Glad I had him in my corner
From the beginning, Mr. Haber answered all my questions and concerns in a timely and straightforward manner. I made a monumentally foolish mistake that risked putting my plea deal in jeopardy. His legal mind navigated me through this difficult time with a stern and effective approach culminating in a...
Dear Anonymous, I know precisely who you are and what you did, and without disclosing either any confidences or your identity I am going to use your case as a lesson for the folks who read this (I truly hope that this does not bother or offend you, and if it does then A) I apologize and B) just let me know and I will delete / re-write this reply). After 26 years in this business I reasonably foresee certain avoidable complications - such as risking driving for non-business purposes while you have a pending DUI and a restricted BPO license - and I go to great lengths to make sure that my clients understand these pitfalls. But, as the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water...", and so all that I can do is to advise, prepare and warn you. I cannot control either your behavior or the consequences of your behavior. In your case you were exceedingly lucky (against all odds) but you could have, you should have in fact, not been so fortunate. So for those of you reading this, be it improperly driving on a BPO license or otherwise, if you have enough confidence to put your life / liberty into a lawyer's hands (not to fail to mention to pay her / him to defend you) then please, pretty please, heed the advise of your counselor at law. That said I am elated that you dodged a bullet, are not in custody and I wish that I could take credit for brilliant lawyering, but the truth is that you avoided a new substantive case and a virtually certain jail sentence by sheer luck. Noting that I've given you numbers 2 & 3 previously, following are some gratuitous final tidbits of advise : 1) Buy some Lotto tickets (hopefully your streak carries over long enough for you to cash in), 2) do what you are supposed to do, when and how you are supposed to do it and 3) DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO (caps intentional). Thanks again for the thoughtful review. Wishing you all the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq

Criminal Defense Lawyer
I wanted to express my gratitude for your efforts and dedication for my son case. It is really hard to make someone who doesn’t know you believe that you are innocent, but you still put all your efforts in clearing his name. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to whoever is in need of a l...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your kind words. I am humbled and honored. The most difficult client to defend is the truly innocent client, like your son, but when you've got both the facts and the law on your side then things tend to work out as they should, and as they did here (case dismissed). Wishing you and your family all the best. Fondly, MAH/Esq

The Best Criminal Defense Attorney
Mr. Haber came highly recommend to us in 2008 and I could say that we were extremely happy with our outcome of that case. Unfortunately we had to hire him again in 2017. He is blunt and tells you how it is. He fights hard for his clients and is always available to answer questions and help in whateve...
Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your kind words. I am grateful for your observations about my availability, my willingness to go the extra mile, my courtroom demeanor and presence and my work ethic, as these are all significant matters of pride. While there is an unfortunate quality to having repeat clients there is also a silver lining (for me anyhow): I know that I earned both your confidence and your trust the first time around, and, frankly, I cannot ask or expect for much more than that from myself. Thank you again for your heartfelt words. They mean a great deal to me. Wishing you and yours the best of happiness, luck and success. Fondly, MAH/Esq

GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!
My child was facing many judicial challenges where my child could have been incarcerated for many years. Michael worked his magic with prosecutor and the judge. My child did go to jail for several months. When the sentence was completed my child resumed their life without any probation.
Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your kind review. I hope that you do not mind but I am going to clarify the situation a little for the benefit of the reader. In this instance your unnamed son was on his 2nd VOP (Violation of Probation). He was being concurrently supervised on 2 separate felony cases in front of a notoriously tough Judge. I was not his original lawyer. I was brought in when he VOP'd the 1st time. In both VOP's your son faced up to 25 years in prison. The first time we managed to get him a (rare) probation bond and then to get his probation reinstated, but the Judge took your son into custody on the 2nd VOP (refusing a bond). Due to the combination of A) the legally and factually undefendable nature of the allegations and B) the Judge's clearly stated intention to "punish" your son, we put forth a mitigation defense - meaning that we engaged in calculated plea negotiations. The bottom line is that your son spent almost 2 months in custody before we were able to secure a 270 day plea agreement (with credit for the nearly 2 months served, netting him about 210 days). The beauty of this result is that 1) your son did not go to state prison (not for 1 day much less up to 25 years), 2) your son stays local (so you can visit as you wish with minimum inconvenience), 3) your son will earn more gain time and likely get released sooner (you must serve 85% in state prison whereas here "in County" he may serve as little as 66%) and (perhaps most importantly) 4) when he finishes his sentence your son will no longer be on probation (which is an invitation for failure in many cases, your son's included). All of that said again, I appreciate your kind review and I am very happy that I was able to accomplish our litigation objective (i.e. keeping your son out of state prison - and beating our own private - albeit not confidentially, just internal - "over / under" of 364 days by about 27%), BUT... it wasn't magic. It was preparation, planning and being able to effectuate a comprehensive stratagem formed from a global perspective... a course of action that only came to fruition because you and your husband steadfastly supported your son (as every parent should do but, sadly, many do not). So I thank you - not only for thanking me but for your patience and commitment to helping me to help your son, who will likely be home in time for Thanksgiving. Wishing your family all of the best! Fondly, MAH/Esq

DUI AND DWI
I had a DUI/ Crash case very recently and Mr. Haber is very knowledgable, straight-forward, and he always answer his phone calls or texts messages at any time, weather it'd be early morning or late night he is always available for any question or concerns that you may have and he will provided hones...
Dear Christopher, Thank you for your kind review. As you have just attested, I have striven to make Michael A. Haber, P.A. a boutique ("boutique" meaning "a small company that offers highly specialized services") law practice that custom tailors its services to meet the needs of the client. This incorporates such things as (but is not limited to) doing my best to meet clients at their convenience (as opposed to mine), in locations and at times which are mutually convenient (sometimes at their homes, places of business, independent ground and even at odd hours), structuring fees to reasonably accommodate the parties, paying careful and comprehensive consideration to both micro and macro issues in a given case so as to be able to agree upon and effort toward achieving a viable litigation objective and, perhaps most importantly, making myself personally available to the client as close to 24/7 as is possible. That said, your praise is both heartfelt and touched mine, and so, and again, I thank you. Please remember that I am available to you and to yours at anytime. Fondly, MAH/Esq
