Amazing all around.

I recently had Michael represent me in my time of need and I never once thought twice about it. He is always available to you and will tell you like it is. He is fair and treats you like the human being that you are. I am so happy and relieved with the results of my case with Michael by my side. ...I had used him about 10 years ago and my mother referred him to me as he had helped her in the past as well.

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.

I won

Michael represented me in court for my case and I received the best possible favorable outcome in my favor, and he had a lot to do with it. He is very responsive and a great value for your money. I highly recommend him.

Phenomenal Lawyer

Mike is an incredible attorney, who really cares about his clients. He was aware of my needs and wants and did everything possible in order to satisfy them. His timely response in a very stressful period was of extreme importance. His connections and understanding of the Maryland legal infrastructure..., his experience makes him a great asset to any defense. I was extremely happy at the outcome of my case and would recommend Mike to anyone in need of help.

Best of the best (DUI)

I could tell Mr. Garagozlo was looking out for my best interest and in doing so he earned my respect and trust.

Mr. Garagozlo was proactive in protecting my rights and in providing quick and reliable feedback and answers to my questions. Additionally Mr. Garagozlo was incredibly prepared and displayed excellent negotiation skills in settling my case. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest and compassionate attorney.
