Expert Representation

If you are looking for legal representation for a DUI case in Montgomery County, I highly recommend Michael Garagozlo. I was in a panic after my arrest, which involved a collision and multiple charges. Mike was empathetic, compassionate, and honest; he explained my options and outlined the probable... outcome. He recommended several immediate courses of action (alcohol education classes, community service), all of which helped my case. Throughout the process he was very responsive. He promptly answered every email, text, or phone call, usually within 15 minutes. Most importantly, he was very familiar with the Montgomery County justice system. He has established connections with the prosecuting attorneys and is very familiar with the judges who try DUI cases in Montgomery County. I believe that his expert knowledge and reputation were largely responsible for the positive outcome in my case—probation before judgement on a reduced charge, with no jail time, no supervision, no fines, and no points. If you have been arrested for DUI, call Michael Garagozlo!

Look no further, this is your guy

I hired Mike immediately after my free consultation because of his proven track record, as illustrated by his excellent reviews on this site. My charges included DUI, DWI, speeding (60 in a 40), and negligent driving, and I had no prior DUI/DWI-related offenses. My punishment as a result of the reduc...ed charges (DWI and negligent driving) was a fine and one point on my driving record. Because of Mike's representation today, I was able to walk out of the courtroom with Probation Before Judgment. Without Michael Garagozlo's legal expertise, I would not be writing this review in the comfort of my home.

The Absolute Best!!

Let me start this review by saying that I chose Mr. Garagozlo based off of other reviews I read online. After getting a DUI along with 4 other citations, I was frantically searching for a good lawyer with plenty of experience. I found Mr. G. This man is awesomeeee!! Extremely professional, timely res...ponses, fair costs, always on top of everything..... He helped the outcome of my case much better than if I had chosen to take this on by myself. I recommend him to anyone in search of a Maryland lawyer who needs someone to pay close attention to their case.
