Top Quality Attoney
On November 27th, 2017 my life turned for the worse my boyfriend of five years got arrested for armed robbery. The victim claimed it was an “armed robbery” but, I knew something wasn’t right. To make a long story short, Mike Haber and his partner, Marc Morris gave us the best legal service through ed...
Dear Natalie, I cannot tell you how happy I am for you and your Beau (our client). As a criminal defense lawyer there is nothing that is more satisfying than hearing the Clerk read the words "not guilty" off of a verdict form (not even reading such a flattering after-the-fact client review - #HaberPA's 159th on AVVO, although the look on your face when he unexpectedly walked up behind you as you and I were chatting was priceless...). This was a BS case from the start. In this case the cops got it dead wrong (pathetically piss poor police work coupled with an "easy way out" arrest of a guy who was on felony probation) and the victim was a lying POS (both absolute facts) and if your Beau had not been on felony probation at the time of his arrest then he would not have spent any pre-trial time in jail. But he was on felony probation and so he was held without bond. Also, because it was an armed robbery arrest (which was ultimately filed by the State as a strong armed robbery - the difference being possible life in prison vs. 5 years of exposure), it took some time to gear the case up and get it to trial and a concurrent VOP hearing. But in the end justice was served, your beau was acquitted and now he's home, a free man who is no longer on probation. One unique thing that I have not seen in my career was the unbelievable speed with which your Beau was released from custody. After the verdict (and when the family had left) I was in the courthouse for about 10 minutes speaking with court personnel (feedback from Clerks, Corrections and Court Reporters is invaluable, even after 27 years it always helps me to be a better and more effective litigator) and as I was walking out of the building there he was, walking toward me. At first I didn't even recognize him (he was strutting through the lobby in shorts and a white t-shirt and was the last person that I expected to see - processing and release usually takes a little while, not inside of 15 minutes) but when I did we decided that it would be the most wonderful surprise ever for me to arrange to meet you and occupy your attention while he stealthily approached from behind (... nailed it). I wish I could have video taped that moment (which was impossible without cluing you in), but I'm satisfied to have it burned into my memory. Thank you again for your kind review, and mostly for your leap of faith in affording #HaberPA the privilege of securing your loved one's freedom. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy future! Elatedly --> MAH/Esq

Fast and on time expungemen Attorney
If awards can be issued to expungement Attorneys, Michael Haber should be awarded one. This process is extremely complex in the state of Florida. But Michael has a system that streamlines everything, and I did it all from over 2000 miles away. If your in the middle of doing some research for someone ...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your kind Client Review (# 157 for #HaberPA). Seal and Expungement work is, admittedly, not terribly complex (well, not like rocket science / NASA complex anyhow) but it certainly is detail-oriented, painstaking and time consuming. Fortunately for the client it can be done remotely (entirely by e-mail, snail mail and without any court appearances), and all that is need from afar is a little faith and patience. That said I am absolutely elated that you were happy with #HaberPA's service and I am even more jubilant at your would-be gift of 100 stars. You rock. Thanks again and take care. Fondly, MAH/Esq.

Excellent attorney
Hi. My husband was convicted of drug trafficking in FL in 2012. After he got out of prison we moved to a different State. He got his driver license and we were all fine up until a few weeks ago when they wouldn't renew his license because Fl had a $38,000 hold against him from fines and costs from...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you so much for your detailed and heartfelt Client Review (#HaberPA's 158th on AVVO). I don't pat myself on the back too often but as it turned out your husband's was a challenging case that wound up with an excellent result. It was difficult in that you had a dead line (needing immediate relief) and that I therefore had to rely upon my ability to juggle, work with and to some degree manipulate 3 separate entities: A) the Clerk of Court's Office - which I needed to be amenable, competent and cooperative, B) the Court - which I needed to display good will by invoking and using it's discretionary power for rapid equitable relief and C) FL-DMV - a traditionally impersonal and rigid entity with an unfriendly maze of endless bureaucracy. In the end (which was less than 2 weeks from the time of your initial contact) we were successful. Your family saved nearly 30%, your husband got his driver license back and my faith in the system "doing the right thing" was reinvigorated (believe me, when you do what I do daily, sadly you don't see this sort of result often enough). In this case Harvey Ruvin's Office (our Clerk of Court) was spectacular in it's assistance and efficiency, Judge Martin Zilber was exceptional in his understanding and willingness to ease your family's suffering and even DMV cut us great slack in letting me sneak into a line without an appointment to clear your hold and reinstate your driving privilege (so that your home State could be notified that FL was satisfied and you could get the DL that you sought). When my son was younger he used to watch a cartoon called "The Wonder Pets" and their theme was "what's gonna work... teamwork"; well that's what happened here. And as you now know there's plenty of thanks to go around, the greatest of which come from me to you; first for your leap of faith in hiring #HaberPA and permitting me the privilege of being of service and second for your awesome review. Congrats to your husband, best of luck to your family and thanks again for your kind time and effort. Earnestly, MAH/Esq.

Arrested for something stupid, found the right Lawyer
I was visiting Miami Beach when I got arrested for driving with a suspended license. I honestly didn’t know that my license was suspended. The rental car company didn’t even tell me. And the police were so rude and wouldn’t listen. They just took me to jail. I was handcuffed and put in a cell an...
Dear Tori, Thank you for your kind review. I'd like to highlight one thing - that you are an out-of-State resident who was arrested while visiting FL (which is an unfortunate yet also a common occurrence) . Two years ago (in 2016), when #HaberPA's YouTube VideoFAQ had just began, I published # 22, "Came on Vacation Left on Probation" (please see: https://youtu.be/pL3ox5W547I ) and less than a month ago (in February, 2018) I published # 223, "If I get Arrested in FL but I live out of State do I still have to come to Court?" (please see: https://youtu.be/otoc5JtPC9c ). Both videos are relevant but your case falls squarer into the latter (i.e. no probation, no court appearance, no problem). As an aside, while DWLS is an arrestable offense, in my experience most of the time law enforcement will let you go with a PTA / NTA (promise / notice to appear) and will not physically book you into the jail. Unfortunately you met the wrong police officer at the wrong time. Miami (and it's surrounding area) is truly a "Magic City", even if we do have a few crummy cops. Still, I'm happy that you're happy and I hope that you'll come back to visit us again. Take care, MAH/Esq.

Marcia Sawyer
I hired Michael Haber as my lawyer. He answered all questions, and kept me informed every step of the way. He was very aggressive about the taking the case, to trial as quick as possible. In doing so Michael Haber, Won! my case and had all charges drop. I would recommend Michael Harber to any one se...
Dear Marcia, Thank you for your kind words. As we went to trial and the case is now a matter of public record I hope you don't mind my providing a little context for the folks. You, a 65 y/o woman, were arrested for a DV (domestic violence) battery; your 26 y/o daughter being the complaining witness. You were taken to jail, held for 3 days and released with significant restrictions, including not being able to go near your own home (which your daughter has had to herself and her boyfriend since the date of your arrest). You had a PD for 4 months before you hired #HaberPA. We immediately demanded a Speedy Trial, the State responded by adding a new felony count on the day of trial and caused your case to be transferred to Circuit (from County Court). We were reset for trial within a month ("speedies" continued to tick), and your case was sent to "back-up" for trial. Your daughter's testimony was incredible (her last words from the witness stand on cross-examination being "Now I have my own place"), the cops (if you can call them that) were absolutely pathetic (I won't ID anyone but I will say that the Miami Gardens PD may well have the worst example of law enforcement that I have seen in almost 27 years), you took the stand, providing a heartfelt, emotional and difficult account of events and, after that, the Judge wisely acquitted you of all charges. Having spent the past couple of months with you I know how painful this case was for you, and I also appreciate how difficult the healing process will be. I want you to know that I have nothing but respect for you and that I thank you for the privilege of allowing my partner and I to help you to achieve due process in court. "Winning" always feels good, but in this case substantial justice for an innocent and wrongfully arrested person was served... and as a criminal defense lawyer there's no better feeling. Wishing you all of the best and thanking you again. Fondly, MAH/Esq
