Getting arrested for a DUI is a situation I never ever thought I would be in. I felt ashamed, afraid, and lost; I thought my life was over, and any future career or scholastic opportunities were out the window. I consulted and spoke to 4 different lawyers, then Michael called me back. Before I had even retained him, he and Lety had written a letter to the DMV requesting an earlier hearing regarding my license, that action alone assured me I was about to make the right decision. From the moment we spoke he immediately put me at ease, reassured me that this would not ruin my life, and instilled in me the confidence that no matter the outcome, I would be okay. For the past year every time I have spoken to Michael he has made me feel like a person, not just another case. He genuinely cares and inquires about my life and my goals and has wanted to do everything in his power to ensure I could meet them. Today I got a personal call from him, my case has been dismissed. An outcome I could have only dreamt of is now a reality. Getting arrested for a DUI is never a situation you want to find yourself in, and it is frightening. However, if you do find yourself there THE person to call is Michael. He cares, not just about your case, but about you. He is honest and direct, but always reassuring and kind. I can not express my gratitude enough to this team and to Michael.

I faced a domestic violence charge from what they call an 'active' victim who may have frustrated even the prosecutor's office. The cards were stacked against me, partly because I foolishly agreed to give a statement to the police and was (I learned five weeks later) decidedly more honest than the victim had been. I spent many hours researching and interviewing Tucson criminal defense attorneys and decided Michael was my strongest bet, chiefly because of his positive reviews here and what struck me as good negotiation skills. Additionally, a friend who is a Pima County Public Defender, and had collaborated with Mr Harwin in the past, confirmed he is an excellent criminal defense lawyer. Mr Harwin handled things efficiently, stayed ahead of the game, helped me avoid rookie mistakes, offered moral support along the way, and succeeded in navigating me to a sentence of probation with no jail time. I recommend him highly.

Michael Harwin has represented multiple family members of mine. Each time there were serious charges pending. Michael Harwin handled each case by analyzing the evidence, all potential defenses and his motion practice is second to none. Each time Michael achieved results that were far better than we expected. I recommend Michael Harwin's legal expertise to anyone who faces a criminal charge .

If you are looking for a great Criminal Defense Attorney, look no further! Michael Harwin and his defense team are top notch and the best in town. Michael and Scott Redmon saved my son from having a serious DUI offense and were able to reduce it to a misdemeanor charge. They are very knowledgeable and have a wealth of combined experience in their practice. The entire firm is very friendly and truly care about helping their clients reach the best outcome possible. I highly recommend Michael Harwin and his Law Firm.

I was currently living in Phoenix and attending college when one day I got an unexpected phone call that there was a warrant out for my arrest. I called home and told my mom the situation. She immodestly went to several lawyers all turned her down except Mr. Harwin. When I met with him he was very cool and calm but when he represented me he had high confidence and spoke very well. Mr. Harwin is very professional and his work ethic is incredible. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I'm currently still in school and can continue my Health care major because of Mr. Harwin. I will be forever grateful for him and his team!

Mr. Harwin took on a very difficult case for our us as our family member had more than one felony charge. Mr. Harwin successfully defended our family member with an extremely good result. Among the many things that impressed us about Mr. Harwin were his ability to relate and get comfortable with our family member and his full knowledge of all aspects of the situation. This included the police department, court processes and backup information that would be needed to put together a great defense. In addition, the long term result for our family member looks like it will be positive because Mr. Harwin was interested in more than just defending, he was interested in the well being of our family member. We would highly recommend Mr. Harwin.

Excellent representation! Asks all the questions, researches all the pertinent information and stands up, DEFENDS and speaks for the "accused". Very professional, personable and easy to talk to. We are very happy with Mr. Harwin and his capable staff, He handled our appeal very efficiently and with respect. The research he did and presented won our confidence and case. I highly recommend Mr. Harwin should you have the need for an EXCELLENT defense attorney.

Michael Harwin defended me in a case where I was facing down a potentially career-ending felony charge. All all stages of the process, from initial consultation to assisting me with having the final outcome set aside by a judge, Michael was outstanding and confidence-inspiring. He always made himself available for questions and updates. Set realistic expectations for procedures and outcome. Most importantly, he was able to get the initial charge reduced down to a reasonable (misdemeanor) outcome that allowed me to continue practicing in my profession.

As someone who has never had to deal with legal issues before, having a charge against me was anxiety-inducing to say the least. When I was confused by the legal process, Michael broke it down to plain English. He returned calls and messaged back when I needed guidance; he would even call on a Friday night with an update so I didn’t have to worry over the week-end (he did this several times, in fact). Lety, the office manager, was always available to answer questions with kindness and knowledge. If she didn't know the answer, she did the research and promptly got back with me. Michael is professional and compassionate. His ethics and integrity are first-rate. He was there to support not only me, but my family as well. I am so happy with the outcome of my case. I was originally charged with a felony, and Michael got it reduced to a misdemeanor I would recommend Michael to anyone I know.

In 2013, I was charged with an extreme DUI, which came with multiple felony charges. I met with several different lawyers before I settled on and retained, Michael Harwin. He's direct, honest, and is very knowledgeable with DUI cases. He is well respected throughout the judicial system, by fellow Lawyers, Prosecutors and Judges. Mr. Harwin and his office personnel were very professional, respectful, and treated me with dignity through the entire process. They always kept me well informed and stayed in constant contact with me, answering any questions or worries that I had, immediately. The outcome of my case was better than I had thought possible and I'm very pleased with the end result. This has been a humiliating and humbling experience, without the assistance of the Harwin team, it could have ruined my life. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Harwin, Mr. Redmon, Lety Figueroa, and the entire office staff for helping me through the single most difficult time of my life and for making my second chance even possible.
