"Most of Michael’s reviews talk about how caring and compassionate he is—and honestly, you don’t fully understand that until you meet and work with him yourself. I felt exactly what those reviewers described, and I want to say the same even though it’s already been said so many times—and every single one of those reviews is spot on. I can’t say enough good things about Michael. He’s not only at the top of his game, but also incredibly resourceful, kind, and truly caring. From the very beginning, he had a clear plan, and by the end, everything came together just like he said it would. He took the time to understand my situation and explained everything in a way that made sense. He and Lety answered all my questions—no matter how small—and I always felt like I was in the best hands."

"I can’t thank The Harwin Law Group enough for their representation and support throughout this stressful process.  Don’t think I could’ve had better representation if I was a member of their family. I am so grateful for their care of me and my case. Both Michael and Lety were always responsive to my needs and requests, Mr. Harwin gave tremendous legal guidance in navigating a system I was largely unfamiliar with. Above all, I always felt they sincerely cared about me and empathized with the circumstances of my case. Highly recommend this professional and kind law firm!!"

"I cannot recommend Michael Harwin highly enough! My consultation with him was nothing short of impeccable. From the moment we spoke, I felt completely at ease there was no rush, and he took the time to gather more information than I could have ever imagined. His thorough approach made a world of difference in navigating our difficult situation. What stood out the most was his honesty, which was absolutely invaluable and priceless. It’s rare to find someone so knowledgeable, genuine, and ethical in this field. He truly understands the intricacies of criminal defense and handled our situation with the utmost professionalism during our consultation. While I hope we never find ourselves in need of an attorney again, if we do, Michael Harwin will be the ONLY ONE I call for the rest of my life. Thank you for your exceptional service sir! -Christina"
