction. I, and the rest of the cyber-world, now know that in that regard I was successful. Your having recognized me as "a reliable, stand-up guy" - especially on both personal and professional levels - is about as wonderful a compliment as I could ever hope to receive, and so I accept it, humbly, graciously and respectfully. Thank you for trusting me, first for my advise, then for my referrals and finally for my own craftsmanship. All the best, MAH/Esq.

Relationship: Friend

"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."

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."

"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."
