Whether in State or Federal Courts, Michael A. Haber, P.A. strives to ensure that his client's rights are respected and that his clients receive top-tier legal representation and counsel.
For 3+ decades I have striven to make #HaberPA / Michael A. Haber, P.A. a business that custom tailors its services to meet the needs of the client. 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.
Accordingly, #HaberPA / Michael A. Haber, P.A. has provided personalized and boutique legal services to both individuals and entities, primarily in the South Florida area, since 1991. 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.
When you hire #HaberPA / Michael A. Haber, P.A. you get Michael A. Haber, Esq.!

Arguably the best criminal law attorney in Miami
I was charged with two felonies of grand theft and uttering a forged instrument in Dade County and interviewed several attorneys to take my case. Despite the unbelievable levels of stress and paranoia that the prospect of encarceration can bring, I was determined to carefully evaluate every attorney ...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for the awesome and detailed review. I have found that there are 2 types of criminal defense lawyers: There are those who blindly quote fees and then there are lawyers like myself, who take the time to fully (as fully as possible anyhow) A) understand the facts and circumstances of the case - both as alleged by the government and by the client, B) envision the various paths that are available to the client, C) come to understand the client's personal needs and position, D) educate the client so that a realistic objective - in light of both the government's case and the client's situation - can be targeted, E) formulate a plan to achieve the litigation objective and F) only then quote a legal fee which has been fairly tailored to the work to be performed in light of the client's chosen path. In 25+ years of criminal defense practice I have found that the key to a successful attorney-client relationship (actually I suppose that it is key to all meaningful relationships) is open and honest communication, and, as such, discourse is necessarily a 2-way street. So, not only do I keep my client fully informed, but I also listen to what my client has to say (for A) I do not presume to know everything, B) I recognize that the client looks at things through a different prism than I and C) no one is more vested in the outcome of the case than the client). I go into every case telling potential clients (just as I did with you) that the reviews they read online were all - each and every one - earned, that my end game is to earn their review at the conclusion of their case and that the decision-maker - the Judge of my legal services - is the client (meaning, if I do not deliver "as advertised" then you won't deliver a heartfelt and positive client review). So, in your case, it seems that the mission was accomplished. I am elated that you were happy enough with my services to merit such a rave review. So just as you thank me so too do I thank you, and I wish you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous 2017. Fondly, MAH/Esq

Michael Haber is the Most Brilliant Criminal Defense Attorney in Miami
Michael Haber is the LAST PERSON THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD EVER HAVE TO HIRE... A "CRIMINAL" DEFENSE ATTORNEY for such a nice Jewish girl??!!! But, truth be told.... This little English teacher found herself arrested for petty theft in September of this year!!! YES, that's right... Even English teache...
Thank you Jodi, for a most impassioned, and unexpected, review. I was happy to take the time to speak with you, to explain, in detail, both your situation and the various options and then, once you decided to enter (and to successfully complete) a diversion program, to recommend - strictly based upon geography and cost efficiency - that my partner be the one to assist you in navigating your successful registration. I wholeheartedly agree that you "did the right thing by following [my] advice", but what happens henceforth is entirely upon you, so I encourage you to remember, and to abide by, the 2 golden rules: 1) Do what you are supposed to do, when and how it is supposed to be done; and 2) Do not do anything that you are not supposed to do. If you abide by those maxims then, come March you will be home free (meaning that your case will be dismissed, we can begin the expungement process and your State issued license will not be jeopardized; conversely...). As for me being "unique and ONE in a MILLION.... I trust you with my LIFE and so should others! I wish you all the BEST", please insert "blushing emoji" here. :-) Seriously, thank you. I take great pride in A) making each client feel "special" (because they all deserve "special" treatment) and B) in offering all the time and attention that is required to fully inform the client as to all aspects of her/his legal situation, both initially and all throughout the course of the case. One person's $40 petit theft is another person's homicide. Any arrest / allegation of criminality is treated "heart attack serious" in my office. Fortunately, in your case, I believe that you will make a complete recovery. :-) Thank you again. Please enjoy a happy and a healthy New Year and, if you follow Rules #1 and 2 then by June or July this matter will be expunged.

A friend and a very trusted lawyer
I have known Mike Haber for about 10 years, but prior to 2016 I only knew him socially. Our kids played together in the neighborhood park and we would sit and chat about things regularly. It had been several years since we had seen one another but, regretfully, I recently found myself on the wrong ...
Craig, thank you (and you're welcome). Sincerely. Your review was so perfectly written (even citing my tag-line about being a "boutique" law firm) that I am almost (almost) at a loss for words. There is nothing more flattering than a rave client review, except perhaps for one that is authored by a "friend turned client". I told you that which I always tell my clients (and my friends and my 11 y/o son - just as my father ingrained into me) that if you can do 2 things then you will be just fine: 1) Do what you are supposed to do, how and when you are supposed to do it; and 2) Don't do anything that you are not supposed to do. And you did. And you also did not. And so we would not be where we are now had you failed to steadfastly listen to and heed that advise (most especially when you did so over your inclinations to act contrarily). I am absolutely elated for you and for your family, I wish you all the best and I am most grateful for your client review. Fondly, MAH/Esq

DUI Case
Life changes literally in seconds. Here I was on my way home from a business dinner one early evening when I came across a DUI check point. My lane was randomly picked. I was asked where did I come from and if I had drank any alcohol. I replied, a business dinner and I had a glass of wine. Well, t...
Thank you very much for your positive review. Not that I do not laud my experience and knowledge, but I do take particular pride in being a lawyer who "will always get back to you as quickly as possible to answer your questions and/or concerns" and who will "return your phone calls timely, respond to a text and or e-mail". Communication (honest communication) is one of the keys to any successful relationship, and attorney-client is no different than any other. So no, I will not "not sugar coat your situation" (or, as I like to say, "I won't blow sunshine up your skirt / pant leg")... What I will do is take a comprehensive look at the facts and the circumstances of the case, then apply my experience and the law to lay out the options as I see them, help you to choose a reasonable litigation objective and then make every reasonable effort at securing a dismissal, suppression of evidence or an acquittal by any possible factual, legal, procedural or substantive means or mechanism. Thank you again for your kind review and for your heartfelt recommendation of my services,

An Amazing Lawyer
Michael Haber did a great job for me. I had never been arrested before until a recent DUI. I was pulled over and did not blow. He was very helpful and suggested the Advocate Program (which was a great option for me due to the fact that in my line of work I do need to drive to appointments). Michae...
Thank you very much for the props and for your recommendation Jorge. In all honesty your case was much more difficult for you than it was for me. After evaluating and fully vetting all of the evidence in your case (police reports, dash cam video, DUI paperwork, arresting officer's personnel file, etc.) I merely laid out the options; at that point it was you who had a tough choice to make (one with clear equities on both sides). On the one hand you had the option of completing DUI-diversion (jumping through a series of hoops designed to allow you to earn and guarantee a dismissal of your DUI) and on the other hand you had a very good trial case from a defense perspective (no breath, reasonable performance on FST's and all based upon a routine speeding stop). The choice was one of pride, willingness to run risk (a permanent criminal conviction and jail time) and cost (financial, emotional and physical), and it all boiled down to whether or not you were willing to gamble your liberty and record. I know that the choice to enter into diversion was a tough call for you (and it was entirely your call), but now, in the end, you are on the road to having your arrest record sealed, your DUI was dismissed and you are 100% free. ¡Felicitaciones!
"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."
