My son is a law student at U. of Miami. He is still on my auto insurance policy because he is in school. While stopped in front of a police car at a redlight in Miami, the officer used a scanner to randomly check my son's license plate. The state system erroneously indicated that he was an uninsured driver and was driving with a suspended license, which nothing could be farther than the truth. Because the charges were for a misdemeanor crime, the officer could have arrested my son right then and there, but believed him when he assured the officer he was fully insured. I, myself, am a lawyer and understand that a matter like this, if not handled properly, could delay or inhibit my son being admitted to the Florida Bar. I was panicked! Attorney Michael Haber, my friend from law school, "saved the day." He easily and quickly analyzed the situation, and diligently and precisely performed everything he represented my son for and got all of the charges TOTALLY DISMISSED. He accomplished this through both his knowledge of criminal and traffic laws. In fact, he disposed the case against my son without my son even having to appear in court. Attorney Haber understood just how serious this was to me for my son. He told me exactly what to expect and was 100% "on the ball" getting from me the evidence he needed to win. He filed the appropriate paperwork with the court, attended the arraignment (again without my son) and got all of the charges thrown out exactly the way he told me it would turn out. Attorney Haber was my first choice to help my son. We both have son's the same age and he assured me he would treat this as if it was his son. What a relief! Attorney Haber is probably one of the brightest, sharpest other students I met in law school. And, now, HE IS A LAWYER's LAWYER"! Don't hire anyone else or you may very well come out withe the "short end of the stick.." Robert Fenster, Esq.

I was lucky for being referred to Mr. Haber from the beginning of my defense. The first time we met, it was all about trust, especially in those dark moments of life, when I did not clearly know what was happening to me and how I could get back to normal life. Mr. Haber truly explained things with confidence and at my level of understanding. “Sometimes it’s just like being in a rip current without the need to swim against waves” he well said with a confidence in his plans for defense while I was very worried and stressed at first. Soon I realized my case was in good hands when Mr. Haber was working on it. His reassurance despite the uphill battle was huge and his connection in any steps was a relief. Mr. Haber is approachable and professional. Now by describing the post dismissed case status as a glorious moment, I know a reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate, professional lawyer, and just like how a patient cured from cancer goes back to their doctor, I go back to him if needed. There are no worries though unless and until the cancer comes back. And even then, Mr. Haber is determined to have solutions for success. As always, he does not leave his clients alone in these stressful moments of life. The best way I can describe a case of a wrongful accusation, being dismissed at hearing is like how a patient that has suffered from cancer and uncertainties around cure and treatments receives the brilliant news of a complete remission. It’s like that moment of life when doctors hear: “You mean I’m cured of an evil cancer? It’s gone?” This is a feeling you cannot easily describe due to being overwhelmed with happiness pursued by fear. The happiness for the success to prove innocence in a position of defense when in reality, I was the victim of a manipulative person. The pursuant fear is like a potential relapse in the mind of a patient that has just recovered from cancer after some inevitably damaging and curing chemotherapy. The fear of continuous harm and reputation damage by this person could be very devastating. We sometimes compare doctors to angels when recovered from a serious illness. But I think lawyers like Mr. Haber who go above and beyond are incomparable to angel or doctors because they can even save doctors when no other doctor can do so. Bottom line, In the darkness and despair when you may wish time would go back, it may be enough for a client to pursue the lights shed on their case by a great lawyer as Mr. Haber, which is the key to go back to a normal life.

Professional, direct, and top notch results for your legal issues at a reasonable rate. Mr. Ben Jacobi PA picked up my case after our prior attorney withdrew due to the mental chaos the other party ,whom is a master manipulator , with a strong litigation disorder perhaps resulted in her withdrawing due to the never-ending nonsense and ongoing fabricated lies and outrageous unfounded allegations, that no professional, especially a top rated law firm could possibly , no matter what rate your being paid, represent. Looking back, it was a blessing in disguise as we moved over to new and experienced counsel. Somehow, Mr. Jacobi picked up the pieces, developed a strategy, and helped me understand all aspects of family law with realistic expectations . He was honest with me, but relentless on key issues. His staff was responsive, professional, and helpful. This is a law firm of integrity that offer experience in family law, Real Estate , Bankruptcy, Disability , Wills, Trust and Probate as well as many other legal areas. Most importantly, Jacobi and Jacobi P.A. literally changed my entire families life! I owe Mr. Benjamin R. Jacobi North Miami Beach Florida far more than a lousy thank you, he literally changed our lives in ways that I am positive he has many others! I am truly grateful!

I can’t begin to describe how efficient and highly professional Jennie, Luz and the team were. The experience of losing a loved one is catastrophic and pain staking. While encountering other attorneys in the probate space many lacked the consideration and patience required to deal with a grieving family. I can only begin to say how great a job the Farshchian Law Group did handling this entire situation. I trust Jennie and wouldn’t hesitate to call her again. Thanks Shawn M

I was extremely happy with the service and attention my transaction received from Farshchian Law/Marina Title. Attorney Farshchian was knowledgeable in every detail of real estate law my transaction involved, and my transaction was complicated! But she and her staff got it done. Everyone in the office was super professional and a pleasure to work with. Whether you have a complicated investor transaction or are a first time home buyer, you will be well served!

On many occasions I am asked to provide letters of recommendations and reviews for companies, attorneys, doctors, I deal with on a professional basis. I am a CPA and a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and understand the importance of these recommendations, especially when it relates to the character and integrity of a business. In addition, accurate information with minimal corrections to documents, files, and information is important to me when dealing with other professionals. Therefore, I am writing this review and highly recommending Farshchian Law, P.A. which was very timely, professional and completed the job when promised. The information was accurate, reasonably priced, and did not require continuous revisions and corrections to the numerous documents that they were working on for my wife and me. All representatives of Farshchian Law P.A. were professional and a pleasure to with on these projects. All due dates were met and the process was as good as it gets. What great service!!! Therefore, I highly recommend Farshchian Law, P.A. which was very professional and highly knowledgeable when it came to the work performed.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.

    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of North Miami, Florida?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
