Return of 36 firearms after police raided home
The police came to my house, arrested me and they confiscated all 36 of my guns. The case was such complete BS that even with a Public Defender it got dropped, but the police wouldn't return my firearms. I found Mike Haber on Google after I watched his video on getting guns back from the police and...
Dear Anonymous, No one can accuse you of not knowing what time it is (or of not being prepared for a zombie apocalypse). That observed, I want to make a few comments about your situation and incredibly well-written and succinct review, but before I do I want to thank you most sincerely for having taken the time to author and publish #HaberPA's 214th Client Review on AVVO. First, little makes me happier than knowing that you located and hired me by way of a #HaberPA VideoFAQ (in this case # 281) How can I get my Gun back from the Police? - https://youtu.be/sRP_PLegJCo ). "MichaelHaberLaw" (#HaberPA's VideoFAQ / YouTube Channel - which can be accessed at the following link, presently has 375 short, creative and informative Criminal Defense, Criminal Law & Criminal Procedure, DUI, BUI, Domestic Violence, Crime Victim's Rights, Evidence and Seal & Expunge Webisodes with more than 600,000 views, just shy of 2,000 subscribers and to which I hope that anyone and everyone will subscribe - www.youtube.com/c/michaelhaberlaw ). Second, while I am grateful for your props as to my work ethic and work product I want to give a shout out to my PD colleagues who, despite being underpaid, underappreciated and over worked, are almost universally excellent lawyers, dedicated to their careers and clients even if they oftentimes drown under the weight of their caseloads. Finally, I want to highlight your comment that "he didn't judge me and he didn't BS me", as those are two things in which I also take great pride. It is not my job to judge my clients; however, depending upon the case it is my job to assess credibility, be it of persons or items evidence, and then to give my client honest advise based upon my experience. That said, given the nature of your case (a post-disposition return of property which had neither an evidentiary nor a forfeiture hold, to a person who has not been legally "disqualified" by any criteria) there was no basis for me to assess anything; rather, in this instance my job was to gather the necessary facts and documents so as to be able to prepare a legally sufficient motion, electronically file it, serve it on all relevant parties, calendar it for hearing (with sufficient time for all other parties to respond and appear) and then litigate the heck out of it... which we did, successfully. That said, my gratitude for your Client Review knows no bounds. Be safe, be good and let's hope that this was your first and last foray with the criminal justice system. Earnestly, MAH/Esq.

Returning Property (firearm) from POLICE
I used to work with another lawyer who promised me to return my firearm without any problems from HOMESTEAD POLICE DEPARTMENT and since that past almost one year and nothing. I was very sad. I start surfing YouTube trying find any help and BIG THANK YOU to the Michael Adam Haber PA, he having the ...
Dear Hernando, Thank you so very much for your kind words and for authoring #HaberPA's 210th Client Review on AVVO. The number of people who come to me with 100% legitimate complaints about their lawyers never ceases to amaze me, and while I'd prefer to be the guy who gets the job done right in the first instance I'm also always happy to come in and clean up some other sub-standard lawyer's mess. I am also particularly grateful to you for explaining to the folks how you met me (to wit: by watching one of #HaberPA's VideoFAQs on our YouTube channel "MichaelHaberLaw" - in this instance # 281 - How can I get my Gun back from the Police? @ https://youtu.be/sRP_PLegJCo ). #HaberPA's VideoFAQ started as an experiment but has evolved into a significant source of information and business, with all of our 375 short, creative and informative Criminal Defense, Criminal Law & Criminal Procedure, DUI, BUI, Domestic Violence, Crime Victim's Rights, Evidence and Seal & Expunge Webisodes being available through my AVVO attorney profile (of course I welcome anyone to view them via AVVO's platform but I will be especially grateful for a subscription to: www.youtube.com/c/michaelhaberlaw ). That said, it took 2 weeks from the day that you and I first spoke for me to secure (in hand) a certified Court Order requiring the HPD to return your firearm to you, but I also secured and provided you with the protocol from HPD (including HPD's "Firearm's Claim Form", without which you could not regain possession of your gun) and connected you with the Record's Custodian who was CC'd with all documents (the Motion, the Notice of Hearing and the Court Order) in real time. It matters not whether I am tasked with a filing a procedural motion such as yours or a jury trial or anything in between, as no matter what the objective #HaberPA will always pay attention to the client and the client's needs, field your questions, ease your concerns and otherwise keep you in the loop until such time as we have provided the precise service for which we were retained. It is only by serving our clients in this boutique fashion that we can hope to earn your positive client review at the conclusion of your case. I am thrilled that you are happy and that "My experience with Haber PA are fantastic" and more I could not possibly ask. Take care, be safe and well and welcome to the #HaberPA family. Gratefully, MAH/Esq.

First DUI
I was referred to Mr. Haber from a great friend/Police officer and was told he’s the best for my DUI case so i called and set an appointment. We meet for breakfast and at first the way he came across was rough but then i realized as an attorney you have to a certain demeanor. First DUI and Michael wa...
Dear Jamal, I want to thank you very much for taking the time to author and submit #HaberPA's 198th Client Review on AVVO, and I want to take a moment to touch on a few of your observations. First, over the course of my nearly 30 years as a criminal defense lawyer I have both come to respect and have earned the respect of many police officers. When a member of the law enforcement community thinks enough of my ability to refer her / his loved ones to me I consider that to be the highest of honors. Second (both unfortunately and respectfully), from a defense perspective your case was a dog with fleas. Not only knowing the officer who referred you to me but also being quite familiar with your arresting officer (noting that they work for different police agencies), once I read the initial police report I was pretty certain that we had a difficult case on our hands, I was even more convinced of this after you and I met and were able to discuss it in more detail and after receiving and reviewing the State's evidence I was all but positive that we were going down like the Titanic . As you suggested (albeit in different words) I don't believe in blowing sunshine up a client's pant leg, so right from the get go I told you precisely what I thought, but we also agreed to take the time to examine the totality of the facts and circumstances (not just what we had in the moment), and once confirmed we acted quickly to make lemonade from lemons so as to secure the best possible result for you given the situation. That said and done, you are now well on your way to earning a dismissal of the DUI charge and I have complete confidence that you will do so and will come out of this better for it. Third, the gun... When you were taken into custody for DUI your vehicle was - as most all are - towed from the scene and to a lot. You had your gun in the car at the time and the police, properly, secured the firearm and issued you a property receipt for the firearm. You were not charged with any firearm offense, the gun had nothing to do with the case, there was no legal impediment to your getting the gun back (i.e. you were not disqualified from owning, possessing or carrying a firearm as a result of your DUI arrest and you have a valid CWP) and all we needed was a Court Order so that the PD could release the weapon to you, but the Judge threw a monkey wrench into the machinery, refusing to issue the Order. It took 3 appearances and a lot of arguing before I secured that Court Order, but we finally got it and you were ultimately able to collect your property. Finally, so as to accommodate your schedule our first meeting occurred on a weekday morning and at a local deli, and I could not have been more pleased. I'm always happy to meet as conveniently as is possible to the client, especially if a good meal is involved. My only regret is that I couldn't find a factual, legal, procedural or substantive mechanism by which to beat your case, but as the adage goes, "you've gotta play the hand you're dealt". Thank you again Jamal. I'll be monitoring your situation and will be thrilled when you complete your program and the dismissal is entered into the record. 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. 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."
