The right pick

Met with many lawyers before I chose Michael to represent me and he did not disappoint. If you need a lawyer in the Rockville area, go with him.

Michael is one of, if not the best lawyers in the DMV. He was able to obtain an almost impossible outcome for my second dui offense.

The best lawyer in DMV

Mr. Michael  He is one of the best lawyer in DMV area with reasonable prices and good experience the first day when I get serious violation I was frustrated because of the violation I get but ones I meet MR. Michael I feel like I'm on right hand. I also did a good sleep because everything went wel...l before the court date and after the court date.  I just check on my driving record this its look like everything is fine. So I just want to say thank you for your hard work I will definitely recommend you to the people who need your help real traffic violation.    Thank you.

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.

Simply the Best

Simply put, Michael Garagozla is the best. I received a serious traffic citation, and I am still in disbelief of the outcome. I witnessed firsthand why Michael Garagozla is such a talented lawyer. He is knowledgeable, professional, tenacious, and comforting. During my court hearing, I got to witn...ess a lot of different lawyers representing their clients. I was extremely comforted to discover that Michael Garagozla was by far the most skilled lawyer, and it wasn't even close. You can't put a price on peace of mind, and knowing that you're in the best possible legal hands. Thank you Michael Garagozla.
