Mr Haber a true Gentle man an honest professional

My family and I were clients of Mr. Haber. Mr Haber helped my family with a case that my whole family was nervous about. Mr Haber came to our house gave as excellent information, confidence and support, with his professionalism we felt that we were in good hands as the case went in progress he kept u...s informed and also like i mention before he gave us confidence and the support we need it at this time. Mr Haber professionalism and experience made this case go away. I cant thank Mr Haber and Mark enough for all the help and support they gave us through this tough times. Thank you again for your hard work, dedication, professionalism and honesty.

Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for authoring and publishing #HaberPA's 193rd Client Review on AVVO. You chose not to disclose anything about the nature and circumstances of the case, I absolutely respect your decision to have done so and as such I will restrict my reply to your observations about the "boutique" nature of #HaberPA's professional services (which is something that I take great personal pride in providing). Rather than requiring you (or other prospective clients) to coordinate your family to get together, battle South Florida traffic, trek to an office building, suffer parking hassles and incur all of the dreadful side-effects of securing a comprehensive and meaningful legal consultation, like an old-world doctor I am happy to make a house-call (i.e. to come to you, at you convenience) and engage in an extensive and thorough discussion the facts and circumstances of the case in an environment which is as comfortable and convenient to you as is possible. Once we have both completed our discussion (no matter how long it may take to do so) and reached a litigation objective (i.e. a foreseeable and reasonably achievable goal in the case) I will ooze confidence, maintain unwavering support, tenaciously work toward realizing our end game and continuously provide updates and information in real time (or, as you so aptly said I will engage in "hard work, dedication, professionalism and honesty"). During our first discussions I always advise prospective clients that "my goals in your case are three-fold: 1) To perform precisely as I have promised, 2) to always be available to you and 3) to earn (by way of #'s 1 and 2) your positive client review at the successful conclusion of your case", so when a client takes the time and expends the effort to post a client review (as you have done) I can take great pride (as I do now). I thank you again and wish your family a happy, healthy and prosperous holiday season. Gratefully, MAH/Esq.

Amazing excellent kind

First I would like to thank Michael Adam Harber I just finished loosing my grandpa and was really sad. I was on my way to my cousins house when I was stopped by the police. Well I was wrongly arrested and immediately called my mother and she got in contact with Mr Harber per a recommendation by a fr...iend. He has been attentive to my case and immediately took action he was able to have my criminal case dropped. Through out my ordeal he would email me text me of everything that that was happening giving me step bu step of what was needed. I am truly grateful to have such a great, experience lawyer by my side.

Dear Anonymous, Thank you so much for taking the time share your experience with #HaberPA with the folks (in the form of our 192nd AVVO Client Review). There is never a "good" or convenient time to be arrested, but in your case the timing was absolutely tragic (e.g. in fresh familial grief and right before the holiday season where that pain is especially strong). Moreover the circumstances were preposterous. While your arrest was technically lawful the situation was both capable of simple explanation and of resolution without arrest (or at least it could have been so had you been stopped by a veteran municipal cop instead of a State Trooper with an inferiority complex). Regardless, there's an old law enforcement adage that says "you might beat the rap but you won't beat the ride", and that age old aphorism proved true in your case. You hired #HaberPA within a few days of your arrest, we promptly stitched together an irrefutable packet of materials for the filing prosecutor's consideration and took the unambiguous facts to the State Attorney after which the criminal charges (a felony and a misdemeanor) were "no actioned" (dismissed) at your Arraignment a mere 3 weeks after your arrest. We still have to deal with the 3 traffic citations that the nasty Statie tacked on and gave to you, but, compared to the criminal charges (and in light of their dismissal) these are proverbial hiccups (and you can rest assured that I'm looking forward to that cross-examination). That said I'm always proud to receive kudos for my attentiveness in receiving, reviewing and expeditiously replying to phone calls, texts and emails (that being one of the hallmarks of #HaberPA's "boutique" status) and for swiftly accomplishing the Client's litigation objective (even where doing so this rapidly ends up costing me legal fees because I beat the case before I got a chance to beat up on the case :-); and once again I am grateful for your kind time in authoring and submitting your review. I am deeply sorry for your loss and I wish you and your family peace, happiness, joy and prosperity during the holiday season and for the new year. Fondly, MAH/Esq

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...rderline personality disorder, I decided to end things. She had a few things at my home and I agreed to have her wait outside while I brought them out, as she wasn’t allowed inside. Everything was going ok until I made the mistake of allowing her into my home to “use the bathroom”. Long story short she refused to leave and ended up getting violent, destructive and attacking me inside my home despite me asking her to leave. I called 911 for some assistance in getting this deranged and emotionally unstable woman out of my house and a female officer showed up and arrested ME. Yes, arrested ME, after being attacked in my OWN home… Can you imagine?! Worst, I even got an ankle bracelet slapped on me (with no prior criminal record) because my ex showed up to court the next morning and claimed that she was “scared for her life”. I previously hired two, yes two defense attorneys for this same matter but after giving both a fair shot and seeing them in action in front of this particular judge neither of them made me feel confident in their ability to protect my innocence. In fact, I was even more worried ... I was dealing with a vindictive woman who was determined to ruin my life and that was the consequence of leaving her. I had a lot to lose and I wasn’t about to let her do that. Thank GOD I found Mike Haber. From the very first conversation with him, I knew I had finally found the RIGHT attorney. He looked up my arrest report and thoroughly explained every possible outcome and even told me which defense strategy we would use... Funny enough, neither of those previous attorneys mentioned it... “Stand your ground”. He said Mike “After reading your arrest report I’m extremely confident that we’re going to get this dismissed based on SYG”. I felt informed, comfortable, more relaxed and a lot more confident that I would be able to put this behind me. On the day of the SYG hearing, Mike & Marc truly went to bat for me and as they examined my ex, I could literally see the Judge realizing that they (the state) had gotten this all wrong right before my very eyes... You know the kind of performance you see those really good attorneys make in a movie? They are THOSE guys. In my case, the Judge effectively told the state that their cops got it wrong when they arrested me, got it wrong when they charged me and therefore the biggest wrong in this situation was done to ME when I was wrongfully arrested and charged – CASE DISMISSED. I HIGHLY recommend Mike Haber.. if you want your record to stay clean, do your life a favor and HIRE HIM.

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... approachable, and it gave me hope since Mike knew exactly what to do and got straight to the point of how to reach the finish line. After giving him all the details on my cases, he sat me down for a free consultation which took almost 4 hours out of his Saturday evening and told me what I was to do and what was going to happen, almost like it was story time. Not only was that great news, the icing of the cake was the fair pricing. Hearing him represent me was like watching Rambo decimate his enemies, with every bullet wisely used, and no survivors left besides him being the conquering victor. After following his strict instructions and advice, Michael was able to pull off a consolidation of two UNRELATED cases so both cases would be dismissed simultaneously and work on expunging them. There were no conditions attached to the dismissals. I needed someone to pinch me because it went from nightmare to a literal dream come true, “once upon a time” fairy tale to actual reality. He didn’t fight just two cases, but he even took up my case which was involved with my academic life. Michael explained he never represented a client for academic problems, but he broke that ice, checked it off his “bucket list” and made it his playground. I was given a seat back and was able to continue my academic life after fulfilling a few terms which were livable. When I say this attorney is the Batman of Lawyers, I am not exaggerating. What amazed me, was not that he represented me in court and academically, but he went over and beyond. He met with relevant personnel on his own time to fix my terms of consequences and was very easy to communicate. If you text or email Michael, it is rare for him to answer the next day, his response sometimes is almost immediate. He was even open to speaking to my immediate family members (under my permission of course) and kept them in the loop as I desired. Mr. Haber did not rub my back and say, “everything is going to be okay”. He never sugarcoats, never sells false dreams nor make fake promises. He lays down facts, gets straight to the point, stays to his word and executes. He is a judicial monster and really knows his way around the law, inside and out. This was my first time being in trouble with the law, and I was very scared of the outcomes. But Attorney, Michael Haber gave me hope and returned a clean record to my slate with two simultaneous DISMISSALS. I am so happy I have my life back together thanks to this attorney and I will always be grateful for what he has done for me and my family. This is a lawyer I would rate 10/10 and highly recommended on my part. Thanks again for your help Michael, all the best.

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

Honest, Knowledge and Experienced.

On the search for a lawyer after a wrongdoing, I found great reviews for Michael Haber and decided to give him a call. He answered immediately and provided me with a clever plan of action to go about my case. I did not feel that I had to keep looking for a lawyer as he was astute and confident i...n his ability to resolve my situation. Six months later after, I finished my diversion program and on route to a clean record once again, just as he promised. This is something that could have impacted my life dramatically had I not hired Mike. He was attentive to all my texts, calls concerns. He was everything I was looking for in a lawyer. It is no mystery why he has so many positive reviews. If you are looking for a criminal defense lawyer, look no further! Thank you Mike.

Dear JP, You are most welcome and thank you for authoring #HaberPA's 186th AVVO Client Review. Normally I don't take any pride in securing diversion for a client. Why? Because the sad truth ("sad" for my industry - the criminal defense business - not sad at all for those clients who want diversion) is that in a growing number circumstances prosecutors are offering diversion to more and more people right out of the gate. On my end there is usually no "skill" involved (the client either qualifies or does not) and there is no "talent" required to secure diversion (in fact the State sometimes "extends" the offer directly to the client by snail-mail in advance of Arraignment and before court). That said there are other times where skill and talent are required (as proved to be the case in your situation) and when that happens then I can pat myself on the back for securing diversion in a case where my client should not have been offered the opportunity to earn a dismissal by jumping through a few proverbial hoops. While both your past criminal history disqualified you from entry into diversion and your present charge was a non-eligible offense, thanks to absolutely p*ss poor policing (and our ability to prove it beyond any doubt) we managed to beat the State down so badly that they effectively made you an offer that you simply could not refuse. After that, and over the course of 6 months, you did everything that you were supposed to do, nothing that you were not supposed to do and accordingly you earned your dismissal. So congratulations on beating the odds (not to fail to mention the case) and thank you for sharing your experience with #HaberPA with the folks. Take care my friend. Gratefully, 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.

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
