These guys are amazing attorneys. He is on the news practically more than the weatherman, that tells you something. When you want to make a statement this is who you choose.

Not only is this man fighting for our rights in the State House of Representatives. Michael Gottlieb is an amazing attorney who brings with him understanding of state and federal laws. But he should be one of your first choices for Appeals Mike and his partner are two amazing attorneys, and hopefully Mike will be Florida's future governor.

Rather go with a public defender he's the worst he doesn't try to fight for you he just wants money I'm on pre-trial release and I have diabetes I have to call my pre-trial officer before I can go to the hospital I fell out my blood sugar was too high and my family had to take me he didn't even bring that up in court so I can get a open schedule on my girlfriend's case he said there's no way she can her pre-trial reinstated because she cut her band off Michael Weinstein (an awesome lawyer) took over in 2 weeks got her reinstated (Michael Gottlieb sucks)

Michael Gottlieb and his partner Hilliard Moldof are two of the best attorneys in South Florida, and probably the state. I highly recommend both of them. I am being serious these guys are what legends are made of. They will help you with any legal problem you have. I rarely give five stars, but these guys are the best.

Talked about money to get me off the phone without listening to any facts or explaining both negative and/or positive out comes. Very polite and great reviews but seems either choosey or not willing to explain and or take on new risk protection laws. He just lost 5 g’s because most reviews seemed ok. Too bad. If you come accross his name, move on. Politeness doesn’t mean he wasn’t condescending.

I hired Michael Gottlieb to represent me on a case that involved audio evidence tampering and attorney intimidation.

In my first meeting with Michael I showed him a preliminary Audio Forensic report that showed irregularities in the audio evidence. I then explained that the two attorneys I currently had refused to allow me to hire the Forensic Expert to produce the full report. I told Michael that I was on the phone with one of my attorneys when the prosecutor called him to threaten him with loss of access to the Broward County Prosecutors office if he continued to ask questions about actions the prosecutor took in my case.

Michael said he witnessed a lot of unethical and illegal activity by Broward prosecutors and would not be intimidated. I hired Michael and told him I needed him to handle the audio file.

He did nothing. He ignored all my requests, verbally and in writing, to hire the forensic specialist.

Seven months later I hired the audio forensic specialist that did the preliminary report without him. After the report was completed I had a copy sent to Michael and requested a conference call with the Forensic Specialist. The report highlighted many issues which would have invalidated the evidence and included a audio sample in which demonstrated the “recording stops and restarts”. It was very obvious that portions of the conversation were missing.

Michael listened to the forensic specialist and then concluded there was nothing he could do with the information. He complained about the quality of the forensic specialist; so, I hired a second forensic specialist.

The second forensic specialist concluded “I have found several anomalies interrupting audio recording, this could have very well led to some conversation as not being recorded or likely removed through dub editing.” Michael refused to speak to this second forensic specialist.

I fired Michael for refusing to defend me. One week after replacing Michael with a new attorney I received a text from the new attorney informing me that Michael Gottlieb just warned him to “stay away from the audio, because the prosecutor is angry that I am talking about it.”

Fast forward, without Michael Gottlieb, a motion was filed and a judge threw out the recorded evidence after the same forensic expert that Michael complained about, demonstrated that 15 seconds of conversation were missing and portions of remaining conversations were now blank. The prosecutor was so impressed my forensic expert that he asked for his business card and said that he would use him in the future.

The judge then dismissed the felony charge. He then gave me a withheld of adjudication on the misdemeanor. No jail, no probation, and a sealed record.

If I did not hire additional attorneys to do Michael Gottlieb’s job, there would have been no Forensic report, and I would have eventually been forced to accept a plea deal which would have resulted in a felony conviction.

I highly recommend Michael Gottlieb. He is the most professional and sufficient lawyer I ever met and retained. He is also honest and knowledgeable. This guy really knows his law and you will not be disappointed when he is fighting for you. He listens and let's you know what's the possibility. He's been my lawyer for 1 full year and the outcomes are mind blowing. I am happy. He have a great and hard working team!!

Horrible lawyer, im suprised he is still in practice. I used him for my brother, he didn't fight and gave my brother bad consultation. I also know several other people who retained his Council years after my brother and he takes clients money, and drop them

I sought the services of Michael A Gottlieb to  file a motion for early termination of house arrest. Being the alleged victim and the office of probation both opposed, the prosecutor vehemently fought against my motion. Despite fierce opposition, Mr. Gottlieb was successful in getting my motion granted. Is he a good attorney? No...  He's f***ing great!
#WINNING!

Also, a special thank you to his awesome legal secretary Rene. She is great and always kept me in the loop.

In 2014 I hired Mr Gottlieb to defend me in a Felony DUI case, I had originally hired another attorney of which eneded up being a joke telling me to go ahead and except the FIRST time felony because he assumed I had really drove drunk. I fired him and Mr Gottlied was gracious enough to take on my case and within one week took it from a felony to a misdemeanor and it took him some time however he DEFENDED me to HELL and back and as of today 09/2016 he had my case DROPPED! This man and his legal secretary Rene is the BEST there is in the STATE of Florida. YOU can NOT go wrong with this Law Office for ANYTHING. Again I wanna say thank YOU Mr. Michael Gottlieb and Rene (Legal SUPER_SECRETARY!!!

We all should never have to hire a Lawyer, unfortunately the unexpected can happen and thankfully an attorney like Michael is there. Finding a Reliable, Trustworthy & Self Motivated Attorney is harder then most can imagine. Coming off a credible reputation and impressive presentation we swiftly hired Mr. Gottlieb for our case. Michael fought hard for us for 3 years and never lost interest in our safety. We are glad we choose him and his team. Outstanding service matched by Creative tactics, Highly highly Recomended
