A Superhero & Best Defense Attorney In Broward

If you are looking for the best Defense Attorney in Broward County, well then you will hire Adam Harmelin to represent you. I have been working with Mr. Harmelin for 5 years now. I highly recommend him and his services. He basically saved my life after I made the worst decision of my life. ... I have never had any trouble getting in contact with him. He has always immediately answered my calls or responded with a text or voicemail stating exactly when he will return my calls and he has been consistently consistent with his follow up. Throughout the 5 years I haven’t always had the money to hire him, (Although his rates are more than reasonable for the Defense he provides) and he still has always been there for me to give me his Legal Advice. He recently just assisted me early Termination of my Probation and I will write now my exact words I sent in my big Thank You to him : “You may not wear a Cape but you are a Superhero to me!” So if you are looking for an Attorney who knows the system, has an amazing relationship with Judges and Prosecutors alike, who will provide you with a Defense above and beyond, then hire Adam Harmelin. He is simply the best!

GOOD Attorney and Person

Adam Harmelin was there for my family member when we needed him, visiting Florida from out of state, he helped with a DUI and did everything possible, he was crafted with his thinking and always made time to answer any questions, Good Attorney and Humanitarian!!!

DUI Reduced to Reckless Driving

Mr. Harmelin represented me on a DUI where I caused an accident. The crash investigator and the arresting officer thought I was drunk and on drugs since I admitted to taking many different drugs. Mr. Harmelin took the depositions of the witnesses in my case during which he was able to pick apart th...eir testimony. As a result of his hard work, he negotiated a reduction in charge from DUI Property Damage to Reckless Driving with no conviction. I thank god every day for Mr. Harmelin and all the hard work he did on my case.
