Best lawyer I have ever hired!!

Mike Haber is the best attorney I have ever hired. I was on probation for 5 years and violated with a dirty urine. I was looking at a minimum of 30 months in Florida state prison, and I didn't know what to do. I ditched my prior counsel and decided to hire Mike. I didn't even do any jail time. He was... the man for the job, as for he was aggressive and got the job done!!! I highly recommend Mike to anyone with legal issues. Mike gets five stars across the board from me!!

Thank you for your kind words Fred, but and for the benefit of the folks who may read this, it wasn't quite as simple as you stated ("I was on probation for 5 years and violated with a dirty urine"). Yes, you were on probation for 5 years and violated with a dirty urine, but you were on concurrent probation in 2 separate felony cases (including violent crimes and narcotics cases), each containing multiple felony charges, and all of this before a notoriously tough Judge who had already once given you a break on a previous probation violation. That said, we went on offense, big time, got "aggressive and got the job done!!!", and in no small part because of your, and your family's, steadfast effort at painstakingly complying with my strategy. So, while I thank you for your excellent review, I also take my hat off to you, because you are the one who actually did all of the hard work (coming up with strategy is infinitely easier than actually, and religiously, following the strategy that I am able to conjure) and it is you who earned your freedom. So congratulations, thank you again and I wish you the best of luck and success (not only in completing your reinstated probation but also afterward). Fondly, --> M

Thank you very kindly for your brief but to the point words Nate. I am honored and thrilled that you were pleased enough with my information to author an unexpected review. I am on AVVO to charitably offer assistance, usually generic, and do not expect anything in return. As with many Samaritan acts this is often times a thankless pursuit, so when I receive feedback like yours it truly motivates and encourages me to want to offer more. Thank you again!

A friend and a very trusted lawyer

I have known Mike Haber for about 10 years, but prior to 2016 I only knew him socially. Our kids played together in the neighborhood park and we would sit and chat about things regularly. It had been several years since we had seen one another but, regretfully, I recently found myself on the wrong ...side of the law, I needed legal representation and so I called Mike, who answered right away. We discussed the case, Mike pulled the police reports and then gave me a plan of action. He did not hesitate and I did precisely what he told me to do, even when I did not want to follow his instructions. At those times Mike always reassured me that my sacrifice and commitment would pay off... I guess you could say that he talked me off the ledge (more than once). Anyhow, the bottom line is that my case is now closed and I did not do one day in jail. I can now say that not only is Mike Haber a great father and a fun guy to spend time with at the park, but he is also an amazing attorney. Mike is thoroughly versed in the law, he also understands how the system works, he knows how to deal with difficult clients (like me), he promptly answers calls and e-mails, he diffuses problems, he captures all eyes and ears in the courtroom and, most importantly, he delivers what he promises.... "Boutique Criminal Defense, DUI and BUI representation". Thank you Mike. I'm very happy to call you both my friend and my lawyer.

Craig, thank you (and you're welcome). Sincerely. Your review was so perfectly written (even citing my tag-line about being a "boutique" law firm) that I am almost (almost) at a loss for words. There is nothing more flattering than a rave client review, except perhaps for one that is authored by a "friend turned client". I told you that which I always tell my clients (and my friends and my 11 y/o son - just as my father ingrained into me) that if you can do 2 things then you will be just fine: 1) Do what you are supposed to do, how and when you are supposed to do it; and 2) Don't do anything that you are not supposed to do. And you did. And you also did not. And so we would not be where we are now had you failed to steadfastly listen to and heed that advise (most especially when you did so over your inclinations to act contrarily). I am absolutely elated for you and for your family, I wish you all the best and I am most grateful for your client review. Fondly, MAH/Esq

Positive Hard Working Lawyer!

Michael was an amazing lawyer! He got down to business and worked hard for me since day one of him taking my case. He kept me updated on everything about the case, he would always answer my calls and questions in a timely manner. If it wasn't for Michael, I would have been very stressed about my case..., he was always there to reassure me and gave me the best help. Michael does everything he can to make sure justice is served for you!

Hi Amanda. Thank you for both your kind words and positive review. Your case was interesting because it involved a great deal of strategy. There were legal issues ("stand your ground" / self-defense), factual issues (your alleged victim provably unlawfully seeking compensation for a pre-existing medical condition) and practical issues (you having been a tourist when you were unfortunately arrested in FL and being out of State while I prepared your defense). Please know that your constant availability and meaningful participation, coupled with your flying down and preparing for trial testimony, were significant factors in getting the State to decide to dismiss their (bogus) case against you at the 11th hour. Congratulations on your victory. I am happy to have been able to have helped you achieve justice.

DUI Case

Life changes literally in seconds. Here I was on my way home from a business dinner one early evening when I came across a DUI check point. My lane was randomly picked. I was asked where did I come from and if I had drank any alcohol. I replied, a business dinner and I had a glass of wine. Well, t...his quickly became the worst night of my life. Someone who never had encountered a problem with the law and always followed the rules. I refused the breathalyzer and therefore was arrested. I knew of Attorney Michael Haber from a close family member who had used his services in the past with a favorable outcome. I still consulted with a couple of attorneys, but quickly made the decision to hire Michael. Not to many attorneys will tell you exactly how it is most say what you want to hear. I didn't necessarily like to hear some things he had to say, but with no doubt you will always know where you stand with Michael and he will not sugar coat your situation. It is rare to see an attorney return your phone calls timely, respond to a text and or e-mail and Michael does just that. Everything he told me would happen did and his guidance was exactly on point. He is an experienced, knowledgeable and professional attorney. One that will always get back to you as quickly as possible to answer your questions and/or concerns. I highly recommend Michael Haber as I know you will not be disappointed.

Thank you very much for your positive review. Not that I do not laud my experience and knowledge, but I do take particular pride in being a lawyer who "will always get back to you as quickly as possible to answer your questions and/or concerns" and who will "return your phone calls timely, respond to a text and or e-mail". Communication (honest communication) is one of the keys to any successful relationship, and attorney-client is no different than any other. So no, I will not "not sugar coat your situation" (or, as I like to say, "I won't blow sunshine up your skirt / pant leg")... What I will do is take a comprehensive look at the facts and the circumstances of the case, then apply my experience and the law to lay out the options as I see them, help you to choose a reasonable litigation objective and then make every reasonable effort at securing a dismissal, suppression of evidence or an acquittal by any possible factual, legal, procedural or substantive means or mechanism. Thank you again for your kind review and for your heartfelt recommendation of my services,
