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.

Good guy, good service

After getting arrested for a DUI I was not at peak spirits to say the least. I spoke with several attorneys and Mike felt the least like a salesman and the most like a guy who was just going to level with me and get me the best deal possible. Responsiveness is a big issue for me, and Mike always resp...onded to emails/calls/texts in a timely manner. Ultimately, I was able to walk away with a PBJ on a lesser charge and nothing against my driving record, and only 6 months of unsupervised probation. If you want someone who isn't going to blow smoke and will give you good service for a fair rate, go with Mike.

Best representation you could ask for.

My experience with Michael Garagozlo could not have been better. He listened to my concerns, was clear on where I stood, provided realistic expectations, and communicated with me throughout. His rates were very fair and reasonable. I was facing serious charges with serious consequences. He is very fa...miliar with the court and guided me through the process; putting me at easy and resulting the best possible outcome. Thank you Mike! If you need legal assistance, this is the attorney you've been looking for.
