    ExcellentMichael T. Gazell, Attorney at Law5.0 Based on 147 reviews fromSee all reviews review us onMiss AdventureMiss Adventure ★★★★★ Being charged with a serious crime can be very daunting, seriously. I think I forgot what it was to breathe when I learned that I had a warrant out. I didn't know where to go, who to call, and what to do. Searching for a lawyer is like looking for a good hairstylist. You want to make sure you choose the right one or you're left wearing a hat until your hair grows out, right? That's just hair; now imagine someone handling your freedom. That's your life.I spoke with a few lawyers and was not so convinced so I kept searching. I heard about Michael Clayton and Associates through a colleague. I looked them up online and read great reviews. This was the first time in my life that I have ever needed an attorney. After my free consultation with Mr. Clayton, I left the office feeling that I made the right choice in having Michael Clayton and Associates represent me.I am so glad that I did. For my arraignment and the rest of court appearances Mr. Michael Gazell represented me. He is a skilled attorney as well as attentive. He helped me understand everything that is going on with my case every step of the way. That, to me, is very important because I don't speak legalese.After months of court appearances, switching from one courthouse to another, and a change in District Attorneys I am happy to say that Mr. Michael Gazell, my attorney, got me the best possible outcome. He went far and beyond my expectations.I would highly recommend Mr. Gazell and give him ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆Thank you, Mr Gazell.
