Excellent Criminal Defence

I hired Michael Garagozlo to help me with a DWI/DUI. To make matters worse, there were additional charges of a similar nature. Michael was able to resolve my case with what I consider the best possible result. The goal was a clean record and a clean record I will have. The thing I liked most abou...t working with Michael is that he was straightforward and clear when speaking with me. He set expectations appropriately. He returned all of my calls immediately. He "held my hand" throughout the entire process making sure I didn't miss anything important. All-in-all I would recommend Mr. Garagozlo to all of my friends and family should they find themsevles in the unfortunate position of needing a lawyer.

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

Trustworthy and Competent counsel

Michael, was upfront and honest about the circumstances. However, he aslso calmed my fears that my poor decision to drink and drive was going to ruin my current standing as an emplyee, husband, and father. Getting arrested and dragged to the local precinct can be sobering to say the least. Michael wa...s always available to answer any questions along the way and has both the experience and familiarity with the local justice system. It was apparent at trial that he knew the judges and state's attorneys that would be handling my case. Although, I paid a heavy financial price both in $$ and time to resolve the situation, I managed to come away with probabtion before judgement and effectively keep my record clean. If you ever need competent counsel I would recommend Michael Garagozlo...just remember that you will need to cross your t's and dot your i's for the next several months if you are facing a DUI or DWI charge. Being procative and having good counsel will go a long way to resolving the matter.

Understands the law and uses it for the benefit of his client

Michael M Garagozlo is very proactive, explained the law to me and made sure i understand the consequences of the charges that were pressed against me. He took his time to explain everything as we were proceeding, because of his patience and professionalism i knew exactly what to expect and how to ha...ndle the situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Garagozlo to my family and friends.
