Charles Joseph Fitzgerald

Mr FitzGerald came recommended to me from a friend. Like the other reviews I was amazed that he answers the phone most everyday and time. His knowledge of the law and relationship with the prosecutors is better than any other lawyer I have had to hire. My case was a DWI 2, ASAP violation, 2 count...s of Driving on Suspended, and 2 Probation violations. This occurred in Montgomery County. I had replaced another attorney who I had first hired who said he got me a "deal" to serve 60 days. Mr FitzGerald somehow was able to get all but the DWI dropped and I did 5 days. He is now handling my immigration case. He is reliable, responds immediately, reasonably priced and knows his stuff. I recommend him if you have any legal problem.

I was arrested in Maryland for a series of felonies and I got Mr. FitzGerald's name from one of the deputies who knew him from his days as a police officer. I did not get bonded out so I called his number on Sunday expecting to leave a message since no attorneys ever work weekends and most make you w...ait for 3 days before they return the call. Surprisingly Mr. FitzGerald answered immediately and told me he makes himself available 7 days a week and most hours of the day, since most arrests occur at night. Well I am glad I called. Although his fee was not the cheapest (you get what you pay for) it was worth it and more. He filed a bond motion the next day and I was out on Tuesday. Meanwhile he tracked down two of the witnesses and the officer and interviewed them at length. This helped when it came time to go to trial. In discussions with the prosecutor as to why the case against me was no good, he learned that the prosecution felt exactly the same way due to the evidence being suspect. I do not know how he was able to do so, but all charges were dropped. He is now preparing a civil suit for malicious prosecution. If you are arrested for any offense, felony, misdemeanor, dui, drugs, assault....anything, you have to call Mr FitzGerald. The other reviews he has are spot on. This guy is knowledgable, knows the system inside and out, is always available to call and speak to, when he says he will do something it gets done fast. Trust me this is the guy to call. He practices in local courts and federal courts (I know because my nephew used him in federal court...and won).

I saw the first review on AVVO and contacted Mr. FitzGerald. He was the only attorney who answers his own phone and you dont have to be handed off to a secretary or para legal who tells you he will call you back. All the other lawyers I called took 3 or 4 days to call back. My case was a DWI and boy ...was I guilty. Mr. FitzGerald because of his prior police experience reviewed the scene of the accident and found some issues with the police officers case. This allowed him to negotiate a no jail time, very low fine result. I recommend this lawyer for any case, misdemeanor, felony and immigration (he got my deportation case dismissed as well.)

I was arrested for several drug violations. I heard Mr. FitzGerald arguing a case in Arlington, which he won and I asked him if he could take my case. He was glad to do so and at a rate that was fair but professional. He went out to the scene where the police arrested me and did his own investigation.... I found out later he is a retired police detective. When we came to court because of the evidence he had gathered on his own about some of the witnesses the case was dropped. I highly recommend this lawyer to anyone in trouble.
