DUI with excessive speeding case

Michael Garagolzo is an incredible lawyer. I was charged with a DUI, exceeding the speed limit, negligent driving, reckless driving, failure to obey traffic control devices, driving without a license… my docket was like a grocery list. I had a previous out of state DUI as well. I spoke with many lawy...ers in a short span of time, but once I had my meeting with Michael I stopped looking. He let me know how serious the charges were and that I was looking at jail time. He didn’t try to sell me snake oil, he told me exactly what I was looking at and exactly what I had to do to mitigate the punishment. I followed his instructions to a T. He was able to avoid license suspension with the MVA, I will say with a little luck, but also with his knowledge of those proceedings. The paperwork wasn’t in order and he called it out. In my criminal case, he was able to get me a plea deal resulting in only the negligent driving offense. Everything else was dropped. There was also a moment where we were discussing whether I would present my case and try to get my fines reduced or if I was going to accept the deal as is. The plan was that I would present my case. The case presented before mine was very similar, and the judge tore that guy apart. Michael saw that and immediately accepted the plea deal. That moment of intuition saved me from a judge who went on to say, “Do you understand the miracle that your lawyer performed for you today?”. Honest to God, the judge said that… Michael’s complete familiarity with not only the laws, but the legal process and the people enacting it were on full display throughout my time with him. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Fast and efficient! Case dismissed!

Wow! Mr. Garagozlo was great! He was the only lawyer I consulted with who researched who my judge and State's Attorney were. Mr. Garagozlo's court motions were speedy and we received discovery very quickly which allowed us to formulate a strategy. My case was dismissed after Mr. Garagozlo spoke with ...the State's Attorney. A+

My Son Criminal Case

Working with lawyer Michael Garagozlo for my son’s criminal case was the best decision. From our first phone call conversion to our first meeting, he explained everything to me and was always available to answer my call even after office hours. He responds in a highly timely manner and is a very know...ledgeable, trustworthy person. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price in Maryland, then go to Michael Garagozlo.
