Best of the best (DUI)

Michael M. Garagozlo, Esq. of G&G Legal is the type of lawyer every client wants. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable of the law, but more importantly he cares about his clients. Mr. Garagozlo was the first call I made. Frightened and upset, it was his calm and empathetic demeanor that put me at e...ase. I could tell Mr. Garagozlo was looking out for my best interest and in doing so he earned my respect and trust. Since then he’s been nothing but professional and provided me nothing short of excellent, genuine representation. 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. Simply put, Michael M. Garagozlo, Esq. of G&G Legal is the best of the best in my book.

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.

DUI

I was recommended by a co-worker to come to G&G Legal. I would say this was the best recommendation. I was lucky enough to work with Michael Garagozlo who is phenomenal. He took on my case right away and explain to me what my possible outcomes would be and worse case scenerio. Everything he said woul...d happen; happened. He told me what steps I needed to make before my court case and did just that. I was able to walk away with a pbj,no jail time and my fines were less. Very sastified. Very adffordable and efficent. Works with you as far as payment if you want to do a payment plan. With me working two jobs, most of the time I was only able to stay in contact through email and he was very responsive. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone needing assistance. Outside of my case I needed legal advice and Michael once again was able to assist me when I need it. I truely appreciate Michael G and everything he has done. In trouble ask for Michael!!!!

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Garagozlo was excellent. When first consulting with him he gave me the facts and did not pressure me to hire him. I decided to hire him and it was a great decision. My case dealt with a DUI in which resulted in an accident where I was at fault, with a 0.24 BAC level. Needless to say, it was a tou...gh case. He told me everything I needed to do and not to do during the time period from the incident to my court date. As my date got closer, he kept in contact with me and made sure all documents that were needed to benefit me was occupied. His experience and expertise helped with the results of my case which turned out to include no jail time. i would certainly recommend Mr. Garagozlo to anyone going through what I went through. You won't regret it.

Mike Garagozlo

When a family is faced with a serious legal situation, the stress and the uncertainty can have adverse affects on the entire family. Mike's representation absolutely minimized these issues for us. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. He was unbelievably responsive to every communication we ...had with him, often replying with a phone call within minutes. He was very clear in what he needed from us and we never had a case of mutual mystification. He kept us apprised of all situations along the way through the outcome of the trial, for which we could not have hoped for a better result. Mike has a terrific knack for explaining complex legal situations in a manner that we, as lay persons, could easily understand. He clearly possesses great knowledge of the law and its procedures. I simply give Mike my highest rating and would emphatically recommend him to anyone. He really is a credit to his profession.
