Successful Outcome -- Criminal Case

From the moment I called Michael Haber, I knew he was an attorney who would help me successfully navigate this incredibly difficult time. My first call to him was very late at night on a weekday. He not only answered the call, he provided me with information and helped ease my worry. The second phone... call and subsequent email completely lifted a weight off my shoulders. You can rest assured that Mr. Haber is very knowledgeable in his field and, if you do everything he says, there will not be any issue in reaching the goal he sets forth with you from the beginning. He is always available and is very quick in his responses. His knowledge coupled with his straightforwardness and availability is not only appreciated, but also invaluable. His prices are also very reasonable. Thank you, Mr. Haber!

Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your kind words. Please know that I very much appreciate your telling the folks who may read this (my 137th AVVO client review) about your positive experience with #HaberPA. Acknowledging that I cannot always be "Johnny-on-the-spot", I consistently do my best to field calls and offer sage advise and counsel in moments of crisis. Whether it's at the time or shortly thereafter (i.e. in response to a voicemail, text message or even a missed call), when you contact #HaberPA you will speak to me directly. I will then do my very best to educate myself about your situation so as to be able to engage in a meaningful discussion with you and then, hopefully, be able to ease your mind (although I will always tell it like it is and will not "blow sunshine up your pant leg"). Wishing you and yours the best of health, luck and success, and thanking you again for your +++ feedback! 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...voiding jail time. He was very clear with me though on the seriousness of the potential consequences of the choices I make. He's done all he could on his end at this point. It's now on me to make the right decisions, fulfill all my obligations, and get on with my life. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend Mike Haber's services. He's a straight shooter, affordable, and is committed 110% to his profession.

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

Fair, straight forward and clear!

Mr Haber was fair, straight forward and clear from the beginning. He set the right expectation from the beginning and also quoted a fair rate. Very glad he represented me in front of the court system. I highly recommend his services!

Thank you anonymous. I wish that I could offer some more insight into our relationship (naturally without disclosing any identifying details) but you have covered your tracks quite well and are truly anonymous, even to me. Regardless, I appreciate both your time in posting a 5-Star review and the props for my honesty, integrity, reasonableness, responsibility and straight-forwardness. Those characteristics are among my top goals, apparently, I achieved them in your case and I can't hope for much more. Wishing you all of the best in luck and success and thanking you again. 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 ...forth his sharp knowledge for your legal rights. My husbands case was going nowhere (unfortunately we didn't find Mike Haber first) and my husband was caught up in a legal maze. As a government employee he was put on a "no-pay" status. Fortunately I was able to keep the bills and mortgage paid exhausting all savings and dipping into retirement. A colleague referred my husband to Michael A. Haber. After our first meeting we knew that JUSTICE would FINALLY PREVAIL! In our case he worked with fellow Attorney Marc Morris. The two were brilliant in their defense in my husbands case. They GOT DONE in half the time and half the fee what the other firm couldn't or wouldn't do. If you want a fair, brilliant, seasoned, get it done Lawyer? Michael A. Haber is who you hire. We are so grateful we took his advise and counsel. My husband has been exonerated. We can not THANK him enough.

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

Midnight Arrest Emergency: Perspective of the Wife of the Arrested

My husband, a white-collar property manager with absolutely no prior legal record of any kind, was working four hours away from home for the day in an effort to offer face-to-face communication to a disgruntled party. Instead of a grateful reception, said party rescinded their welcome and called the ...local police with a falsified accusation of loitering and prowling. Despite never being asked to leave the property, my husband was arrested in this small and distant county. I became aware of his arrest at around 11 o'clock in the evening, sending my distress of his tardiness into alarm. My husband suggested that we reach out to Michael A. Haber, Esq., whom we knew through a mutual friend. I was able to reach Mr. Haber shortly before midnight. Mr. Haber was directly available and he offered his time, legal perspective, and calming expertise. Mr. Haber was knowledgeable about the relevant statutes, procedures, and corresponded with me through the night as he monitored my husband's processing and arrest via his internet savvy capabilities. The following calendar day I consulted my father, a lawyer of exceptional repute, whose areas of expertise do not include criminal law nor is he licensed in Florida. My father's suggestion was that in defense of my husband's reputation we seek to hire a high-powered and hence exorbitantly expensive lawyer in the county in which he had been arrested. Mr. Haber was generous, polite, and proficient in discussing the legal situation with our entire family. Mr. Haber offered to assist us in resolving this matter himself, or to refer us free of charge to a distinguished lawyer in the relevant county. Mr. Haber attempted to reassure us and insure us that this matter did not require the expense nor the effort of hiring local big guns. Our pockets, legal records, and hearts are grateful that we chose to select him as our legal representative. Our case was resolved with immediacy, expertise, and surprising convenience. Our sincerest thank you, Mr. Haber.

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."

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
