Uninsured vehicle

Michael was great with my case. I got my driver license suspended for not appear to court for driving an uninsured vehicle, not mentioning the bench warrant I got for all this. Michael took care of everything, he is trustworthy and very helpful, He calls, and answer back calls immediately even he is ...super busy he makes times for all his clients. My case went smooth and satisfactory in every way.

Michael Garagozlo is the way to go!

Michael Garagozlo was extremely helpful, professional, and successful with my case. Having know Mike as my lawyer, as well as someone close to the family, I would recommend him to anyone in need of a legal representative. He was able to get my ticket and points dropped and did everything he could to ...make my life as easy as possible throughout the process.

Excellent Criminal Defence

I hired Michael Garagozlo to help me with a DWI/DUI. To make matters worse, there were additional charges of a similar nature. Michael was able to resolve my case with what I consider the best possible result. The goal was a clean record and a clean record I will have. The thing I liked most abou...t working with Michael is that he was straightforward and clear when speaking with me. He set expectations appropriately. He returned all of my calls immediately. He "held my hand" throughout the entire process making sure I didn't miss anything important. All-in-all I would recommend Mr. Garagozlo to all of my friends and family should they find themsevles in the unfortunate position of needing a lawyer.

Highly Recommended

I have used Mr. Garagozlo numerous times over the past 13 years to represent me in DUI cases, small misdemeanors and even traffic cases. Every time he is very thoughtful in his approach, is helpful in his advice to guide me in the right direction, keeps me informed, and at the end of the day gets the... best possible result every time. I have no reason at all to use anyone else as my attorney. I would, and I have, absolutely recommend Michael Garagozlo to anyone who needs outstanding legal representation.
