Hero

Michael Garagozlo was critical in my DUI case. Terrible incident took place and thanks to his brilliance, preparedness, and ambition I got an outcome I couldn't be happier with. The result wasn't just favorable, his outstanding work resulted in what feels like a miracle. Michael was comforting and kn...owledgeable during the entire process, but most of all he was available at all times with prompt emails, texts, calls, etc that went above and beyond anything I could've asked for. I'll forever be grateful to have had him as an attorney and this entire experience has grown me into a better man. For more specifics: I got a DUI double the legal limit with many other traffic infractions. Michael returned my call immediately and invited me for a consultation. I was immediately impressed with his confidence, experience, and comfort and agreed to hire him. He gave me advice and pushed me to be proactive about getting the most favorable outcome available. He urged me to get an interlock device installed on my car before court and had a discount for the installation, helped me enroll in education classes to get them done before a judge would issue it, and pushed me to complete a substantial amount of community service so when the hearing rolled around the judge would see I've already completed most of what would be court ordered and could enter an incredibly favorable plea. He was able to get me a PBJ on the DUI with minimal probation requirements, freedom to travel, no supervision, only 1 point from another traffic offense, and a mere ~$250 fine with all the other charges null pros.

Right Person for the Job

I would recommend everyone to this law firm as Michael Gargozola was with me with every step of the way. From the day I was charged for speeding I had contacted him and he made me feel secure of the case and explain all the possible scenarios of what can happen so that I wouldn't be going to court in... the dark. He was easy to reach, I didn't had to deal with automated call systems and other assistants to get an update for the case. Long story short the charges were dropped and I am really grateful to him for working with me.

First Time DUI/DWI

Mr. Michael Garagozlo was my attorney for DUI and DWI charges (and others including speeding) in Montgomery County, MD in 2017. He is very knowledgeable and responds to all of my emails and calls. I would highly recommend Mike.

G&G is an excellent choice!

Mike handled by case with what I called "concierge service". He provided clear advice and directives and set me as ease from day one. We had an excellent result in my reckless driving case that practically made it like nothing ever happened. If you want piece of mind and an experienced representative..., please hire Mike and G&G!

Look no further, this is your guy

I hired Mike immediately after my free consultation because of his proven track record, as illustrated by his excellent reviews on this site. My charges included DUI, DWI, speeding (60 in a 40), and negligent driving, and I had no prior DUI/DWI-related offenses. My punishment as a result of the reduc...ed charges (DWI and negligent driving) was a fine and one point on my driving record. Because of Mike's representation today, I was able to walk out of the courtroom with Probation Before Judgment. Without Michael Garagozlo's legal expertise, I would not be writing this review in the comfort of my home.
