Reckless Sriving
Mike was all over it from the start. He developed a strategy and followed that strategy to the end. A winning strategy and a winning result.
Dear Daniel, Thank you for the props. Since no one knows who you are I'm going to shed some light on the circumstances and strategy that led to the winning result in your case. You were charged with Reckless Driving (please see #HaberPA's VideoFAQ on Reckless Driving at the following link: https://youtu.be/y-0wrIv6ZJE), which is a criminal offense punishable by jail time, but, luckily for you, your arresting officer was lazy. He did not take the time to author a proper Arrest Affidavit, opting instead to simply write you a ticket, and then completely screwing up the citation by failing to provide you with constitutionally acceptable notice of the charge on the document (he had chicken-scratch, scribbled some undecipherable, unintelligible cryptic language on the ticket that was only clear on one front - it was clearly legally defective). We monitored the case and waited until the last possible moment to file a not guilty plea and to demand discovery (eating up more than 1/3 of your speedy trial time) and then when it was predictably set in branch court for trial we filed a jury trial demand (which removed the case to the main courthouse, effectively killing another 1/3 of your speedy trial time). By the time that we got a jury trial date speedies had run and the State had failed to provide discovery. By the time that the government complied with a Motion to Compel Discovery time had ticked, and so we filed our Motion to Dismiss for a Failure of Due Process as well as a Notice of Expiration of Speedy Trial time. Then, at our very 1st Court appearance (which you did not even have to attend) your citation was dismissed. To use your words this was "[a] winning strategy and a winning result", but this was so because A) your cop completed FUBAR'd the State's case and as B) I knew precisely how to take advantage of the situation. That said, I am pleased that you were pleased, I am grateful for your kind client review and I am proud for you to be # 135. Fondly, MAH/Esq.

Very knowledge in his field of law and a straight shooter
I can't say enough about Attorney Michael Haber. My significant other got in trouble with the law on a weekend and attorney Michael Haber answered my call late at night no less. He got my significant others case dismissed. I could not be more thankful or grateful for everything he has done.
Dear Maura, Thank you for your kind words and for authoring #HaberPA's AVVO client review # 136. As a 305 criminal defense and DUI lawyer (** noting that my partner and I also routinely and proudly serve the 954 and 561) I try to make myself available as close to 24/7 as is possible, and, regardless of when we speak, I do my best to listen, diagnose, provide advise and, if I can responsibly do so, then to propose both a course of action and a reasonable fee for the same. In your S/O's case he was stopped by rookie cops who completely FUBAR'd what could have been - what should have been - a slam dunk felony case. The cops who arrested your S/O were so inexperienced that they couldn't even figure out how to effectively lie on their police report so as to cover up their incompetence. Further, and fortunately for your S/O, they also failed to call in narcotics officers who actually know what they are doing and how to do it. As a private citizen, frankly, I expect much more from the police and I consider this to be a sad (if not pathetic) state of affairs; but as your S/O's lawyer I absolutely and unequivocally crammed these officer's ineptness down their throats, taking the matter to the pre-filing State Attorney and securing a "No Action" ( a dismissal) at Arraignment (which also worked to the benefit of your S/O's co-Defendant, who's case was also dismissed and who, equitably, should probably kick in some dough to help cover your S/O's legal fees). The take away here (for the folks who are reading his) is that sometimes - as in this case - when a skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyer gets involved right after an arrest the filing decision can be effected before Arraignment. This is not limited to poor police work (as in this case) and it holds true in many circumstances (for instance where there is an affirmative defense to the charge or where the credibility of the alleged victim is at issue and the State would never know it unless a defense lawyer walked in with concrete proof). Anyhow, thanking you again Marua and wishing you and your S/O nothing but the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq.

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

Criminal Defense Lawyer
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
"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."
