Great, Great Lawyer!!!!

I received a DUI recently and this was the first time I had been in any trouble. A coworker who had just gone through a similar situation recommended Mr. Garagozlo and I can truly say that he was great. He was on top of everything, reminding me of every important date in my case. He has great connect...ions with the local judges and prosecutors. We were able to get the best possible outcome in our case and for that I'm grateful for what Mr. Garagolzo was able to do for me. He was also flexible with payments and was able to put me on a reasonable payment plan. I would definitely recommend Mr. Garagozlo to anyone going through a similar situation as I was. 5/5!

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!!!!

Best MD DUI Lawyer!

After embarrassingly being charged with a DUI among other charges in Montgomery County, MD, Michael Garagozlo was the first lawyer I contacted and had responded almost immediately. Mr. Garagozlo was extremely pleasant and very reassuring that he would do his best to represent me to the best of his a...bility, and also to get the best outcome for this situation. After meeting with Mr. Garagozlo, I felt a sense of relief that he was my lawyer for this ordeal. As one can imagine, this was a very embarrasing and trying time in my life; Mr. Garagozlo made the process as easy and painless as possible. Every meeting and phone exchange we had was constructive, positive and as relieving as it could possibly be for a situation like this. Mr. Garagozlo was very flexible in terms of payment. He allowed me to pay for his services through a monthly payment plan which made things much easier for me financially, as this process is a very costly one. In the end, I received a PBJ for a DWI, just as what Mr. Garagozlo wanted for me. I can not thank him enough for being there to calm my nerves about the situation, along with this ongoing legal support. If for some reason you run into the same situation as I did, Michael Garagozlo should be the lawyer you contact to deal with this matter. You will not regret your decision.

Re: Michael did a great job for me!

It is truly my pleasure to recommend Michael to anyone who finds themselves in the nightmarish position of being charged with achohol and other related offenses as was the situation in my case. After making a terrible and regretful decision to drink and drive I found myself facing eight total seriou...s charges in all. This nightmare had begun for me and my family and had now become my reality. I was not sure exactly what to expect but I knew that the consequences would be severe as I had a previous achohol related offense on my record from twenty-four years ago and this one was much worse. Michael immediately put my fears at ease and explained to me a game plan that we would follow and that proved to be my salvation. The payment plan he offered was very helpful and most reasonable also. I could finally sleep at night again. His strategy was masterful as he worked my case through the various obstacles and roadblocks. It was very clear to me that Michael's knowledge and relationships with the prosecutor and the judges in my case were invaluable. The end result kept me driving, my driving record good and very much relieved by not having to be incarcerated. My family and I cannot thank Michael enough for his professionalism and expertise which saved the day and ended the nightmare. Michael D. T. - Gaithersburg, Md.
