Experienced and affordable

Mr. Gast helped me win a custody battle that seemed hopeless. I'm so thankful I had a representative I could trust, and for his flexibility with my payments.

Excellent experience!

Had a wonderful experience with Michael -- he was nothing but kind and helpful in helping me resolve a difficult and stressful situation. I couldn't have asked for a more determined advocate. I would highly recommend hiring him if you want to avoid being represented by someone less experienced, or s...omeone who just doesn't care (I had bad experiences before I came to him, but unlike other attorneys he resolved everything quickly and cheaply). I've since recommended him to several of my friends and co-workers.

Meeted all my expectations

Mr. Gast is the BEST lawyer I have ever worked with. By far he met all my expectations may have even exceeded them! If you have needs for seperation/divorce this is your man! Great job, keep it up.

Satisfied client

When searching for an attorney I needed in Maryland, I came across the name of Michael Gast. His charge was reasonable. He was hired-our dealings with him were extremely professional and the end result was very satisfactory. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a competent attorney.

Posted by John | September 10, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Child custody

There should be more attorneys like Mr. Gast in our court systems. Mr Gast's straight forwardness and personality was a plus for building our client/ attorney relationship. Mr. Gast was very informative of our case options, along with suggestions and outcome scenario's. Very responsive to our custod...y case issues 24/7. Highly recommended.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jun 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mike Gast and I met on opposite sides of a civil assault case in which Mike represented the Plaintiff and I was on the defense side. It was an interesting, but sad, case in that two soccer coaches got into a fist fight in front of their own kids. Throughout the litigation, and despite the animosity between our clients, Mike maintained the highest standard of professionalism. Combined with tireless dedication to the cause and effective advocacy, Mike prevailed at trial and procured a significant verdict for his client. Mike practices largely in the areas of divorce and domestic law at this time and I have no doubt he is one of the best in that arena, as well."
