Michael Adam Haber

A few weeks ago, an officer dressed in civilian clothing showed up at my home claiming that my daughter was inside and that he needed to ask her some questions. Not knowing what this was about I asked him to leave and advised that she was not inside. Despite my efforts to get him to go away, he summo...ned an arrest squad to my home. Sirens were played (multiple times) and with a mega-phone he continued to insist that my daughter come outside. Eventually (after a few minutes), I let them inside to search my home. With guns in hand upon entering they searched for her with no luck. However, the lead detective essentially explained they would continue to harass me at my home and “hunt her down” until she was in custody. While the police were inside my home, I called Michael to retain him (on this case) and come up with a plan on what I should do. The plan was to coordinate a surrender. However, my daughter at the time was very pregnant and slated to be induced just a few days later. Understanding her condition, Michael did what Michael does. He got on the phone with the detective (and even the state attorney’s office) and immediately got them to backdown until she delivered her baby (he is that good!). In the meantime, the alleged victim continued to add pressure upon the police department , making Michael’s job even more difficult. But he continued to “pacifier” the detective on countless occasions. Once my daughter delivered her baby, Michael coordinated a safe surrender. We met him at the station, he thoroughly explained to her what she should expect and explained to her what her rights are and the main one being “the right to remain silent”. Michael timed the surrender so that she would spend as little time away from her newborn as possible (considering the circumstances). At the bond hearing, the State put up fight (in light of her priors) requesting that the Judge only release her with an ankle monitor. Michael informed the judge about her new born child and that If she were to have the ankle monitor she would be sitting in jail for several days - essentially, punishing the new born baby. But, even via a zoom hearing Michael commands a court room, he says what he needs to say and is relentless. My daughter was released the same day! Ive known Michael for years and he is the guy you want when you or someone you love is in jam. He is a smart guy and comes up with the best strategy in the interest of his clients.

In a world where you are not familiar with; you need someone to help you out. Nowadays people try to take advantage of you and the lack of knowledge you might have in that particular field. When you finally find an honest, knowledgeable person with a winning mentality; it’s like finding a needle in a... haystack. I found that in Michael Haber and company. My case was a situation where I was beaten up by a few guys. Even though I defended myself I left there with a big gash on my head, a few bruises and a wrongful arrest. The police officer took me to the hospital to get stiches and then to jail. All I could think about was why was I in this situation and the reason that continued to pop into my head was I did not call the police and the other people did and lied to the officers. After 18 hours in TGK I was able to bail out. Then the search began. I spoke to a couple of people that mentioned a few attorneys, but I didn’t feel comfortable with them until my cousin mentioned Michael Haber. He told me that Michael was a strategic person that gets results. I asked him for Michael’s number and I called him right away. I left him a message and within 5 minutes I received a call from Michael himself. I explained my situation and he made sure that my information was accurate. He told me he didn’t want to be blindsided. If everything was like I told him, it was a clear Stand Your Ground case. It felt like right after we hung up the phone he started to work. It also felt like I was his only client. He gave me some homework so I can understand what he was talking about. He asked me to see some videos which really helped me out personally. To make a long story short, I won my case with exactly what Michael said from day one; Stand Your Ground. Michael and company were always extremely easy to reach and when you are nervous about something like this going on it helps to be able to speak to your Lawyer directly. I would not want to be in this situation ever again but if something ever happens to someone in my family or a friend, I would definitely be calling Michael and company right away. I even had to call my cousin (who is also an attorney) and thanked him for referring Michael right after we won the case. My family and I are extremely appreciative for his hard work and more importantly for helping us get the truth out and for helping us see justice prevails.

Several months ago my husband was arrested at our home. I was present before, during, and after the incident (which didn't involve me). Despite his asking the police wouldn't let my husband make any calls so, as they were taking him away, he asked me to call Michael Haber. I found the number, cal...led and Mr. Haber answered. I admit that I was a bit panicked but Mr. Haber was patient. He listened, helped me to calm down, and explain to him what had happened. He told me that he was going to call the police himself to try to get more information and that he'd call me right back, which he did. Mr. Haber instructed me how to appear for my husband's bond hearing and the very next morning we were all on Zoom. Mr. Haber appeared, made his argument for bond, and for reasons I really didn't understand the Judge reset the bond hearing for the following morning. The next day we had another Zoom hearing and Mr. Haber was so thorough, knowledgeable and persuasive that the Judge actually released my husband with out any bond at all. I didn't understand the process at all but Mr. Haber took the time to explain everything to me, after which I definitely understood. Mr. Haber answered all of my questions and assured me that everything would be okay. He was always available and polite and respectful and generous and caring to me and my family. It took about a month for Mr. Haber to get my husband's case to trial and when he did the Judge dismissed the case. I am so grateful that Mr. Haber was there for my family because I don't know what I would have done without him.

Mr. Haber was GOD sent ( I purposefully wanted to make this as my first statement in his review, as that is ABSOULTELY ( intentional CAPS) true!). I don’t think I can do any justice as I write this review on how grateful I am that I hired him for my legal case. It was in October 2020 when I was wrong...fully arrested for an act that I couldn’t have imagined to do even in my grave. The allegations and accusations that were described by the off-duty officer (who arrested me) were so horrific that he made it impossible for me to assure anyone anything that was said was so away from the truth/reality. He not only misunderstood my situation but then fabricated the event and perjured on the affidavit. It is depressing to see those who are actually responsible to safe guard you, turn around and become a threat to you. I have been a law abiding individual throughout my life and this wrongful arrest took a toll on me. As many are aware that there are vast options of selecting an attorney in this greater Miami- Dade area, it is so difficult to assess who is competent and skilled that you can trust for your life. I on the other hand was not very fortunate to select Mr. Haber immediately after my arrest ( as I didn’t know him). Upon searching for so-called well known attorneys, I selected and appointed my previous counsel ( whose name I am not going to purposefully mention, as that will be inappropriate) as my first choice. It was an absolute wrong choice. Nine months went by with no real progress on my case, and after spending pretty penny on him I was frustrated, nervous and doubtful on a successful outcome. I kept researching online regarding Criminal Justice System and came across avvo and found Mr. Haber. Reviewing all of the fantastic (and more importantly genuine) comments made by his past clients, I decided to give him a call ( to which I am sooo glad I did). It was a 45 minute initial call with him where he not only proposed a plan (with confidence) to achieve my primary litigation objective ( obtaining diversion) but he also eased my mind as I was hopeful that may be I will be able to someday see “light in the tunnel”. He was very thorough in laying out the plan and assisting with reaching my primary litigation objective- Diversion. After nine frustrating months and no progress on the case with my previous counsel, I was switched over to Mr. Haber. As soon he was appointed as my counsel, he immediately started working on the next steps as outlined in the plan. His communication skills were impeccable! He always kept me informed along way as we worked upon our plan. In addition, he made himself always available to answer any questions I had either via text, call or email. Five weeks from retaining him, he was able to successfully execute the plan and secure diversion (think about the happiness and relief he provided, it is like getting a second life). The time line is important to note, because on my initial call he had indicated that within 4-6 weeks from retaining him he would be able to provide a definitive answer if he would be able to secure diversion from the State. He stuck with his indicated turn-around time. Because of working in healthcare industry and having a professional license, I did not want to risk a loss at trial, hence was seeking diversion ( as a best alternative). As I enroll in diversion, I hope that my day nears where I successfully complete and graduate from the program so that we can subsequently follow with expungement. Mr. Haber’s professionalism, skill set, thorough follow -up and follow -through are commendable. I am confident that he can take on any complicated case, craft and execute an excellent plan and achieve a successful outcome. I wish and pray that no one gets entangled with the legal system, as the process is very frustrating and extremely nerve wracking, but if anyone does have to face this oppressive system then be assured that Mr. Haber would be the BEST and RIGHT attorney to defend your c
