A shark in the courtroom

Mr. Gazell Literally SAVED my life! I was facing a slew of false allegations and Mr. Gazell through due diligence and hard work,coupled with his knowledge of the law brought the truth to light!!! I can move on with my life and get back to raising my children. If you need an attorney Mr. Gazell is abs...olutely the right choice. He will be your voice in the courtroom and he will be your biggest advocate

Professional, knowledgeable and hardworking

I had an appointment not really knowing what I wanted to be honest. Attorney Michael T. Gazell sat down with me and listened to everything that I had to say. Mr. Gazell was amazing and very respectful to my situation. Not long after I was released from my terms Mr. Gazell went above and beyond to eve...n get my case dismissed. Mr. Gazell will be my only recommendation for anyone having legal issues. I would give 6 stars if I could. Do not hesitate to call and just have a consultation, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you for all of vivir hard work!

I came into the Law Office of Michael T. Gazell and spoke with attorney Gazell. He was professional, took his time, listened to my situation, and said he could help me. In the courtroom, Gazell fought for me. He truly wants to win for his clients. I came out of jury trial where attorney Gazell was ab...le to get me a hung jury, which means the jury could not reach a verdict in my case. In the United States of America, if all 12 jurors do not reach a verdict, then I walk free. I am still presumed innocent under the U.S. Constitution to this day. Thank you so much Mr. Gazell for going all the way to a jury trial to preserve my constitutional rights and freedom!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
