Money Well Spent

Well to start I would like to thank Mr. Haber and his team for all of their hard work and dedication to my case. I am a US Marine Corps Veteran that was facing a15year mandatory minimum . Over a period of two and a half years I was on house arrest with traveling restrictions Mr Haber and his team sub...mitted numerous requests to the courts for travel they all were granted. Mr Haber and his team went above and beyond to protect me from any misconduct or mistreatment from the court or state. Mr Haber and his staff they are very knowledgeable of the law and His expertise and professionalism was essential to this great success. I am very grateful that I won’t be leaving my wife and children for any amount of time. I am a free man. With a heart full of gratitude. USMC vet.

“Dear Anonymous Client, Thank you so much for your kind words (in the form of #HaberPA's 238th Client Review on AVVO) &, more importantly (to me personally), thank you for your service to our great Country as one of "the few, the proud, the Marines". Your wife submitted an anonymous review (#HaberPA's 236th on AVVO - anyone can find it 2 reviews below this one), hers was based upon her unique interaction with me while you were pretrial detained in jail, unable to post bond due to the absolute ineptness of the first lawyer whom your family had hired & my detailed response was tailored to her experience. Your independent review allows me to expound on my reply to her, but with a more in depth discussion of your situation. You are an Honorably Discharged military veteran who served in Iraq & Afghanistan and who was primarily assigned to a "demining squad". Why do I know that & what relevance does it have? I know because I fully vetted your life experience with you so as to both come to understand my client & also in consideration of possible "mitigation of sentence" issues. (At #HaberPA we enter every case with the intent to "win", but "winning" has many definitions & reality dictates that while we "pull all stops" in efforting at securing a Nolle Pros / dismissal / "Not Guilty" verdict / acquittal, we'd be remiss in our duty were we to fail to consider the possibilities of either plea negotiations or an adverse judgment, the latter requiring us to contemplate mitigation strategies - i.e. ways to secure a reduction in sentence - & this is something that we do from the get go & contemporaneous with tearing apart State evidence & building a defense case.) In any event you're diagnosed with PTSD (understandably so after what you experienced in the theater of operations) & while you improve every day you've not been able to hold a job since your discharge, instead caring for your 2 young daughters while you receive VA care & your wife works full & overtime. For a literal period of years two scumbags (people you knew but not that they were Federal Confidential Informants trying to "work off" time from their own federal drug cases by proactively setting up others for arrest) had hounded you to secure cocaine for them. You repeatedly said no but they were incessant, knowing your mental state, your family's financial situation &, as predators do, sensing your weakness. Over time & with repeated promises of booty & security they wore you down, you agreed to secure 2 kilos of cocaine & when you delivered them you were arrested on the spot. As you had no prior criminal history & given the facts (both as alleged by the government & as proffered by you) we put forth a classic Entrapment Defense. We compelled disclosure of the CIs, built our case & when the time was right we filed a Written Demand for Speedy Trial. A mere handful of questions into his direct examination the CI caused a Mistrial & we had to start over. For reasons which I outlined in your wife's review the case was ultimately dismissed, but the important thing is that we skillfully & strategically wielded both the Rules of Criminal Procedure & the Rules of Evidence to take the tactical advantages which resulted in the dismissal, but we also employed a great deal of guile in accomplishing that end. That said, knowing that which you willfully sacrificed & the price that you continue to pay for that sacrifice so that I, the ones whom I love & every other American can live under the umbrella of the freedom that you & your military brethren so selflessly provide, your case was particularly meaningful to me. Noting that demining in Middle East war zones is all but unfathomable to me, still, in light of the villainous scum who simply sought personal profit from their intentional criminal acts off of your selfless service & unwilling penance is deplorable. I could not be prouder to have helped anyone else. Semper Fi & thank you again (for everything). Respectfully, MAH/Esq. #HaberPA”

Great Strategy, Great Outcome!

After a short, celebratory weekend in Miami, and a run in with Miami PD in the 305, I found myself in need of council for two misdemeanor charges. With no criminal background and no first hand knowledge of the criminal justice system, I returned to my out-of-state home to begin negotiating the charge...s and resume day-to-day life. After interviewing a handful of lawyers, Mike stood out as my primary candidate given his extensive knowledge of the Miami/ Dade justice system, as well as his step-by-step strategy to fight the charges. Although a change in state-appointed leadership altered our strategy, Mike's guidance and council lead to the dismissal of both charges. From the outset, and through the 3-4 month ordeal, Mike was readily available via phone, text, or email, providing thorough analysis and recommendations of the evolving process. I am extremely grateful to have worked with Mike and I highly recommend him.

Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your kind Client Review (#HaberPA's 235th on AVVO)! As you've not identified yourself & for the benefit of those who read this I'll elaborate a bit on your now closed case. You were arrested, booked & released after posting bond while a tourist in The 305. Upon returning to your hometown you began a long distance search for representation. I don't know how many lawyers you spoke with before choosing to hire #HaberPA but when we spoke, having reviewed your Arrest / Probable Cause Affidavit & with the benefit of your version of events, I took the time to thoroughly explain the possibilities, to field all of your questions, & to outline a plan of action (with contingencies). Once you agreed I embarked upon achieving your goal (to wit: a Dismissal without entering a Diversionary Program). Because you reside out of State & as yours was a Misdemeanor case the Rules of Criminal Procedure permit for remote representation; as such, together with my written Retainer Agreement I prepared & emailed you a Verified Motion to Proceed in Absentia (seeking permission for you NOT to have to appear in Court), a Verified Change of Plea in Absentia (to maintain in my file as a proverbial emergency parachute, albeit with no plan on using it) & when you returned the original notarized documents to me I waited until a day before your Arraignment to file my Appearance, Demands for Discovery & Trial & the Absentia Motion (waiting until the day before Arraignment guaranteed that ⅓ of your "Speedy Trial" time would have ticked &, knowing both the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court & State Attorney's Office as I do it was a good bet - albeit not a certainty - that a large portion, if not all of the remaining ⅔'s, would be eaten-up before the case was set for Trial & before the Prosecutor sent out the discovery). As the 90th day neared (90 days being the Speedy Trial time for a Misdemeanor arrest in FL) we had no discovery & your case was not yet set for Trial, leaving us in a dilemma. Do we file a Notice of Expiration, clue in the State & give the Judge an opportunity to ramrod us into a literal Speedy Trial or do we wait for the Trial Date to be set, see if discovery is tendered & then react accordingly? I chose the latter path, your case was set for Trial shortly thereafter (in front of a Judge who does not conduct "Sounding" / Status Hearings before Trial settings) & the State had still not provided any discovery. One week to the day before Trial I filed (but did not calendar) a Motion to Compel Discovery & a Request for a State Charged Continuance (thus preserving your Speedy Trial rights while leaving the door open to seek a dismissal at the Trial call should the State not have it's witnesses in the Courtroom & at the ready). I appeared for Trial in your absence, the State was not ready, I withdrew my Motion to Compel & to Continue, the Court denied the State's "ore tenus" (oral, in Court, without notice) request for a Continuance & your case was Nolle Pros'd / Dismissed. Why / how did that happen? Experience, that's why / how. Knowing - make that "mastering" - the Rules of Procedure & Evidence, employing guile, being aware of, attuned to & alert for loopholes & technicalities allowed me to serve you precisely as we contemplated. Had we chosen another path (such as filing the Notice of Expiration) then we may not have achieved the desired result (not as sweetly as we did anyhow). As you noted, during the course of the case (which was about 3½ months start to finish) we spoke, emailed & texted regularly (hopefully I never kept you waiting long), I kept you fully informed, you were able to live your life "as if" there was no Miami criminal case & within a reasonable amount of time I secured your Dismissal in your absence & with no further inconvenience to your life. Your trust in me both paid off for you & is greatly appreciated by me, as is your kind Client Review. Wishing you all the best! Fondly, MAH/Esq. #HaberPA

Dear Anonymous, Noting that my forename is "Mike" not "Marc" (but also that both are 1 syllable, 4 letters words including 3 consonants & 1 vowel), I want to thank you for your kind words (in the form of #HaberPA's 233rd AVVO Client Review). As you've not identified yourself & as I am well aware of who you are, I will share more about your situation with the folks so that they understand the dynamics of what led you to author this client review. You were arrested & charged in a Drug Trafficking Sting Operation. While you were pretrial detained your family hired another lawyer to represent you in the substantive case, for which you agreed to a plea deal involving probation. After serving ½ of your probationary term you found & reached out to me to assist you in securing Early Termination. (I should note that you contacted me because you were not satisfied with your original lawyer, an attorney whom I know, respect & who, from my review of the case file, in fact had done an excellent job - as an aside you went from being arrested for Cocaine Trafficking, Conspiracy to Traffic in Cocaine, Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Marijuana & Possession of Unlawful Proceeds from a Financial Transaction to receiving probation & a Withhold of Adjudication for Possession of Cocaine & Unlawful Proceeds from a Financial Transaction with all other charges Nolle Pros'd / dismissed by the State... a disposition which, all things equal & admittedly not being intimate with the facts & circumstances, is impressive... but I digress...) Anyhow, I discussed your situation with you (most especially determining your understanding of the status of your conditions of probation, i.e. what you knew / believed to have been completed & what was outstanding), I had you provide me with your POs contact information, explained that I needed to verify everything that we had discussed & that as soon as I was certain that your case was ripe for Early Termination I would prepare, file, calendar & litigate the Motion to ET Probation (aside alert: before making representations to the Court, & as President Ronald Reagan famously said, I "trust but verify"). After first securing then reviewing your disposition / sentencing documents & having a conversation with your Probation Officer I discovered that there were both outstanding obligations (court costs) & an issue with regard to your Community Service Hours. With your assistance (i.e. you promptly zero-balanced your case with the Clerk of Court & you provided your PO with proof of compliance with the CSHs), we straightened everything out & then proceeded. During the course of my representation you were Cc'd on all of my various correspondences, filings & emails (i.e. with your PO, the State, the Court, etc.) & within a few weeks time we had successfully applied for & you were granted the relief sought. Due to your own diligence you are now a free man (my role was, admittedly, "de minimus" as you were the one who had to "walk the walk", & you did so, in both a flawless & responsible fashion, thus arming me with all of the tools that I needed so as to get the desired Court Order). For the further benefit of the folks (but also as "props" for you) probation is not "easy" to survive. It is properly viewed as a a gift from an "Indian giver" in the form of a proverbial noose with just enough rope for a probationer to hang her/himself. The State knows that where one violates the hammer drops hard, the deck is stacked in their favor, the alleged violator has extremely limited rights (far fewer than in the substantive case) & most all Violations Of Probation are a veritable "slam dunk" for the State. You accepted that burden, acted prudently & dutifully, did not VOP, complied with all conditions & special conditions & as such you literally set yourself up for success. If you wish we can Seal your record but in any event you are now, once again, righteous, & I am grateful. Wishing you all the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq. #HaberPA

Best lawyer experience ever

Mr Habor is an extremely professional and wonderful Lawyer. I can remember, in the beginning of my case I was feeling very uneasy and scared of the outcome, but after I spoke to Mr. Haber over the phone regarding my case, he gave me a piece of mind that everything will work out fine. And actually it ...did. I want to thank you for being very patient and handling my case very professionally. I would definitely recommend to services to anyone that has a criminal case.

Dear Ashley, Thank you for your generous & succinct Client Review (#HaberPA's 232nd on AVVO). As there's no way to identify you I'll share some of the facts of your case with the folks, as it was complex, time-intensive & an excellent example of how planning, preparation, tenacity & patience can combine to get the best possible result. You were arrested & charged with Grand Theft & Fraud after DCF had accused you of improperly accepting benefits from it's Food Assistance Program. DCF claimed that you improperly / unlawfully filed for & received benefits totaling $29,353.64 & the State Attorney's Office blindly accepted the same, promptly a filing 2nd degree felony charge against you wherein you faced 15 years in state prison, 15 years probation, nearly $30k in restitution, a $10k fine & a permanent criminal conviction. From our first consultation you were absolutely adamant that you neither applied for nor had you received any funds to which you were not entitled. Moreover, you claimed that you yourself had been a fraud victim by an unscrupulous family member, &, as such, we set out to concurrently both prove your & to disprove the State's allegations. As we dug (there were nearly 1,000 pages of discovery, including a Tim Burton worthy nightmare-esque plethora of financial records), sorted & sifted we were able to find a series of double billings along with several over-billing errors, & with a great deal of effort, patience, tenacity & perhaps most significantly - the luck of finding an honest, approachable & understanding "Collections Supervisor" / "bean counter" at DCF in Tallahassee, we were able to confirm the same & effectively knock down the amount alleged from nearly $30k to about $18k. Further, we were ultimately able to so sufficiently scrutinize DCF's payments to you that we actually managed to get DCF to admit that of the revised figure of $18k that they claimed to be fraudulent $10k had been improperly labeled as "criminal" (as opposed to "clerical"). Because of that we were able to remove another $10k from the State's criminal case, leaving a balance of approximately $8k (thereby reducing your exposure from a 2nd to a 3rd degree felony, for which your maximum exposure dropped from 15 to 5 years, both in prison & on probation, the restitution was cut by nearly 75% - from $30k to $8k - & your potential fine was cut in half). From the get go I had encouraged you to put away as much money as you could (best case scenario you would have a pile of cash to do with what you wish & worst case you'd have restitution money readily available) & as such by the time that we had chiseled the restitution amount down to $8k you had $3k to put "down", importantly leaving the balance of your criminal restitution at just under $5k. Why was this significant? Because here in The 305 / Miami-Dade County, the threshold for being admitted into Pretrial Diversion / PTD (a/k/a Pretrial Intervention / PTI) is $5k. Where one's restitution is above $5k then that is an absolute barrier to admission but, where one can get underneath that arbitrary boundary (& assuming that one is otherwise qualified, or, better stated, "not disqualified") then admission is all but certain. As you had no prior criminal history & your "victim" (DCF) didn't object you were "otherwise qualified", & as we deflated the restitution to less than $5k you were admitted into the program (successful completion of which would - did in fact - result in a dismissal). It took a year for you to make full restitution but you did, & as you had no complications during that time period you earned your dismissal (although I've congratulated you already, once again "congrats"). This was truly a complex, time-intensive case & also an excellent example of how planning, preparation, tenacity & patience can combine to get the best possible result. We did it together, as a team, and now you're part of the #HaberPA family! Thanking you again & wishing you all the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq.

The Best Outcome In Light of the Circumstances

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.

Dear Sarah, Thank you for sharing your daughter's situation. Without violating confidence or disclosing confidential, privileged information I'll expound as much as I can for context. Plain and simple, the Detective who showed up at your house was a d*ck, a complete & utter d*ck. I get that he had a job to do but there's no reason why it had to be done with such attitude, disrespect & a wanton disregard for your family. You called me in real time (while he was there with the warrant squad, noting both that he didn't have a warrant & that he was out of his jurisdiction, having traveled to your home in another city without any representative from your city's PD, much less noticing them of his intent) & when you asked him to speak with your / your daughter's lawyer he refused. He wouldn't explain the "why" of anything to you, rather he simply & rudely lobbed & levied threats (I could hear him in the background... inexcusable) to you & yours until he was satisfied that your daughter was not on scene. To be honest I was incensed, with a gut reaction of advising you to file an Internal Affairs complaint against him (again, even if he were justified in his ends his means were insufferably unbecoming, & cops like that should not be on the street interacting with civilians), but revenge is a dish best served cold (& believe you me, he will get his, but I digress...). I called the PD but only got voicemail so, presuming that Officer Unfriendly was ducking me I reached out to a friend at the State Attorney's Office who agreed to contact the PD & get the Detective to accept my call, which he thereafter did. He explained to me why he was there (i.e. Domestic Violence allegations from your daughter's baby-father), what his Probable Cause was & what charges he planned on levying. I then explained to him that your daughter was due to be induced in 72 hours time & that the booking process would jeopardize both her & the baby. It took a direct quasi-threat that I was following up our discussion with an email to him, to his superiors (e.g. his Lt., Capt, & Chief) & to the State Attorney's Office documenting the risk that he was contemplating, together with the facts that while his complaining witness (a proven liar who has his own Domestic Violence criminal past with your daughter) claimed a mortal fear of your daughter she posed no threat to the community, was not a flight risk & was represented by counsel who was willing to surrender her just as soon as she was medically cleared. No doubt realizing the extent of the risk the Detective agreed to back down & wait until the baby was born & both mom and child were medically cleared, at which time I agreed to personally surrender her at the station. I will add that you got her OBGYN on the phone with us & he was kind enough to author a letter advising of the medical concerns (e.g. bed rest until delivery) which I attached to my confirmatory email to the Detective. It took 3 weeks but your granddaughter entered the world, your daughter received a clean bill of health & so we began the surrender process. I arranged for a bondsman, worked the clock to minimize the time spent in custody (noting that no one "controls" Corrections) & within about 12 hours time your daughter was in Bond Court (DV cases require a mandatory appearance before bond can be posted). At that Hearing the ASA wanted bond to include total lockdown with a GPS monitor (which, given the circumstances, frankly was not an unreasonable ask) but it's not quite that simple to effect & the process to do so would likely have required several days in custody, time which was not available given nursing issues. In the end we convinced the Judge to overrule the State & grant a monetary bond. With skill & experience we did all that we could possibly do to smooth this process & now the real work begins (exposing this case for the BS story that it is). After we exonerate your daughter we'll deal with the Detective. Again, TYVM! MAH/Esq. #HaberPA

"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."

"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."
