Best Lawyer in DMV

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me in my DUI case. Michael walked me through the entire process while being very understanding and compassionate. He is truly an expert in his field and was able to predict the exact outcome of my trial based on his extensive experience. I was al...so impressed by his confident presence in the courtroom and well-established rapport with many law officials in the MD area. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.

DUI Cases - Michael is the best!

Considering this was my first time getting a DUI, I was very nervous and scared. However, Michael allayed all of that; he is very professional and knowledgeable about these sorts of cases! On the day of the case, he was prepared and told me what to say. I wouldn't trust anybody else!

Mr. Garagozlo's Excellent Handling of My Case

Mr. Garagozlo has impressive knowledge of the law regarding DUIs and knows all the right people in the court system. He obtained THE VERY BEST outcome for me. I respect him immensely and would recommend him to anyone.

Highly Recommended

I have used Mr. Garagozlo numerous times over the past 13 years to represent me in DUI cases, small misdemeanors and even traffic cases. Every time he is very thoughtful in his approach, is helpful in his advice to guide me in the right direction, keeps me informed, and at the end of the day gets the... best possible result every time. I have no reason at all to use anyone else as my attorney. I would, and I have, absolutely recommend Michael Garagozlo to anyone who needs outstanding legal representation.

THE MOST TRUTHFUL LAWYER THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS

TWO MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY AND I HAVE USED MICHAEL ON THREE DIFFERENT CASES AND IN ALL EVERYTHING THAT HE TOLD US THAT HE WILL DO HE WAS ABLE TO DO IT. I REMEMBER HE WILL ALWAYS TELL US THAT JUST DO WHAT I WILL TELL YOU TO DO AND LEAVE THE REST FOR ME. AT THE TRAIL HE TOOK OF EVERYTHING US HE PROMISE... AND I WAS SET FREE AND AFTER THAT HE HELPED ME TO FILE EXPUNGEMENT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE OF THE TRUTH THAT HE TOLD US THERE WAS A DIFFERENT CASE THAT I WANTED HIM TO HANDLE FOR ME HE TOLD ME THAT HE DOES NOT DEAL WITH SUCH CASES ANY MORE UNLIKE SOME LAWYERS THAT WILL HANDLE IT BECAUSE OF THE MONEY. HE WAS

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
