Battisti & Garzo

When LIFE happens, it's good to know that there are still humble, down to earth, hard working attorneys that are willing to go the distance for you. Michael Garzo is, by far, the best lawyer I know. He took a potentially life devastating situation for me, took my lemons, and made lemonade. You can forget what someone has done for you, but never how they made you feel. He never judged me, and worked beyond his job description. If you ever find yourself with any legal issues, please consider hiring Mike Garzo - you won't regret it.

I'm shocked to see this law firm has less than 4 stars. My experience with Mike Garzo was excellent. I will absolutely refer this firm to my closest friends and family, bc Mike Garzo did a great deal of work to defend me. This is after missing court & having a warrant out for my arrest. Mike Garzo immediately had the warrant lifted & got me a new court date. When I went to court, I was shocked at the details Mike knew, when he talked to the judge. It was like Mike had known me for years. I had a court appointed attorney prior to hiring Mike Garzo & this was my first offense. The court appointed attorney, had plead me guilty & was pushing for me to go to drug court for a year & then a period of probation. I didn't know the first attorney had plead me guilty. He had discussed me attending drug court for a year & I had told him no way. Mike explained to me, an attorney never pleads a client guilty for a first offense. Instead a good attorney would have taken it to trial if they were unable to get the charges reduced & if I'd lost in a trial, I'd have gotten the punishment the first attorney was pushing for from the get go. Therefore the court appointed attorney was not defending me at all. I didn't avoid my court dates, a family member begged me to come south with her. She promised to get me back for court and to get my car. She did neither. That's a long story & my goal is to leave Mike Garzo a 5 star review. Mike Garzo absolutely deserves a 5 star positive review Mike Garzo is extremely professional, articulate, attentive, well dressed, has a keen eye for detail & researched the paperwork from my arrest & prior court appearance documents. Mike said they found a lot of drugs, but no papers. So how could I be rolling a joint when the police "strolled by". They didn't stroll by, they snuck up on me with guns drawn & frightened me. That is extremely scary! The officers charged me for prescribed anxiety meds bc I had combined 2 bottles. The officers said that was illegal. If I have 7 pills left from the prior month & fill my new months prescription & I put the 7 exact same pills in the new bottle, that is illegal. Mike Garzo explained a lot to me, I didn't know my rights before hiring Garzo. Mike defended me & got me a 1 year conditional discharge, don't get in trouble for 1 year. No probation, no drug court. I had to have a drug test & passed it easily. I feel grateful to have found Mike Garzo, everyone in their office was & still are kind, helpful & I'm very happy with the end results! Thank You Mike! You really saved me! You are incredible!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great lawyers! I have had Paul for my attorney and I was satisfied with the outcome ..They go the distance and do everything they can for you! I have referred Paul to a handful of my friends and family . They were all satisfied with Paul winning their cases. I would give more stars but can only give 5!

There's nothing worse than your lawyer misleading you about the circumstances of your plea. Their fancy suits and shiny shoes sure make them look like lawyers but you may be better off having the guy sitting next to you at the bar represent you, at least you can trust him. It's a shame I have to give them one star.
