I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Gast as my fiancé's legal representative during a trial, and I cannot express enough how impressed we were with his professionalism and dedication. From start to finish, Michael was prompt in his communication and highly proficient in getting the other party to respond, which made the entire process much smoother. What stood out the most was Michael's commitment to fully representing his client. He went above and beyond to ensure that my fiancé's interests were prioritized, demonstrating a level of care and diligence that is truly commendable. We wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone in need of legal representation and will definitely seek his services again in the future. Thank you, Michael, for your unwavering support and expertise!

From the moment I spoke with Mr. Gast, I felt at ease and had great confidence in him to represent me. Michael is above all steady, a quality that you really want in a lawyer, to help you navigate the legal system. Michael always listened and responded thoughtfully, and helped me make sense of my situation and what would work best. He knows Frederick Country very well and had excellent suggestions that strengthened my case. He's a stand-up guy, with a solid sense of right and wrong. He also went out of his way to make himself available, if I needed to discuss something. Finally, an added bonus: he has a great sense of humor!

I hired Mr. Gast sometime ago to represent me on two separate issues. I was told ithe 1st would be a flat rate which I paid in full & then I was given another fee for the second issue which I paid toward as a retainer all at the same time. His office at that time was with Stephen A. Glessner. Mr. Gast never correspondent with me at that time paralegal was (Wendy) so when my 1st case was approaching he called me and had no idea who I was as his client; he called me the wrong name and said I still owed him when in fact he had the wrong file in front of him as he began talking with me. I never received any legal services or representation toward the 2nd matter nor a refund for the retainer fee. No jurisprudence here

Mike worked with me over the course of the past year and a half through a particularly difficult time in my life. He was responsive, proactive, and knowledgeable throughout. Definitely recommended.

Mr Gast stood with me through a particularly tough transition in my personal life. He was responsive with communications and guided me through both civil and criminal proceedings. At a time when everything felt stacked against me Mr Gast was steadfast and reliable. The divorce process lasted a ridiculously long time but Mr Gast was there throughout and I am now happily on the other side in large part thanks to his representation.

I have hired Mike as my attorney 3 times. First for a divorce/custody case when I was in my early 20's. Once for a Custody case while in my early 30's. And this last case that just finalized for a divorce from an all but 17 year marriage. The most recent one lasted almost 2 years, because the court system is still so far behind on cases. My now ex decided to bring his "girlfriend" into our home, with me and our children there. Mike was very professional, empathetic, and aggressive when needed. Each time I hired him, he explained everything, all of the possibilities of outcomes, what I should do to keep my kids and myself safe and protected. I am disabled and currently fighting for disability, my ex was claiming that I wasn't disabled because he didn't want to pay me alimony. Mike got me in contact with James Sullivan, a Vocational expert to speak with my Doctors and be a expert witness. Doing that got me alimony, and saved me thousands of dollars because I didn't have to hire one of my doctors as a expert witness which is crazy expensive. Without Mike and his Knowledge of the laws, I don't know what I would of done. I highly recommend Mike Gast to anyone looking for a great, affordable, easy to work with attorney.

A year and some change ago, I came across the profile of Mr. Gast doing a search on trying to get a divorce in the state of Maryland. I didn’t know what I was doing, I didn’t know why this was happening in my life but I knew that I needed to move forward with my life without my husband and I knew that I needed someone to help me navigate this process. My now ex-husband while not a bad guy just a very entitled guy thought that he could intimidate me in to giving him everything he wanted because we were married after he was the one having an affair for almost a year and the woman he was having it with tried to literally take my life. When I arrived at Mr. Gast office, with a walker after being injured, lonely, and so unsure of my fate I didn’t know then what I know now and that was he was going to take care of me and be my voice. After hearing what I believe was a familiar story to him but was a first for me he treated me with respect and humility. He asked the right questions, in the right way, he gave clear directions and instructions of what he needed from me and what I needed to do, he explained every possible outcome and gave me suggestions for each one and then advised how I should proceed. I left his office informed and confident that I was making the right decision putting my divorce in hands. A year and some change later, after what was the worst time in my life it is now the best time in my life. Mr. Gast did everything he said he was going to do, he communicated with me every step of the way up until the very end. I was able to get a divorce without all the ugliness and I know it was only because of the things Mr. Gast advised along the way. I would recommend him to anyone that asked and would share my story as one of a success. Thank you again Mr. Gast for amazing service and giving me peace.

I hire Michael gast for my custody battler he was an a amzing lawyer straight forward an to the point and helped me with everything i needed or didnt understand would high recommend him! Very nice guy and was willing to talk at anytime you needed him or needed his help!

Mr. Gast helped me get what I wanted and more in a very difficult divorce. I was very worried and scared going through a divorce trial. However, Mr. Gast excels in the courtroom and I knew he was working hard for me and my family. He prepared me for what would happen in a trial and I felt at complete ease even being cross examined. Mr. Gast knew what evidence he needed from me and used it wisely in the trial. Mr. Gast has been a lawyer for a long time, so I trusted his judgment and everything turned out even better than I expected. He has a lot of experience working with judges and knows how to best present your case. Even with difficult witnesses Mr. Gast was able to get the key issues brought out, and I knew great preparation had gone into being ready for those moments. Throughout the trial I always felt that I had a great warrior on my side. On a lighter note, Mr. Gast is a great storyteller and can help take your mind off the trial. He helps you relax just by telling you stories that put your mind at ease. You can laugh with him and trust his judgment. I highly recommend Mr. Gast representing you if you’re going through a divorce, especially one going to trial.

I hired Michael Gast for my divorce and child custody. He was very reasonable on attorney fees knowing I didn't have a lot of money. He is very knowledgeable on the laws and was able to give me several options and guided me through the best options for my particular case. Mr. Gast was always very well prepared and a very aggressive lawyer in the courtroom. He made sure my kids got to stay with me and that was the most important thing. I would definitely hire Mr. Gast for a child custody and divorce case.
