There is nobody else better qualified to handle school issues than Attorney Barber. This is his passion and purpose and it shows. He is the one and only guide you need should you face the nightmare of having to travel through The OCPS minefield of all-too-often-arbitrary justice. If you find yourself, like me, lucky enough to never have needed legal representation before — don’t take a chance on some random attorney you find on Google. We were referred to him by two outstanding attorneys and he did an outstanding job in a very short amount of time. Honest, straight forward, responsive—- things you assume would describe any attorney, but actually hard to find. He cares and becomes quickly invested in getting Justice for your child.

Michael first of is humble, respectful and delivered a true customer service approach. Our family had a school board involved hearing involving a bad decision our child made. Michael took our case on short notice, mind you recommended by the firm I initially hired. He was presented to us as THE BEST around in this area of defence. Truth be told we feel that he is. In addition to that his local ties and network makes him invaluable as an attorney. In our case I believe his preparation with us though it was short, it was on point. That alone was worth the retainer fee. We followed his direction and everything he said was going to happen, did. It was as it was scripted... Why does this matter? It shows the level of experience M. Barber has. If your child ever encounters a school disciplinary issue PLEASE CALL MICHAEL BARBER!

Michael Barber was hands down the best attorney that I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Both he and his staff and partners were prompt in getting back to me with any questions or concerns that I had involving my case. He was thorough in collecting evidence to help with my case and was able to handle it in my favor in less than three weeks. I'd recommend him to anyone who is looking for representation and wants someone who they can feel confident that is doing everything in their power to help them with all of their legal needs!

If you are looking for someone to represent you that is knowledgable, hard working, professional and also genuinely cares about his clients, then Michael Barber will not disappoint. He handled all my motions, including Early Termination of probation, and got the best result possible each time. My Early Termination motion was granted from a judge that is typically difficult to convince. Mr. Barber works to develop a positive working relationship with the state attorney's he deals with in order to help his clients get the best result possible. I fully recommend him to anyone needing representation.

Our experience was impeccable representation from Attorney Barber! I express "our" because Attorney Barber went into my fiancé's case with extreme knowledge while sharply skilled into his craft as well high expectations of the fight, trial and outcome. All and more in which he delivered!
We then later needed representation for a more delicate member of my family. Because I/we had witnessed his skill, and were not just happy with the outcome of an impossible win, but EXTREMELY Impressed in our last experience with Attorney Barber, we did not hesitate and both entrusted Attorney Barber with this situation as well.
Our end result was overwhelmingly surreal!
In our prior situation where facing a minimum of 12 years D.O.C. and a maximum of 30 years to include priors, a current conviction as well as current violation of felony probation Attorney Barber got us Off on not 1 Extra day served; for 18 months total and the 18 months to be ran concurrent with the felony violation and what was left on the current D.O.C. sentence.!!!
Our recent and last situation, Attorney Barber did the same as far our fight, his skill and determination led us from a plea offer of 4.5 years and or 10 years minimum if found guilty to another very remarkable workmanship witnessed/done, only 213 days county jail time and minimal probation was our outcome.!!!
Thanks to Michael our family is as a whole again and are All free!!!
Words alone can Not thank this attorney for what he has given us all!!!
We will forever be thankful for the quality of service he provided and for what he has done and given us.

He may not have a soul because he's a ginger but he is truly the best lawyer I've ever had. I had an injunction case and Orange County and attorney Michael Barber was able to get the case dismissed without even having a hearing. I would definitely recommend attorney Michael Barber to anybody who is seeking excellent criminal defense or Junction related relief. His support staff is also excellent. His assistant Joseph Sutter was there to answer all of my questions and keep me informed. Umansky Law Firm is the best.

I contacted the the Umanksy law firm through email one morning before their hours of operation about my case. I was called back immediately and was asked to come in to personally to discuss the case.
Long story short some fool decided to break into my apartment and leave all the goodies for the cops to find . I wasn't there at the time of the break in so i just had a warrant for my arrest at the time, didnt know what my charges were either. But after meeting with Michael he told me my charges and what it would cost him to handle the case. I honestly think the price was very reasonable and worth it, especially since the case is dropped.
One of the main reasons I hired Michael is because of the great reviews , and the amount he has . So if you're reading this , hire him and you won't be disappointed! Especially after he tells you about the cases hes won this past year!
Hope I never have to hire him again , but I will without a doubt recommend him to anyone in need of help !

Michaels professional attitude and ability to handle my case was nothing short of excellent. His representation resulted in a dropping of all charges on a case that was weighting heavy on my mind. I can rest easy now Knowing that this matter is resolved. Thank You Michael. God Bless.

Michael Barber was amazing at getting my traffic ticket completely dropped. I was issued a careless driving ticket and the police wanted to press criminal charges against me, but Michael Barber was able to get my careless driving ticket dropped quickly and easily. If you're between a rock and a hard place and need someone to help get you out, hire this guy. He was incredibly patient and easy to talk to all while explaining the situation in laymen's terms.
