the best attorney
Truthfully none of us like to deal with lawyers or legalities; but if you have to, the lawyer you want representing you is Michael Haber! He gets right to the point, is extremely proffessional and without a doubt is brilliant regarding law. He will fight for you truly like a shark. Michael is defi...
Dear Manny, I am most grateful for your kind words and for authoring #HaberPA's 196th Client Review on AVVO. Because you chose to use your actual name in this review yet you declined to share anything about the nature of your case with the folks I'm not going to espouse upon it (which is kind of a shame as it was both interesting and out of the ordinary for me). Still, I will say that after nearly 30 years of practicing criminal defense it's a treat for me to be able to advocate in a somewhat different venue with disparate rules, divergent procedures and dissimilar burdens, and it's even better to walk away absolutely victorious. That said I thank you for sharing your observations about how I take my responsibility to the client and the manner in which I do my job as well as for recommending #HaberPA to those who need help in, with or as regards the court / legal system. Congratulations on your success and thanks again! Fondly, MAH/Esq.

Just simply amazing!!
I found myself in a very hard and difficult situation and sadly I picked up a DUI charge earlier this year. I was very fortunate to have found Mike, like I said he is just simply amazing! along with the DUI charge the cops of course through other things at me that Mike was able to have dismissed fo...
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.

Mike and his team helped me get out of a difficult time
When I had my incident with the Police, I really imagined it was all going to be down hill from there. I was arrested by a rookie police who knocked on my window while I was parked and thought I was a vagrant. After blowing 0.00 and still being arrested, I had to deal with an officer who spent the ni...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for authoring #HaberPA's 194th Client Review. Christopher Llyod / Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, Robert Downey, Jr. / Tony Stark and the crews of the various generations of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-1701E not withstanding, until someone actually develops time travel no lawyer can erase the historical facts of your detention, arrest, booking and prosecution. BUT (caps intentional) #HaberPA can (and will) address (and seek redress for) any improprieties which may have occurred before we became involved, ensure that you are treated fairly from that point in time and forward, and then move Heaven and Earth to vindicate you (by beating or mitigating your case) and restore your good name (in some cases, like yours, by expunging the matter from all publicly accessible records). #HaberPA has had many "taglines" over the years (e.g. "from traffic to trafficking", "it's all about reasonable doubt", "UPx2" [lawyer-up and shut-up], etc) but as veteran criminal defense counsel (with 28+ years of criminal defense experience) we also provide a de facto public service by "schooling rookie cops [and prosecutors]", leaving them with proverbial Ph.D.s at the conclusion of a case (and thereby, hopefully, helping them to be better at their respective jobs). I'm both honored by your praise and grateful for the opportunity to have been of assistance and I wish you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous holiday season. All the best, MAH/Esq

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...
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
