This incorporates such things as (but is not limited to) doing my best to meet clients at their convenience (as opposed to mine), in locations and at times which are mutually convenient (sometimes at their homes, places of business, independent ground - having free wifi and excellent coffee any Dunkin Donuts always works for me - and occasionally even at odd hours), structuring fees to reasonably accommodate the client, making myself personally available to the client as close to 24/7 as is possible and, perhaps most importantly, giving careful and comprehensive consideration to both micro and macro issues in a given case so as to be able to agree upon and effort toward a viable litigation objective. This is why I refer to #HaberPA / Michael A. Haber, P.A. proudly providing "boutique" criminal defense litigation services ("boutique" meaning "a small company that offers highly specialized services"), and this is a large part of #HaberPA's / Michael A. Haber, P.A.'s mission statement.

With no history of professional discipline whatsoever, Michael A. Haber, Esq. zealously advocates his client's interests and custom tailors his services to meet each client's particular situation, needs and desires.
Toward that end Michael A. Haber, Esq. makes himself directly available to his clients whether in person, over the phone or Toll Free, by cell, verbally or text), by e-mail, on Facebook, on Twittter, on AOL/IM, and also why I consistently add information to the public on both HaberPA's Criminal and DUI Defense Litigation Blog, and more importantly with #HaberPA's "Webisode" series on YouTube ("MichaelHaberLaw"), whcih currently features 401 short, educational, entertaining and informative VideoFAQ's on a variety of Criminal Defense, DUI, BUI, Domestic Violence, Victim's Rights Advocacy and Seal and Expunge related topics.

the acrimonious ex gilfriend
First of all, I want to cut straight to the point and say that Mike Haber and his partner Marc Morris are absolutely and undoubtedly the BEST defense attorneys you can possibly have in your corner. After having had enough of a toxic and roller coaster ride of a relationship with a woman who had bo...
Dear Mike, Thank you for authoring #HaberPA's 189th Client Review on AVVO, and even more so for the specificity and heartfelt praise. After I reviewed your arrest report and then discussed your perspective of the case with you I told you 3 things: 1) That you, and not your ex, were the victim in this case, 2) that unlike your prior counsel I would deliver results and 3) that after you were awarded statutory immunity for "standing your ground" (or, alternatively, were the Court to deny our motion, then after a jury's acquittal on the same grounds) I would have earned your positive client review... and now, less than 3 months later, here we are. There was no doubt in my mind that the Miami Gardens Police Officer who railroaded you had absolutely no training or experience in "SYG" and, worse still, that she didn't even have either the common decency or sense to call in another, more skilled officer to review the case and make the right call. My only regret in your case is that I didn't have an opportunity to rip her a new one on cross-examination. On the other hand, it's a moot point as after an evidentiary hearing where you and your ex testified the Judge schooled the State on the law by way of a written Order granting our motion, immunizing you and dismissing a case which should not have been filed in the first place. Cops are usually not lawyers and so I don't expect much from them (and most especially from the Miami Gardens PD), but prosecutors are lawyers, they know (or should know) better, it's shameful that the Miami-Dade SAO rubber-stamped an unlawful arrest, and it's even worse that they doubled-down by fighting our well-taken Motion for Statutory Immunity. On another note I find it incredible that "neither of those previous attorneys mentioned it... “Stand your ground”" as yours could have been the poster child for SGY cases. Not only did I identify this out of the gate but in tandem with our discussion I directed you to #HaberPA's VideoFAQs # 214 - 221 all of which deal with various aspects of SYG in FL and all of which were 100% applicable to your situation. (For anyone who is interested please go to - www.youtube.com/c/michaelhaberlaw - look at any of our 337 "Webisodes" and please consider subscribing [shameless plug warning] as we have great and ever-expanding content and we need the numbers!) Anyhow, I am not ethically permitted to guarantee a specific result in a given case but I also did not need to be Nostradamus to predict this outcome. I am elated that you are a satisfied client, I am grateful for your kind time and selfless passion in composing #HaberPA's 189th Client Review on AVVO and I wish you all the best in luck and success moving forward. Appreciatively, MAH/Esq.

Best Lawyer Money Can Buy
I was faced with two cases; a misdemeanor and a felony about two weeks apart. After being stuck and not sure of what the next step was after facing these issues, a mutual friend introduced us to Mr. Haber to fix my problems. At first, I was intimidated by his strong speech, but he was very...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you so much for your stellar and comprehensive Client Review (#HaberPA's 187th on AVVO). This is one that I am particularly proud of having earned as it was complicated, interesting and triumphantly scored. For the benefit of the folks here are a few observations: 1) I met you and your family on a Saturday afternoon and into the evening not only as a courtesy to our mutual friend but also because that is what I do (this is one of many reasons that #HaberPA is known as a "boutique" law firm); 2) I took a global view of your situation (no priors, 2 drug related arrests within 2 weeks - the 2nd being way more serious than the 1st - plus a disciplinary suspension and possible expulsion from college based upon the 2nd arrest) and stitched together a long term plan to resolve everything; 3) you trusted my advise, doing what you were tasked to do, with neither error nor fail, and you did not do anything that you were not supposed to do, thus enabling me to do my job; 4) you were patient with me as I dissected the administrative disciplinary process and painstakingly stitched together that which we were already and anyhow accomplishing for court purposes into it's academic counterpart; and 5) you not only heeded my advise but you trusted in my ability to deliver, and in the end we - "we" - pulled off a minor miracle (I could not have done this without you and your family). With a little help / pressure from a fantastic Judge, and after several months of a provable track record upon which we could rely, the State Attorney agreed to consolidate 2 completely separate and distinct cases - and more importantly to allow for a nontraditional resolution to the newly consolidated case - and the icing was that your college's disciplinary panel hopped on board, agreeing to honor all that we had done forensically, to apply it academically and ultimately to reinstate you as a student. All that is left now is for us to convince FDLE to authorize the expungement of 2 different cases, initiated by 2 different police agencies, which have 2 different police case numbers and which generated 2 different corresponding court case numbers (even though they were later consolidated into one). Just as I was when we first met, I remain equally confident that we will accomplish this goal. Again, I cannot thank you enough for your kind and heartfelt words. You brought a smile to my face. Gratefully --> MAH/Esq

Michael Haber, an attorney you can trust
Just 8 month ago this would of been way too embarrassing for me to admit but looking back I have to be completely honest about what happened I was arrested on 4th DUI. My third DUI happened less than 5 years earlier and I was still enrolled in a DMV program trying to earn back my drivers lisence at t...
Dear Anonymous, Grammatical errors not withstanding your (#HaberPA's 178th AVVO) Client Review was outstanding. It is obvious that you gained incredible insight, understanding and an appreciation for your situation, and it is equally apparent (as well as most appreciated) that you've given me credit for both having steered you in the right direction and considered your legal and personal needs. As a lawyer I'm ethically bound to perform several functions (see Chapter 4 of the Rules regulating the Florida Bar, specifically Professional Conduct), namely serving as an "adviser, advocate, negotiator and evaluator", and this is what i did in your case. I took a global view, put together a plan and (at times struggled to have) kept you focused on the only objective of consequence, to wit: keeping you out of jail / prison. It wasn't just the facility that I chose for you (a dual diagnosis facility specifically structured to deal with both substance abuse and mental health issues) or even the private forensic psychologist whom we employed (and who's significance cannot be understated) or even my knowledge and negotiating skills, but, most importantly, it was your own provable, steadfast and unwaivering commitment to amenable and meaningful participation in all aspects of your treatment protocol (over an extended period of time) that carried the day... so props and kudos to you, because in the end it was you who kept yourself out of a cage. For the benefit of the folks who read this and have an interest in either repeat DUI cases or the strategic use of rehab in criminal cases generally, please take a look at #HaberPA's VideoFAQ / YouTube Channel (and please subscribe to www.youtube.com/c/michaelhaberlaw - we're at 904 subscribers and more than 383,000 views), specifically VideoFAQs # 259) Can I avoid Jail if I get another DUI? - https://youtu.be/0T_JxU5VdY4 # 260) How can I avoid Jail on a 2nd or 3rd DUI? - https://youtu.be/qJlT4CY49sg # 261) Can an In-Patient Rehab Program Help My Criminal Case? - https://youtu.be/ZBae3HQ76Xc # 262) When will an In-Patient Rehab Program help my case? - https://youtu.be/3ok_31N_CNU # 263) How do I choose the right In-Patient Rehab Program? - https://youtu.be/y-cZsK_RsCU and # 264) Will Attending AA/NA Meetings Help my Case? - https://youtu.be/ZR1THatvFiY - and for you, Anonymous, thank you so very much for taking the time to share your most personal experience with the folks and for your kind words about me / #HaberPA. Wishing you continued sobriety and all the best in luck and success. Fondly, MAH/Esq.

Dear Denise, Thank you so very much for your heartfelt words (a/k/a #HaberPA's 174th AVVO Client Review), for your leap of faith in hiring #HaberPA and permitting us to serve as your attorneys and for the privilege of having been able to earn your recommendation. I have used / use various taglines (including but not limited to "At #HaberPA it's all about reasonable doubt", "#HaberPA: From traffic to trafficking" and "#HaberPA... 24-7-365, 360°") but you may have inadvertently inspired my next tagline: "#HaberPA: Winning cases by critical analysis of every detail since 1991"... or something like that. :-) Again, please accept my gratitude and best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season. Warmest regards. MAH/Esq

Quick response and Helpful
I asked a question in regards to my loved ones case and Mr. Haber responded very quickly and unfortunately was not able to help as he informed that my issue required an appellate attorney. He went as far as to recommend me one. Awesome. Thank you Mr. Haber.
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so very much for taking the time to author your kind review. I have answered more than 25,000 questions on AVVO, accordingly I field an absolutely re-donk-u-lous amount of follow-up emails and phone calls, and while I hope (and maybe even kinda expect) client reviews from folks with whom I have built a solid attorney-client relationship over time, when they come from someone who simply asked a question on AVVO and merely followed up with an email or phone call, well in those cases I neither presume nor suppose to receive any public feedback... making yours (#HaberPA's 173rd Client Review) all that more prestigious and special to me. So thanks, danke, gracias and merci... I am much obliged. Wishing you and yours a happy and a healthy holiday season. 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."
