My son was facing criminal charges for speeding in excess of the posted limit; He was facing possible jail time and excessive fines. Michael Harwin was quick to respond, he explained the process to us and began working on his case immediately. My son’s case was re-evaluated by the arresting office ...and the charges were modified to a lesser charge. Mr. Harwan kept my family informed and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. Thank you Mr. Harwin, you put my family at ease and helped my son with a difficult situation.

Almost a year and a half ago our 18-yr. son had a dangerous single-car accident that involved the police. Soon that was followed by drug problems which led to charges of domestic violence and criminal damage. The situation seemed overwhelming and we knew we needed the best lawyer possible. A fri...end who is a top attorney in Tucson recommended Mike Harwin. We looked Mike up and saw that he had an excellent resume. We called him and he met with us right away. Mike was friendly but professional, understanding but firm with our son and it was clear he was the right choice. We were concerned that the best could be unaffordable but he laid out his excellent prices and we accepted them and he got to work immediately. A year and a half later we couldn’t be happier with Mike and his results. Throughout the process he fought for our son at every turn. He was right there when we needed him and he always knew the right thing to say at the right time and he even advised us on matters that weren’t involved with the case. We’d be in tough situations and Mike would call us out of the blue to offer advise and reassure us. He was so generous with his time and expertise that we felt we owed him more than our original financial agreement but he wouldn’t accept additional payment. It hard to imagine how difficult this process is. Mike’s legal skills and the relationships he has with people in the legal system are critical, but his empathy and manner are invaluable when you feel your son’s world is crashing in around him. We feel so lucky to have had Mike defending our son and supporting our family. He always listened, was compassionate and helped us through some of our lowest moments. In the end we got an excellent legal outcome: the accident records were expunged and the domestic violence charge was dismissed.. We’ll never forget what he did for our family…

Michael Harwin is an amazing lawyer, as well as a really funny and great guy! He helped me step by step get through my DUI case, when I was really scared. I was looking at a pretty harsh sentence and he had it lowered to practically nothing. He always returns phone calls and e mails as soon as possib...le. He keeps in touch with his clients and makes sure that they are doing well. He recommends great programs too. I would definitely recommend him to any of my family or friends that may be in a difficult situation with the law. He is an extremely skilled and bright guy. In my opinion he is the greatest lawyer in Tucson! I really thank him for helping me in many ways. Do not hesitate to call him as soon as possible he will most probably meet with you the next day to get the process started, again great lawyer!!!!

Michael was an excellent ally throughout what was a very troubling time for me. I was arrested for a DUI and Michael guided me through what would have otherwise been an unnavigable ordeal. I wanted to be informed on my case throughout the process and Michael was accommodating in this respect. He met ...with me often just to do status updates and was upfront about my potential prospects of a trial. In the end we were able to get a plea to a lesser charge. I am quite certain that without his representation I would have a DUI on my record right now. If you are currently looking for a lawyer due to a DUI charge, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have legal representation. You do not know enough to maximize the chance of a positive outcome alone. I am very comfortable recommending that you consult Michael Harwin to be your representative. If you find yourself in legal troubles related to a DUI,

My son was charged with Criminal Damage resulting from an automobile accident. Allegations related to drug use were involved. I was asked for help in hiring an attorney. Unfortunately I live out of state and have no familiarity with Tucson lawyers. I do however have a law degree and know what to ...look for and what questions to ask when hiring an attorney. Three critical areas immediately come to mind - competence, integrity and communications. Michael excels in all three and also has a fourth quality which serves his clients well - compassion! Prior to speaking with him, I checked Michael's rating in Martindale Hubbel to see what his peer group thought of him. He has an exemplary rating. With that information in hand, I called and spoke with him. He had none of the arrogance often found in highly rated attorneys. Quite the opposite. He was gracious, engaging and focused on the problem at hand. After our conversation, I was convinced that Michael was the best choice in Tucson to handle my son's case. Just to be sure, two other criminal defense attorneys were also interviewed. Michael and his staff thoroughly investigated the charges and the evidence. If found guilty, my son faced a possible multi-year sentence. Rather than go to trial, Michael was able to negotiate a deal with the District Attorney resulting in a 6 month sentence for which my son was incarcerated for about 3 months. Our family viewed this outcome as a major success, a definite win! Remember that fourth quality I mentioned earlier, compassion? That played a significant role in the process. My son surrendered himself and was taken into custody 2 months prior to his sentencing hearing. During that time, aside from communicating with the family, Michael made a special effort to provide guidance to my son's spouse who had no one else to turn to. That showed me a lot. I am convinced without a doubt that Michael was the best choice. While I normally refrain from granting endorsements, I happily make an exception in this case. If you, or a loved one, find yourself in need of legal counsel, I heartily recommend Michael Harwin.
