Great Lawyer and a Scholar

Michael Harwin saved my life by winning my DUI case which jeopardized my immigration status. I was afraid I was going to get deported and wouldn't be able to finish my studies because of a stupid mistake. I hired Michael Harwin because I spent a good amount of time searching for a good DUI Lawyer ...and after reading his credentials I knew he was the guy. I am glad I chose Michael Harwin because he is a very knowledgable guy and he knew how important my case was and didn't stop until we won. We probably appealed four times so it took a while but the end result was worth it.

Our Family will Never Forget what Mr. Harwin Did for Us

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…

Harwin and associates saved my military career

Let me preface this by saying that I am a military member so a favorable trial outcome meant the difference between being able to continue my 10-year career or possibly facing discharge. Harwin and Associates won my case at trial and had all charges against me dismissed. They put my life and career... back in my control and returned my peace of mind. On the morning after my arrest for suspicion of DUI, my wife and I researched extensively online for the best DUI attorney in Tucson. Mr. Harwin consistently came up in our search so we called him and he agreed to meet with us that same day. When we went to his office, Mike immediately struck me as a genuinely nice, no-BS guy who knew his job VERY well. He listened to my story and asked a lot of excellent and detailed questions. Mike even knew who the arresting officer was before I told him just based on where I was pulled over!!! Because this was a serious matter and we wanted to make sure we were getting the absolute best attorney in town, we decided to speak with one other top Tucson DUI firm. After telling them with we had already consulted with Mr. Harwin, they actually told us that we had already talked to the best in town and that we'd be in great hands with Mike. That's saying a lot considering that they're competing for the same business. By the time we got to trial about a year had passed and I didn't endure any hardships or suffer any negative consequences over that entire time. Mike successfully filed motions to keep my full driving privileges intact, got all DMV fines waived and ensured that we went to trial armed to the teeth with all of the evidence and the absolute best expert witnesses available. Mr. Redmon took over my case as the lead defense attorney a few months prior to trial. He had just come over from the Tucson City Court prosecutor's office and brought many years worth of valuable experience with him. During his time as a prosecutor, Scott earned numerous awards which shows that he is an extremely hard worker, is great at what he does and is very well regarded. Throughout my trial he knew every move the prosecuting attorney was going to make and was always three steps ahead. In our time together, I got to know Scott quite well as we talked about everything from hobbies to sports to family. He is an extremely genuine, intelligent and likable guy who is a devoted husband and father with strong family values. He was absolutely the perfect fit for my case and our win at trial was as much a testament to Scott's abilities as it was to my innocence. I trusted Scott and Mike with my life and can honestly say that I would do it again without hesitation. They are the ONLY attorneys I now recommend to family and friends (and we even have several family members and friends who ARE attorneys). If you ever find yourself in a lurch, please do yourself a favor and hire Harwin and Associates. I promise you will not regret it.

Definitely THE best Lawyer in Tucson!!!

I spoke with two other lawyers before I had my appointment with Mr. Harwin. When I walked into Mr. Harwin's office to discuss my DUI case he absolutely did not make me feel like a criminal, he made me feel like a person that has a light at the end of the tunnel. I felt like my life was over but he i...s a very kind and personable guy that makes you feel at ease. He does not make promises on how a case will end but he does promise that he will give his all to your case. After what felt like a life time, 9 months later, Mr. Harwin contacted me and said "I have some good news!" My case was being dismissed! He is definitely the best. He keeps in contact with you throughout the entire process. At the very LEAST contact Mr. Harwin for a consultation. You will NOT be disappointed.

An amazing lawyer as well as a great guy!!!

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!!!!
