Expert DUI Lawyer

When you are in DUI distress and physical pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. Michael Garagozlo explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to... be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Michael made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. Michael was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.

I won

Michael represented me in court for my case and I received the best possible favorable outcome in my favor, and he had a lot to do with it. He is very responsive and a great value for your money. I highly recommend him.

Great Lawyer

I was in a situation where I received a DUI, from beginning to end Michael has assisted me throughout the entire process. He also helped calm my nerves because i have never been in a situation like this before. Michael is very honest and he tells you like it is, he does not tell you what you want to ...hear. That is very special in a lot of attorneys seeing that some of them are liars, but Michael is not like most. I am grateful to have hired Michael he is as prepared, brilliant, and intelligent as they come. I will recommend Michael for any case that he specializes in.

He is Amazing!!

Getting a DUI is one of the scariest things that happened to me and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help with this! He was so professional and patient with me. I was constantly updated with any information that he had and would be reminded of all my important dates. I knew he was going t...o do everything he could so that I can get the best outcome from this horrific situation. I was truly blessed in this case! I definitely recommend Michael to everyone I know!

Great lawyer!

He explained all of our options. He kept my husband out of jail. He was honest and open. He is affordable. We felt very confident in his expertise. Very down to earth, great demeanor. Got a better outcome from the case that we expected. Would recommend him to everyone. He advised us but wasn'...t demanding and we felt like we were in good hands and after the outcome, there was no doubt, he is amazing.
