DUI case

Just finished my court today and all hands down to Mr. Garagozlo. I was expecting to get a DUI record and suspension of 12 months on my DL due to a refusal of Breathalyzer and pay a whole lot of fees but thankfully my brother in law recommended me this man. He is a life saver. DUI case dropped and ...was only charge with refusal in VA. i don't live in VA so suspension in of my DL in there wasn't a big of a deal. This was a big win today. Thank you Mr. Garagozlo

Above and beyond

If you're in trouble for a DUI / DWI look no further, this man will do absolutely everything in his power to help you get out with the minimum consequence if any. He is truly like a magician, he's pasionate about his work and cases and knows his stuff back and forth. We thank God everyday that we fou...nd him and his work was admirable. Highly highly recommended.

Expert Representation

If you are looking for legal representation for a DUI case in Montgomery County, I highly recommend Michael Garagozlo. I was in a panic after my arrest, which involved a collision and multiple charges. Mike was empathetic, compassionate, and honest; he explained my options and outlined the probable... outcome. He recommended several immediate courses of action (alcohol education classes, community service), all of which helped my case. Throughout the process he was very responsive. He promptly answered every email, text, or phone call, usually within 15 minutes. Most importantly, he was very familiar with the Montgomery County justice system. He has established connections with the prosecuting attorneys and is very familiar with the judges who try DUI cases in Montgomery County. I believe that his expert knowledge and reputation were largely responsible for the positive outcome in my case—probation before judgement on a reduced charge, with no jail time, no supervision, no fines, and no points. If you have been arrested for DUI, call Michael Garagozlo!

Better then expected

He was highly rated but it was my first time dealing with this case so I had low expectations for myself. I got a great result so I am happy but really even if it didn't go my way the lawyer was 5 stars.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
