Michael Barber reached out to me within hours of me contacting his lawfirm the day after my arrest, and this sense of urgency continued throughout the duration of my case. I faced a felony & first degree misdemeanor, and within three months of the incident, his work resulted in my misdemeanor being removed, and the felony being dropped down to a second degree misdemeanor. What could have had prison time ended with probation, due to his diligence in making sure the truth of my case came to light. If it was not for this, I would have not been offered my dream job back by my employer. Mr. Barber also has fantastic connections within the legal community throughout Orlando, which helped so much with his understanding and work with the prosecution and judicial side of our the case. He has a very personable demeanor and is very easy to talk to. I can honestly say I came out of the worst period of my life as ideally as possible, and this wouldn't have been possible without him.

Michael Barber is fantastic! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed legal help regarding traffic tickets. I live out of state, and received a ticket while in Florida last month. Today, he was not only able to have my ticket dismissed, but he called very promptly after the hearing to let me know how things went. (Which I very much appreciated, because I've been quite nervous about it.) I couldn't have possibly asked for a better outcome, and I'm not sure that just any other lawyer would have succeeded here. Thank you, Michael, for your help - I greatly appreciate everything you've done. -Bethany

Michael Barber at the Umansky Law Firm was my attorney in a DUI case. Special kudos to the Umansky Law team and especiall Zahra. I am truly grateful for his legal & networking skills, even though can't do much where DMV is concerned and the dui laws like the five year rule.

Mr. Barber was such a great and understanding lawyer to work with. He was fast and efficient and was able to lower my 2nd degree felony in a sexual battery case to a misdemeanor battery. Such a blessing to have worked with him.

Michael Barber is a very energetic attorney. He brings an incredible amount of passion and legal knowledge to the case. He is literally a walking encyclopedia of the law, an ardent student of his craft. Michael was there for me throughout every step of this ordeal. He made himself available for any concerns or developments that I may have; texting sometimes late into the evening until I was in complete understanding of all developments. an amazing attorney who held string until ultimately the truth came to light & I was fully acquitted.

I was facing a first time DUI charge and did not qualify for the Pre-Trial Diversion program. Michael was able to lessen the charge to a Wreckless Driving. After 6 months of probation, Michael was able to get the probation period terminated early (because all required actions / payments had been completed on my part). Communication was exceptional.

I was facing a 2nd degree felony charge with 6 months of jail time and having a felony record for the rest of my life. It was a very scary situation to be in, I initially wanted to take the adjudication of guilt so to now have to serve any jail time, after speaking with Michael a few times, he wanted to hold off for a better deal, including trying to plead with the judge. Michael was very effective in negotiating a deal that prevented jail time and adjudication of guilt. I was given probation, have to pay restitution and court fees but the adjudication was withheld, so I will not have to be a convicted felon. He was great about answering questions and communicating with me throughout the whole process which put me at ease. I could not have asked for a better outcome and feel like a weight has been lifted and I am able to move forward.

My family hired Counselor Barber on my behalf after Florida decided the best route was to do their best to place a hard working veteran into the system and onto the street. He reviewed my case and decided it was cut and dry and nipped it in the bud. Our meets have been short and sweet and to the point. The one thing I can guarantee is that he seems to be the only attorney around that doesn't appear to be trying to rip people off for misdemeanor defense. Good results, educated attorney, and the right price. Not much else you could ask for.
