Best Lawyer

I moved to Maryland from Detroit and I didn’t know anyone I caught some serious driving charges facing some serious time including Oui, I was scared outta my mind and Mr. Garagozlo helped me threw all my questions and worries he responded threw all my calls and emails and to top it off he got my seri...ous charges dismissed. I have major trust issues including the law and I highly recommend Mr.Garagozlo.

Calm, efficient, and responsive!

Michael guided me through the legal process following an incident in which I displayed a lack of judgment. He never misled me with false expectations. Rather he explained the legal proceedings and relayed his own professional experiences in such cases, which helped me better understand where I stoo...d and how I could bring my family into the conversation without embarrassment. He was consistently fair, efficient, and responsive in his communications.

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.

M. Garagozlo

Great defense attorney. Great to work with. Very understanding and listens to what you have to say. Felt very comfortable talking about a hard time in my life.

Great attorney with great outcome

I received my first (and last) DUI in MD a few months ago. I researched lawyers online and setup a few appointments. Mike was my first interview. I was very nervous and afraid about the entire process and possible outcome. Mike explained the whole process, made me feel at ease, and explained h...is fixed price fees. Based on the meeting, I hired him on the spot. He was very up front with me and did not promise me I would be completely absolved. Over the next few months, Mike guided me through the whole process with the MVA and the Courts. He kept me in the loop of where we were and was very respnsive to my questions. You could tell Mike has been doing this for a long time since he knew almost all of the people involved in my case. I received the favorable outcome he thought I would at both the MVA hearing and District Court. Others at court today with similar charges did not receive as favorable outcome and I attribute that to Mike's expertise and knowledge of the process. I highly recommend Mike if you find yourself in a similar situation.
