Getting in contact with a good attorney

Never in my life before had I even had any experience with a lawyer, but when I walked into Michael’s office. I knew he was going to take good care of me. First thing he did when I sat down with all my police report papers and charges was go over it, he throughly went over every single detail in the ...reports that I had gotten the night before when I was arrested. It was sticky situation. But nonetheless Michael took the challenges with my case head on, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have done it. I truly believe that Michael got the best outcome in my case. He knows very well how to navigate our local court system and he does it well. As much as I liked seeing and talking to Michael about my situation/case, I do hope to never have to have him represent me in this manner ever again… - I made a terrible mistake and I’m very disappointed in my actions that led me having to seek an attorney. But I’ll never regret getting in contact with G & G Legal, not only did they represent me in the best way, but they have also helped me get in contact with a lot of resources/courses and classes that help and nudge you to a better straighter path.

AAA+ Prime Attorney

Attorney Michael Garagozlo is like prime real estate. He has been my attorney since mid-1990 and is now my adult children's attorney. We highly recommend him as we have experience beyond a shadow of a doubt he performs and give you the finest representation in court. He gives your case the utmost a...ttention and details starting at ground zero. He stays abreast of all the ever-changing and current laws governing criminal defense, car accidents, and medical malpractice. With Attorney Garagozlo defending you, you can sleep well at night. He is confident in what he can deliver for his clients, and if it is not in his purview, he tells you that he can not help you. He is an honest attorney that you can depend on and trust.

Someone who cares about you and is on your side

Mr. Garagozlo represented me for a case. I was terrified and facing jail time. He was amazing, I felt confident in his work, he guided me through the process, and really showed me that he cared about the outcome. I would recommend anyone to him if they need assistance. He is a hardworking, caring, fr...iendly, and calming presence to be around and I am extremely happy that he worked with me, I couldn't have gotten a better outcome and I couldn't have had a better person to represent me! Thank you G&G

Made a stressful moment in life into an easier one.

Had a DUI case happen at a very trying time; Michael was honest and straight-forward on what to expect and was able to get me a very great outcome. He was quick to guide tp things that would help secure a better outcome and on the day of the hearing was thinking of even more ways to sweeten the outco...me. 10/10 never plan on never needing his services again lol but would recommend and hire again in a heartbeat. He honestly made the situation a lot easier to manage and helped me feel a lot more confident through the process. Can't recommend him enough!

Criminal Case

For those that only want to read a sentence or two... Michael G is a fantastic lawyer that I would recommend to anyone that may need his services. I was in a situation where I was being accused of a number of things that simply were not true. I sat down to discuss my case with Michael G in his office... and knew within a few minutes that I was going to use him to represent me. I have a clean record and the charges against me caused a great deal of stress. After talking to Michael G for the first time I was able to relax a little bit and felt as if someone was on my side. I was told what the ideal outcome would be and what all the potential outcomes were with pros and cons for each. Michael G was able to get a not guilty verdict on all 3 charges. Thank you Michael for your expertise and guidance during this stressful time and I would recommend to anyone in a similar situation.
