I called Mike Haber, P.A. after getting in some trouble (unfortunately) that could have seriously changed the course of my life as well as future business endeavors. I will refrain from naming the legal issue; but, Mike handled my case with the upmost professionalism, never allowing me to feel defeat...ed, and always had a positive but realistic outlook on the outcome of my case. Needless to say, with Mike's vast legal knowledge and being a highly respected member of Miami's legal community my case was dismissed and expunged much sooner than we had thought. I will be forever thankful and grateful for Mike's hard work and dedication to me and every client he takes on.

When his daughter Jean died Mark Twain wrote, “Possibly I know now what the soldier feels when a bullet crashes through his heart.” Sadly, as a parent I too can now relate. Late last year I received a call from a police officer friend who told me that my son had rear ended a stopped police car, i...njuring a police Sergeant in the police car and critically injuring his girlfriend who was the passenger in my son’s car. She was trapped inside of the vehicle and while it was on fire she was carried out of the driver’s side. The firey car crash was clearly captured on police dash cam video, my son’s blood was taken and it turned out that he was very intoxicated at the time. Not knowing what to do I turned to a trusted attorney friend who strongly recommended me to Mike Haber. I called Mike and the very next morning he and I met, and then together we went to the hospital to see my son. Mike interviewed my son with a surprising amount of knowledge and empathy. He understood our shock, emotions and also the immediate need to address the underlying issue of alcohol abuse. (Sadly, this disease runs in my family, having gotten me too, although I’ve been sober for more than 40 years.) To simultaneously help my son with both his substance abuse and psychological and emotional issues (and as it turned out it was also a strategic tool for the case) Mike recommended inpatient treatment immediately after discharge from the hospital at a dual diagnosis facility. He explained that my son would spend 3 months inpatient, then step down to a halfway house and finally would come home and participate in intensive outpatient treatment. By structuring a plan to help my son on both personal and professional levels it was apparent that Mike genuinely cared about my son’s interests both outside and inside of the courtroom. But Mike’s strategy didn’t end there. As the case progressed we brought on experts to help build a defense (a forensic toxicologist for blood evidence issues, an accident reconstructionist for crash evidence and a forensic psychologist for mitigation). I honestly wasn’t sure why Mike insisted on all of this but I quickly found out the why of it. The State Attorney had no empathy at all for my son. Because of my son’s high blood alcohol content, the injury to the police Sergeant and the severe injury to my son’s girlfriend they refused to offer anything less than nearly 6 years in prison, and this is when the fight started in court. Mike and his partner started filing motions and set our experts loose to challenge the State’s evidence, and then I finally understood that our experts - the team that had Mike created - were really important to the motions that Mike was filing. Because of Mike’s strategy and his relentless efforts, after 8 grueling months my son was able to avoid a trial and a possible 7 year prison sentence by agreeing to serve 364 days in jail. Mike’s efforts got the State to make this offer, and now that it’s all said and done I honestly believe that Mike Haber saved my son’s life. I don’t wish it upon anyone but if at some future time you have one of Twain’s “bullet in the heart” life experiences that leaves you in a legal conundrum then let me pass on the recommendation that worked so well for my family: Call Mike Haber. (I should also mention that Mike always - ALWAYS - responded to our calls, texts, emails, etc., even when he was out of the country on vacation with his family.)

I shopped around for a lawyer but the first time i called Mike Haber and we spoke on the phone for 50 minutes i figured he would be the best choice and i'm glad i found him. In the initial phone conversation he was able to tell me off the top of his head everything i needed to know where 2 other firm...s said they need to check and to call them back. He knows his stuff and how it works. He cc'd me on emails with the state attorney's representative and his negotiation was a one way road, in our favor. He helped me close the case quickly without a trial and just a small fine. Thank you very much

While on vacation in Miami, I was arrested and charged with a felony battery over a dispute with my soon to be ex wife. Not knowing anyone in Miami I started looking for an attorney and hired one. His name was Jonathan Meltz. I initially paid him $5000 to represent me. We had about two conversations ...over the phone (I was back in Boston then). After three months and a struggle to reach out to him (he would not answer his phone, nor would he return the calls!) I was desperate to find a knowledgeable attorney who could represent me and defend me. My case was not a simple case. It was a felony battery in which the state attorney had secured evidence! I started browsing avvo.com and searches for an other attorney. There I found Michael Haber. I called him on a Saturday evening (around 6pm) and left a voicemail. My call was returned within 30 minutes. After briefly explaining my case, he told me he needed to review the case online and would call me back within the hour. Exactly an hour later, it seemed that he had memorized my case already. My previous attorney had filed absolutely nothing on my behalf. It became evident we needed to act fast as the next hearing was approaching. Since his reviews were all 5 stars I decided to trust him. This was probably the BEST decision I had ever made! He sent all the motions in a timely manner, defended me so aggressively that the district attorney struggled keeping this case going the way they wanted it to. He strategically asked for extensions to give us more time to prepare the case. He threatened to subpoena my ex wife as they were refusing to fly her in to Miami. Yesterday, finally after over a year of struggle, the case was dismissed! I’ll never thank him enough for everything he did!

I had the pleasure of hiring Michael Haber PA for my boyfriend’s case. The consideration he took when he decided to pick up his office phone at 8 o’clock on a Friday night speaks volumes, and from that first day before I even decided to hire Mr. Haber he was already diagnosing the case and figuring o...ut what angles to take in the case. With Mr. Haber’s dedication and diligence the case was dropped down from 37 year sentence to a one year sentence. Even though the case was not taken trial I have no doubt in my mind that Mr. Haber and his team were ready to take the task on if necessary.
