The Absolute Best!!

Let me start this review by saying that I chose Mr. Garagozlo based off of other reviews I read online. After getting a DUI along with 4 other citations, I was frantically searching for a good lawyer with plenty of experience. I found Mr. G. This man is awesomeeee!! Extremely professional, timely res...ponses, fair costs, always on top of everything..... He helped the outcome of my case much better than if I had chosen to take this on by myself. I recommend him to anyone in search of a Maryland lawyer who needs someone to pay close attention to their case.

Excellence

I was grateful to have Mr. Garagozlo defend me and could not have asked for a better lawyer! I admire his professionalism and expertise and also his ability to maintain such focus when I was in such distress. I would definitely recommend him as a lawyer in a heartbeat. At such a dire time in my li...fe after getting a DUI, I am so glad he was my attorney! Amy K. - Silver Spring, MD

Excellent Representation

Mr. Garagozlo guided me through the court process and explained potential outcomes. He was always timely and responsive to my inquiries and provided excellent representation with a good outcome. His rates are reasonable. I highly recommend his services.

Excellent!

Mr. garagozlo provided excellent representation for my DUI case. He calmly and expertly walked me through all the steps of the process, from beginning to end. He was very clear about the charges against me and possible outcomes. His rates were extremely fair. He knows the system and its workings very... well. I couldn't have wished for a better outcome! In addition, Mr. Garagozlo' calm, warm, unflappable manner was very comforting to me during this, unpleasant, anxiety ridden situation.

Wonderful attorney

A friend of mine recommended Michael to represent me in a car accident case that I was involved in which could have resulted in possible jail time. Michael was very reassuring and what's more he knows his way around the courtroom. In other words he is experienced and always kept me informed in a time...ly manner. He is kind and never condescending. I did not have to serve time and the outcome was much better than I could have hoped for. You will not go wrong utilizing the services of Mr. Garagozlo. I highly recommend him.
