Great lawyer!!

My interaction with Michael was impressive. He was so insightful and kind to my situation. I loved how straight forward he was, and I never got the feeling that he was trying to sell me on his services. I highly recommend if you get into a predicament, that you call him and use his services. You won’...t regret it!!

The right man for the job!

I recently had a personal injury case and was in need of legal counsel. Mr Gazell reviewed my case and brought things to a speedy resolution. I highly recommend the services of Michael Gazell. Esq. He is personable, attentive to your needs and the professional acuity to get the job done.

Helped Me Out When I Needed It Most

Sooo I was in a a tough spot and made a mistake (I’m human after all). I won’t go into details about everything, but for sure I was nervous about my case, and my future. I was recommended to Attorney Michael Gazell through a friend. He took my case and provided some aggressive representation. It took... a few court appearances, but that man got my entire case dismissed in court! He had the prosecution shook! Mr. Gazell is everything I expect in a criminal defense attorney, a true professional and a solid dude . I couldn’t thank him enough for everything. I highly recommend him to anyone who has slipped up a little and is in need of a great criminal defense lawyer.

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.
