Michael Garagozlo is highly recommended!

Michael Garagozlo provided me with excellent representation. He was thorough, sensitive, and responsive to my legal and personal needs. Michael walked me through the legal procedures I was faced with, and because of his legal experience, he was able to set my anxiety at ease when informing me how he ...was going to help minimize my exposure to legal penalties. It was clear, Micheal is well known in the court room and has daily working relationships with the judges, and prosecutors. His analysis at the beginning of my legal process ended up spot on. I was able to avoid conviction due to Michael Garagozlo's legal representation.

Vigilant defense when needed

I am an attorney myself so I have a high standard when it comes to legal services. Michael has an impeccable understanding of the law and practical experience of Montgomery County and the Maryland judicial system. He helped me immensely by reducing a serious charge down to no points. His demeanor and... professionalism was unrivaled. I would recommend him highly without any reservation or qualification.

DUI MoCo

Mr. Garagozlo was nothing short of professional and courteous during our experience together. I committed a DUI offense (0.10) in Montgomery County and was truly struck down by the whole ordeal. Mr. Garagozlo was very comforting, responsive, and sympathetic to the matter and was very knowledgeable on... the circumstances of my case. If you are looking for a great lawyer who will actively respond and communicate, Mr. Garagozlo is the lawyer you want to represent you. His guidance, positivity, and willingness to obtain the best outcome for his clients under stressful circumstances are top quality. The outcome for my case was very positive considering I had a pretty tough judge and prosecuting attorney but Mr. Garagozlo was able to obtain a PBJ for which I am truly grateful.

Good Lawyer at a Reasonable Price

A good lawyer at a reasonable price point. Michael knows how to approach your case from the perspective of minimizing the damage, and has a good relationship with the system in order to get a favorable result. Ultimately you have already made some choices that will build or break much of the case... against you. Michael is the guy you want to review those choices and all the circumstances involved to make sure you are positioned going into court to get the best outcome. He's a straight-forward guy. He'll stay mostly positive about the case, without any scare tactics you'll get from other lawyers, but he'll also tell you the truth about what he thinks is going to happen. He will give you recommendations about how best to prepare your image going into the courtroom.
