Michael Garagozlo

Michael Garagozlo is a true maestro in the art of lawyering. He did everything he said he would at the beginning of our process, and went out of his way in ensuring that my fate was not left in somebody else's hands. I'm truly thankful and grateful to have had such dedicated representation for my cas...e.

Great lawyer

I never had to deal with legal issues and Michael assisted me from the first day we met til the court date. He explained my charges clearly and was very knowledgeable. He also laid out his expectations from me, and you will need to work with him and be patient. I was really on edge during the whole p...rocess but Michael was able to ease my stress. I truly appreciated Michael’s willingness, confidence, and determination to get the best possible outcome for my case. I can’t thank him enough.

Getting in contact with a good attorney

Never in my life before had I even had any experience with a lawyer, but when I walked into Michael’s office. I knew he was going to take good care of me. First thing he did when I sat down with all my police report papers and charges was go over it, he throughly went over every single detail in the ...reports that I had gotten the night before when I was arrested. It was sticky situation. But nonetheless Michael took the challenges with my case head on, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have done it. I truly believe that Michael got the best outcome in my case. He knows very well how to navigate our local court system and he does it well. As much as I liked seeing and talking to Michael about my situation/case, I do hope to never have to have him represent me in this manner ever again… - I made a terrible mistake and I’m very disappointed in my actions that led me having to seek an attorney. But I’ll never regret getting in contact with G & G Legal, not only did they represent me in the best way, but they have also helped me get in contact with a lot of resources/courses and classes that help and nudge you to a better straighter path.

Best lawyer

Michael Garagozlo was a the best lawyer I could ask for. From the moment I met him to the day of court, he made me comfortable and confident in my case. Mr. Garagozlo is very experienced and quickly figures out the best course of action to take. He explained everything to me clearly and I never felt ...like I didn’t really know what was going on. I can’t recommend him enough! Thanks Michael!
