WHERE TO BEGIN! Mr. Michael Gottlieb. Godsend, Super Hero disguised as an attorney. This man is someone I was referred to not only as the best defense attorney there is, but an awesome human being. His approach is efficient, compassionate, and realistic. He gathered the facts quickly, asked the right questions, and then the magic happened. During the pandemic, I was faced with charges that could have impacted my entire life, on all fronts- personally, professionally, with my family- you name it. I was DOOMED. I was lost. I didn’t know how to navigate, as this is something I had never experienced before, I was not a “criminal”. As soon as we found Mr. Gottlieb, we felt hopeful that everything was going to be okay. Not only did he exercise empathy, to help ease me through this process, but his strategy was that of pure ethical genius. I am so grateful for this man. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. Feeling lost? Gottlieb is your person!

Shortly after my divorce was when I needed Mr. Gottlieb's services. The reason is not really the point, but the fact that he did a great job on my case is why I am here. I am confident that I hired one of the best lawyers in Florida, and the result proves that. I was told he could get me a great deal, but also that he is a great trial attorney. So if the case went in that direction I would have no worries. I can not say enough about how happy I am with the decision I made to hire Mr. Gottlieb, and still I recommend to anyone with a legal problem looming, no matter how small it is. To hire Michael Gottlieb as their attorney. I am sure they will be as happy with the service he provides as I was. Thank you and your firm for everything you did for me, and I will continue to tell anyone I can how great of an attorney that you are.

Today, I would like to share the great experience I had with this lawyer. Michael Gottlieb represented me during a case, and he fought for me from day one. He was always quick to get back to me, right there to fix any problem that arose, and I could not ask for a better outcome. When people say to you... "Make sure you get yourself a good lawyer." Well Mr. Gottlieb is that lawyer. thank you and everyone in your firm for working to get the great result you did.

Hired Attorney Michael Gottlieb

My friend got into a horrible accident. A man died. She was later charged with DUI manslaughter. It was truly a tragedy for her, her family and of course for the family of the person who died. She had no prior criminal history and a blood alcohol level of .08. The State offered prison time. Forcing a trial. Today's she's free. Happily married with children and living a beautiful life. All due to six years of hard work that Mr Gottlieb put in. He was magical in trial. He owned the courtroom and witnesses and truly proved her innocence. I know the case still affects her to this day. She's very sad that someone died. But she's very happy in her decision to hire Mr. Gottlieb. He truly saved her life and gave her a second chance.

My wife and I got into an argument which turned into the police showing up. I was charged with a count of domestic violence. Mr. Gottlieb worked us. We were struggling financially and I was drinking too much. Because of my job, if any of this ended up surfacing to the public domain. I would have lost my job. A friend from work had a similar problem a few years before, he referred me to Mike. When I called he had me come right in for a consultation. We spoke about what happened that night, and I hired him. This guy really knew what he was talking about. Everything he told me he could do in that consultation, he did. I would never use anyone other than him in the future. Within a month, charges were dropped and I was living with my wife and we remain together, happy to this day. Thank You Mr. Gottlieb you saved my marriage and my career.

I never I never actually go online and post reviews of how my interaction with a business went, but this was something that was so amazing I couldn't believe it. Mr. Gottlieb fought my keys for 3 and 1/2 years before he took it to trial, and he was successful by finding me not guilty on three charges that would have sent me to prison for the rest of my life. I was 19 years old and not to talk about the facts of the case but I didn't do it, and he believed me. He was the only person that did. He stopped an Injustice from happening. and when I told him the day we beat well the day he won in trial, I said to him you must get up every day, look in the mirror, point at yourself, and say "Your Awesome" . He said to me no I'm not this is just what I do. So I said "You are awesome" I would recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
