Michael Adam Haber

I was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery after a false accusation during an argument with my child’s mother. I had never been involved in the criminal system before, and I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. After bonding out of jail, mutual friends referred me to this attorney, and ...it was the best decision I could’ve made. From the beginning, he took the time to thoroughly review my police report and to understand not only what happened that day, but also the history of my relationship, my role as a father, and the motivations behind the accusation. He explained the entire court process clearly, charged me a very fair fee, gathered and reviewed all the evidence, and guided me step-by-step through every option so I could make the safest and smartest decision for my situation. Throughout the case, my ex—who lives abroad—created a lot of stress by sending conflicting messages to the prosecutor and to my family. Despite the rollercoaster, my attorney kept me informed in real time, answered every call, text, and email without delay, and made sure I did not have to appear in court until the very end. In the end, I had to make a tough but safe choice, and I felt fully supported the entire way. His professionalism, honesty, and constant communication made an extremely difficult process much more manageable. I highly recommend him to anyone facing a similar situation.

I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with attorney Michael Haber this evening about a civil demand letter I received from Macy's Department Store. Although this was not a call I was looking forward to having, Mr. Haber immediately put me at ease. Mr. Haber is incredibly intelligent, non-judgmental..., and straightforward. He lets you know every option, then gives you his opinion on your best course of action. I am truly happy I found him and would recommend him to anyone in need of an incredibly experienced attorney. In this day and age, it sure was nice to find someone like Mr. Haber. Thank you so much!

Mr. Haber is the best attorney I have dealt with in my life. I say that as this was my 4th DUI arrest, 3rd conviction (along with some other minor disorderly conducts) that have spanned over the past 20 years of my life. Mr. Haber received my call immediately and spent a good couple of hours talkin...g to my wife and I regarding my case the day after my arrest. He took the time to hear out my details and walk through several scenarios and potential outcomes, all of which led to a path of a felony charge and mandatory jail time. Mr. Haber did not “sugarcoat” anything, however, did provide comfort in assuring he would do his best to find the best possible outcome for my situation, which he did. It was either I go into a mandatory 30 day in-patient rehab, which I could not do at the time because of my job and financial responsibilities to my family. Mr. Haber provided alternative options and came up with immediate alternative game plans and we chose another path that consisted of an intensive out-patient rehab over the course of the next 90 days, and AA meetings. I followed Mr. Haber’s instructions in detail and immediately took action and admitted myself to a 90-day IOP recovery facility and followed Mr. Haber’s other instructions in detail. Mr. Haber also helped me identify the root cause of my problem and I also got my own therapist to help me identify that I did in fact have a drinking problem, and for that I will be forever grateful. In this darkest time where I thought I would lose it all, Mr. Haber stayed with me every step of the way, with guidance and subject matter legal level expertise that is of the highest quality. The way he broke down the legal system into layman terms was extremely comforting. Mr. Haber always accommodated time for follow up questions that my wife and I had and never rushed any session. My case has been closed, and although a guilty misdemeanor conviction (NOT a felony) was given by the court (however this was inevitable due to the overwhelming evidence against me), I did not spend one day in prison. Aside from some minor inconveniences associated with a conviction (i.e. penalties, license suspension, etc.), I still have my job, my family, and my life to look forward to. I thank God every day my irresponsible action did not kill someone or myself. I’m happy to report I’m 203 days sober since writing this, and I’m continuing my treatment without court mandate. So, to Mr. Haber, I wish I could do more, but the best I can say is THANK YOU.

The first attorney I hired barely looked at my case. He said nothing could be done, that I had to turn myself in and hope for the best. Had I listened, I might still be in jail. I was wrongfully accused of a serious felony, one that was typically non-bondable. I could have spent weeks in jail, una...ble to see my children, with my future on the line. That’s when I left a voicemail for Michael Haber—late at night, the evening before I had to surrender. I had no expectation of a response, but he called me back. Not just to acknowledge me, but to spend hours dissecting my case. My previous attorney had done nothing. ⸻ The Moment Everything Changed The morning I had to surrender, I sat in the police station parking lot, feeling like a ghost in my own life—watching from a distance, powerless to change what was happening. The reality I braced for—weeks in jail, my kids wondering where “Papi” went—felt inevitable. Then the call came. Michael’s voice was steady. Unflappable. The felony was wiped away. Reduced to two bondable misdemeanors. Not because he simply called the detective, like my previous attorney had done. He challenged everything, dissected it, and forced the truth to the surface. It was like a South Florida storm. One moment, the sky is blue. Then, in an instant, dark clouds roll in, the rain pours so hard you can’t see your own feet, and just as suddenly—it’s gone. Instead of a jail cell, I faced my children that weekend, holding their hands at the beach. ⸻ More Than A Lawyer—An Unwavering Champion Michael didn’t just reduce my charges. He dismantled the case entirely, forcing the prosecution to drop it. But he saw beyond that. He recognized a pattern—cases where a criminal charge and a family law battle intersected. Instead of advising me to hide from it, he recommended confronting it head-on. Most attorneys would have worried about self-incrimination. Michael took the opposite approach. He knew avoiding the case wouldn’t help my custody fight—it would only make it worse. This wasn’t just about me—this was about my children’s future. They were too close to losing me because of overzealous police work and lazy defense. If my first lawyer had his way, I would have been another statistic—another father trapped in a system that punishes first and asks questions later. Instead, Michael fought with precision, dismantling the accusations piece by piece. He had to navigate a complex family law case with international litigation—understanding that my case wasn’t just about clearing my name; it was about securing my children’s future. He worked with my family law attorneys, helping build the strategy that ultimately won me custody. And when it came time to fight back, Michael didn’t just defend me—he went on offense. He built a strong case that showed the prosecution why the charges didn’t hold. He laid out the facts, the evidence, and the flaws in the accusations in a way they couldn’t ignore—leaving them no choice but to drop the case. I believe Michael calls this a proffer. Whatever it’s labeled, it was effective. The Assistant State Attorney dismissed one charge immediately—after weeks of legal sparring, the second charge was dismissed as well. Michael knew the system, but more importantly, he knew how to fight it. ⸻ The Difference Between Losing It All and Winning Everything A legal battle is an excruciatingly lonely place. Your future, your children, your freedom—held hostage by a system that doesn’t care. I don’t have the words to describe what it feels like to have Michael Haber in your corner—preparing, challenging every assumption, and fighting for you. What I do know is this: When everything is on the line, you need more than just an attorney—you need someone who will fight relentlessly for the truth. Michael Haber is that attorney. Forever grateful, M

Dear Michael, First of all, I want to thank you for all your help and support during this process and for the peace you gave me when I arrived at the court, as my face of fear and worry was inevitable. Your experience over the years and the great work you do made this a victory in reducing the cha...rge. You went above and beyond what we could have expected, and I always felt very secure being represented by such a great professional. Once again, thank you so much. May God bless you.
