A Very Good Attorney!

I have had the privilege of having Michael Haber as my attorney in a civil case brought against me. Although Mr. Haber primarily practices criminal defense law, he was kind enough to represent me. Mr. Haber is very organized and kept me up to date with everything going on. He is extremely knowledge...able and made sure I always understood what was going on. He told me the truth about where I stood and what direction we should go. His primary focus was to bring me the best outcome for me without having a public record. Mr. Haber is also amazing inside of a courtroom. When he talks, everyone in the courtroom listens, including the judge. These are the exact words from the judge to the petitioner of my case, “ Mr. Haber is very well respected and well known in this community”. Mr. Haber’s hard work, dedication to my case got the job done. Civil litigation brought against me was dismissed and I can’t thank him enough. So, If you are looking for a criminal defense, civil or any other areas that Mr. Haber represents clients, hire him and don’t look back.

Dear Ray, Thank you so very much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with #HaberPA. As I'm confident that you can't be identified I am comfortable sharing a little bit about the nature of your case with the folks. You, a condominium unit owner, were served with a temporary restraining order by the unit owner who lives directly above you in your building. Over the course of 2+ years you had made repeated noise complaints against him with the condo association, the management company and even the local police department, none of which were able to effect the non-stop late night disturbances. The injunction came in response to your having confronted the unit owner directly, after which he went to the Courts seeking protection. While #HaberPA normally does not get involved in civil disputes I agreed to serve as your advocate in this instance, and yes, we were successful. Regardless of the nature of the case or the client when #HaberPA accepts the responsibility of representation the following language is included in each and every one of our retainer agreements: "I want to thank you once again for your confidence in my ability to assist you during this difficult time. I want to remind you that if you A) do what you are supposed to do when and how you are supposed to do it, and B) if you do not do things that you are not permitted to do during this interim period, then you will be just fine and, soon enough, this will be a distant memory. I also want to reassure you 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." And so it has come to pass that you heeded our advise, I lived up to my expectation and, accordingly, "I have earned "your positive client review". Thank you again for trusting #HaberPA to live up to our obligation and also for honoring your word when we performed as expected. I am grateful to you, wish you all the best and it was my privilege to have been able to serve as your legal counsel in your case. Fondly, MAH/Esq.

Dear Olga, Thank you very much for your kind words (in the form of #HaberPA's 195th Client Review on AVVO). I won't expound on the facts of your case but so that the folks have some context I need to give them some background. Your case, like most criminal cases, was tough, but your particular circumstances made it significantly more difficult than many others. The cops made a lot of very serious allegations against you when you were arrested for DUI, DWLS-Knowingly, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Paraphernalia, Resisting Arrest without Violence and Disorderly Intoxication. None of this was digitally preserved on dash or body cam and so there was no independent way to either prove or deny their claims, but the cops made sure to back up their charges by bringing in numbers instead - 6 police officers - all of whom doubled-down on the other's testimony. Making matters worse for you was your prior criminal history which included another DUI (this was your 2nd, albeit outside of 5 years so there was no mandatory jail time), 2 prior convictions for separate Possession of Marijuana charges (as well as a 3 separate withhold's for the same offense) and prior convictions for both Resisting Arrest and Disorderly Intox (also with other withhold's for the same offenses). Perhaps needless to say this combination of variables made defending you exponentially more difficult. Still, when there's a will there's a way and with experience comes knowledge, and in your case I employed all of my wisdom and my relentless will to beat the State down and at least afford us some positive bargaining power. But I can't take all the credit and happily give you a positive assist for flawlessly following my instructions by securing your Medicinal Marijuana Card and valid THC Rx, providing me with and authorizing me to use all the materials that I requested and for, during the several months that it took to erode the State's determination to slam you, not deviating at all from our plan. Without your cooperation and determination my efforts surely would have fallen flat and we would likely have fared significantly worse. In the end there was no beating the DUI but the State ultimately agreed to dismiss all 5 of the other misdemeanor charges and so you received nothing more than the rock bottom "2nd outside of 5" DUI penalties. I truly wish that I could have beaten all 6 of your charges, and I'm gonna go on the record and say that I abhor having to eat any charges but, to paraphrase Meatloaf's "2 outta 3 'aint bad", in your case beating 5 outta 6 'aint bad. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with #HaberPA with the folks, I am grateful for the props and I wish you and yours all the best of happiness, health, luck, prosperity and success for the New Year 2020 and thereafter. Fondly, 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

Dear Anonymous, As you've chosen not to share any of the substance of your situation with the folks I will honor your decision and not get into the meat and potatoes; rather, I will simply thank you for submitting your brief but quite to-the-point Client Review (this being #HaberPA's 191st on AVVO). Since 1991 #HaberPA has relentlessly provided creative, effective & zealous Criminal Defense, DUI, BUI, Domestic Violence, Crime Victim Rights & Seal & Expunge advocacy to the folks and our mission statement is to: A) provide honest & realistic litigation objectives; B) to quote and honor fair fees; C) to always be available & responsive; D) to keep you fully informed though out the course of the case; and by doing so E) to earn your positive client review at the conclusion of your case.

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.

"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 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."

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 .
