Excellent Attorney!

Michael has helped me with two legal issues. He is extremely professional, takes time to explain your options and has great compassion. I was facing a recent DUI charge. Michael skillfully formulated a plan of action for me to follow. He negotiated tirelessly for me with the prosecutor and repres...ented me before the judge. The outcome was better than I could have imagined! If you want excellent council, call Michael! Great lawyer and good person!!!

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!!!!

Review

Atty Garagozlo is a "must" and would highly recommend him. He clearly articulated in simple terms to me what is expected and was able to ease my anxiety regarding my situation. He walked me through steps on what I needed to do. He was able to do his professional best to mitigate my case. Overall I am... fully satisfied with the outcome.

Great Attorney

Michael Garagozlo was referred to me by a colleague, assuring me he was a reliable attorney with great experience in his profession. And now by personal experience, I could not agree more! He always kept me informed and provided clear communication, was always honest and upfront, which provided trust... and confidence. He provided great resolution to my case.

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.
