Extremely helpful and friendly. Great staff and just the best listeners. Thanks for everything guys!

Not only did he win (with what seemed like ease) but you could tell that he genuinely cared about my life. He handled it all with diligence and honor. This win was a big deal. Thank you to all of you at the Law Offices of Michael Harwin!

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 was a lifesaver for our family member. He had an in depth knowledge of all aspects of this difficult case including the court processes and all documentation that would be required to put together a great defense. The outcome was very positive. In addition, he made a special effort to understand and work with our family member showing that he not only defends, he cares. We highly recommend Mr. Harwin.

Michael Harwin defended me in a case where I was facing down a potentially career-ending 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 outcome that allowed me to continue practicing in my profession.

Scott Redmon (Mr Harwin's associate) assisted me thoroughly throughout the intricate and distressing process of being charged and convicted of a DUI. With AZ's tough mandatory minimum laws, there is only so much any attorney can do, especially if the blood alcohol reading is high. Through a plea he was able to have charges reduced and have others from the same traffic stop dismissed. As a former highly esteemed prosecutor, he knows the ins and outs of the local court/legal system as well as the people. He got our case before a judge who is deemed the most lenient. He always returned emails or calls in a matter of hours or less, no matter how urgent or trivial the matter-- something busy attorneys aren't typically good at. Even though our contract has expired and this ordeal is largely behind me, he still answers any questions and addresses concerns promptly. His a calm demeanor helped significantly to put me at ease in during the proceedings. If you need defense, I doubt you'll find any that surpasses his.

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.

Mr. Harwin and his office staff have been a huge support and the up-most professionals when dealing with legal issues. Mr. Harwin has been a great communicator and has always made himself and staff available to talk with and discuss legal and personal events. I would highly recommend Mr. Harwin and his staff to be your direct and most important console.

Michael Harwin is a human being in the truest sense of the word. He hears what you have to say. Michael, took the information I gave him and translated it into meaningful actions to take care of the issues I had. He truly represented my situation in a most positive light.

I’ve known Michael for more than 20 years. All of my contacts with him have been honest, caring, and the best counsel for the long term. He has always exemplified his profession.

Micheal puts in whatever time and effort is required to serve his clients to their best ends.
I find his approach to his commitments refreshing and highly effective.

I highly recommend Michael if you want straight talk and strong representation. I continue to trust him with any legal issues that arise; you can too.

Good Lawyers, easy to access downtown offices with "on site" parking.

I had moved out of state when I found out that I had several charges against me. I knew I needed an attorney to help me through this process and after my first phone call with Michael Harwin, I knew he was the perfect one. He immediately took interest in my personal life and reassured me that he was aware of the importance of keeping a clean reputation. This was my first time hiring an attorney and I can honestly say that I was terrified. While being extremely knowledgeable about the law, Michael is also very friendly and easy to talk to. I trusted Michael Harwin with my life and he saved it. I was cleared of all charges thanks to this fantastic attorney and his wonderful assistant, Lety. If you are in need of a confident and personable attorney, Mr. Harwin has my highest recommendation!

I hired Michael Harwin 9 months ago, without him the outcome of my case would have been detrimental. Hiring Mr. Harwin was the best decision made during this very difficult time. He is extremely knowledgeable and has experience in a wide variety of different cases. He was very honest with me and informative of the various possible situations. He also knew how to handle every obstacle quickly and efficiently. It has been an honor to have met him and I could not have asked to be represented by someone more respectable than him. I hold his professionalism and diligence in the highest regard. If you are in need of a defense attorney look no further than Mr. Harwin.

Excellent practice of law. Truly grateful for Mr. Harwin and his firm for their care and dedication for their client’s cases. This firm knows how to win cases at an excellent performance. Any past and future clients are in great hands!

If you have a U of A student who got in trouble, this is the guy you want to defend your child. When my college kid made a bad choice, he did an amazing job of calming me down and reassuring me that he was going to do his best to help him. He spoke to my son in the matter that my son could relate to immediately. From our first conversation, we knew immediately how much this attorney cared for U of A students and how passionate he was about helping them overcome the obstacles they were facing. His communication is excellent, and he let me know that over the next four years, whenever my son was in trouble, he would be there to help. We live hundreds of miles from the campus, but having Michael in our corner makes me feel almost feel like my son has another parent nearby in times of trouble. Don’t hesitate to give him a call if you need an awesome attorney on your side!

I had a legal problem that could have kept me up at night for months... but I retained the law offices of Michael Harwin. Michael explained the process and gave me the perspective so that I was able to live a calm and worry free life. He worked on my case and I had complete confidence in him. The entire office was there for me— Michael, Scott & Lety. But most importantly, Michael wins his cases! I would confidently turn to Michael for any future legal issues.

Michael Harwin was very professional representing my case, was extremely knowledgeable with the law therefore he was able to win. A case that was challenging at best. I highly recommend him.

I've known Mike for a long time and i want to heartily endorse him as a lawyer and a person who can help you through difficult times and get the right results.
He is smart, has top-notch legal skills, knows the system and people in it, and has excellent judgement.
Mike takes a personal interest in his clients and takes the time to understand the situation on a personal level and that means a lot when you're trying navigate a very stressful, confusing legal system.
And when the pressure is really on it's been a huge help to be able to reach out to Mike, even at odd hours, and get informed, strong advice.
It really means a lot and I'll Never forget the critical support Mike has offered...
And with all this service and attention I've always felt Mike's billing was more than fair and in my experience that doesn't always happen.
I can't remember the last time i wrote a review but with Mike it was something I really wanted to do...he definitely deserves it....

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

I visited with several lawyers while trying to decide who to select to represent me, and Michael's office struck me as the one who seemed to listen the best, and work with the most integrity.

Michael's office made a difficult situation exponentially easier to deal with. From the first appointment to the sentencing hearing, Michael's office kept me abreast of all the developments in the case and always answered any questions promptly. The whole office did an incredible job listening to what my disposition was regarding my incident, and truly providing representation of my disposition to the court. In addition, they provided council that helped me course correct, and utilize this incident as a learning experience to put myself on a better track going forward. It was apparent that they cared about me as a person and not just about fulfilling their contractual obligations for legal representation.

Scott Redmon, who primarily worked my case, negotiated relentlessly with the prosecutor over the course of several months. Utilizing proof I provided of ongoing mitigating actions, Scott was able to achieve a plea deal that was much better than I anticipated was possible. I have no reservations recommending Michael's office to anyone needing legal representation.

As a retired Law Enforcement official I am keenly aware, through my years of experience with the Washington DC courts and attorneys, of the undisputed value of having a defense attorney that was a former prosecutor. When my son ran afoul of the law in Tucson, I found the website of Michael Harwin and I'm very glad I did. Both Michael and his associate Scott Redmon are former DUI/DWI prosecutors in Tucson and could not have been more professional and knowledgeable. You're not just another case file to them, you're treated as an actual human that needs help. And that extends to their front office personnel who go above and beyond what is required of their job. Everyone in the Michael Harwin office works hard to arrive at the best outcome available for your case. They did for us and I'm sure they will for you.

After my son met with the Public Defender assigned to his case, I knew I needed to find him an attorney who would listen, investigate and DEFEND. He had been accused of a felony and was facing jail time and driver license suspension. Mr. Harwin left no stone unturned in investigating his charges, and always offered an explanation of what he was doing and why. He was able to negotiate amendments to the original plea bargain, and when it was time to decide on whether to go to trial or take the plea, his clear description of the ramifications of both choices caused my son to reconsider his original plan. At the sentencing hearing he presented a powerful plea to the judge, which resulted in the felony being reduced to a misdemeanor, no jail time and no license suspension.
Not only is Mr. Harwin an outstanding attorney, but he’s also a compassionate, understanding and just plain decent human being. While my son was his client it became clear to him that he needed some help with some personal issues. During his treatment Mr. Harwin continued to communicate with my family, and went before the judge twice to ask for a continuance. I truly appreciated his support and encouragement during this time, and also the prompt, courteous and efficient service we received from everyone at the Law Offices of Michael Harwin.

AN ATTORNEY WRTH INTEGRITY! When I first hired Michael Harwin he was up front with me about the chances with my case. I had multiple charges, many of which Michael was able to get dismissed or lessened, and I served minimal jail time and paid reduced fines. On a case that was lost with an incompetent attorney I originally hired, Mr Harwin appealed it over and over again with new and creative strategies each time for as long as I was willing to fight it. When all my legal troubles were finally resolved Mr Harwin refunded the unused portion of my retainer! WOW! He is a genius in the courtroom and always returns phone calls. It is now 19 years later and I touch base with Mr Harwin now and then just to let him know I'm doing well. He is always genuinely happy to hear from me and an absolute pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend him as a brilliant attorney and an outstanding human being!

I came to Mr. Harwin after my 2nd DUI in 7 years. This mistake I made could have had a severe impact on my family, job, etc. After I met with Mr. Harwin I had my first decent nights sleep since the incident. I remember so vividly him telling me " Listen Brian you need to go back to work sign up some new clients and let us handle it I GOT IT". He arranged my counseling to be handled prior to my arraignment. He instilled confidence from the initial conversation on the phone. He was also honest about who he thought was the best in town besides him. My outcome was more than satisfactory and kept my family and job more than intact and I would be shocked if there is someone better than Mr. Harwin. I made a mistake and Michael recognized I was a good person who had a severe lapse in judgment. Thank you Michael for all you have done.

I am a career prosecutor in Los Angeles and turned to Michael Harwin when my wife was accused of wrongdoing while visiting Arizona. Michael was able to get justice for her and right this terrible wrong. He communicated well with us throughout this stressful matter and was a passionate advocate for justice.

If you're looking for a defense lawyer, you may feel like you're up against a wall (even if you haven't done anything wrong!). I certainly know I did. Being that I'm typically not involved with the legal system, I had my fears. All you need to do is Google "can a detective lie to a suspect" to see what kind of tactics can be used against you once you are considered a "suspect".

And then I called Mr. Michael Harwin. Unlike the stereotypical view that people have about lawyers, Michael is a real person. He cares about people. He cared about helping me and my family. And although you may be going through some tough times, he's got an incredible sense of humor which allows you to step back and laugh at the pain (if you choose to do so). And he gives hope.

I didn't like the situation I was put in, but Michael was there every step of the way to encourage me, and eventually helped me get out of the situation.

If you're looking for a real advocate who will sit down and truly understand your situation, and who will provide you with logical, solid legal advice, Michael is your guy.

My son was charged with Criminal Damage resulting from an automobile accident. Allegations related to drug use were involved. I was asked for help in hiring an attorney. Unfortunately I live out of state and have no familiarity with Tucson lawyers. I do however have a law degree and know what to look for and what questions to ask when hiring an attorney.

Three critical areas immediately come to mind - competence, integrity and communications. The last, communications, was crucial due to the long distance relationship about to be started. Michael excels in all three and also has a fourth quality which serves his clients well - compassion! Prior to speaking with him, I checked Michael's rating in Martindale Hubbel to see what his peer group thought of him. He has an exemplary rating.

With that information in hand, I called and spoke with him. He had none of the arrogance often found in highly rated attorneys. Quite the opposite. He was gracious, engaging and focused on the problem at hand. After our conversation, I was convinced that Michael was the best choice in Tucson to handle my son's case. Just to be sure, two other criminal defense were also interviewed.

Michael and his staff thoroughly investigated the charges and the evidence. If found guilty, my son faced a possible multi-year sentence. Rather than go to trial, Michael was able to negotiate a deal with the District Attorney resulting in a 6 month sentence for which my son was incarcerated for about 3 months. Our family viewed this outcome as a major success, a definite win!

Remember that fourth quality I mentioned earlier, compassion? That played a significant role in the process. My son surrendered himself and was taken into custody 2 months prior to his sentencing hearing. During that time, aside from communicating with the family, he made a special effort to provide guidance to my son's spouse who had no one else to turn to. That showed me a lot. I am convinced without a doubt that Michael was the best choice.

While I normally refrain from granting endorsements, I happily make an exception in this case. If you, or a loved one, find yourself in need of legal counsel, I heartily recommend Michael Harwin.

I was falsely accused of a DUI driving home one evening, I thought my life had ended, I was in a panic and could not believe some of the things the officer was saying about me, I was treated like a convicted criminal. The next morning I contacted one of Tucson's well known and highly experienced attorneys, Michael Harwin. My anxiety level was off the charts, I was the sole support of two children and carried a license that could be put into jeopardy by the accusation alone.
Mr. Harwin treated me with respect, told me he would fight for my rights. I developed a deep sense of peace of mind and trust after my first meeting with Mr. Harwin. He then went to work for me to prove my innocence. He was mindful of the judicial protocols and showed respect for the courts, judges and law enforcement agencies, but never intimidated by them. Mr. Harwin is a deeply committed attorney, he has heart and truly cares about his clients. He was patient with my endless parade of questions and fears of the unknown, he walked me through every challenge that was put in front of us, he is fearless, intelligent, and a deep thinker, someone you want in your corner if the situation arises.
I was found NOT GUILTY on all charges, thank you for giving me back my life. Tucson is truly blessed to have such a highly experienced attorney.. Mr. Michael Harwin.

Mr. Harwin understood my situation and worked as a coach throughout to guide me through what became an eighteen month ordeal of motions, hearings, and eventually trial. He expertly informed and eased not only my questions and fears but those of my fiance in this matter. Complications of my DUI charge would impact my career, child custody, and personal well-being, which Mr. Harwin calmly dissected and addressed. With him at the helm, I was found not guilty of all charges via trial.

Mr. Harwin's staff, associates, investigators and expert witnesses were all very professional and an integral part of my defense. Email, phone, and in person conversations kept me aware of key events, whether I needed to be present, and helped prepare me each step of the way.

I would recommend Mr. Harwin for any legal matter within his realm of expertise based on my experiences with him and his network of professional acquaintances.

While I never wanted to go to trial, it turned out to be an eye-opening and gratifying experience. Mr. Harwin is an impressive legal strategist and knows the Pima court system, prosecutors and bench well, but more importantly can prepare the client for the experiences that a DUI charge and trial can bring.
