My wife and I hired Turco and Drascovich after being quoted $7500 for their services when another firm had quoted us $12,000. We jumped at the price difference! I was facing 5 felony charges for sex crimes I did not commit. When I met Turco for the first time in Court, he asked me how much I could afford for bail. I told him my wife and I don't actually have any money, but if we were to max out our credit cards, we could probably manage at max 50k, but that would completely max us out without leaving us anything to live off of. During bail discussions, the Judge made several comments to which Turco had no answers or retorts. After the DA suggested their bail amount to the Judge, Turco suggested 50k ... That was his first starting offer. No room for negotiation or anything. The Judge accepted Turco's offer and I was left slack-jawed in disbelief. He offered my absolute max as his first offer. Fortunately, Turco was just the stand-in for Robert Drascovich that day. I mean the firm is named after Drascovich, right? I had much higher expectations for Robert. Our first visit with Robert Drascovich left my wife and I feeling incredibly uneasy. He didn't want to hear a single detail about our case. He just tried to assure us that he has handled many cases like ours and we had nothing to worry about. How can you make such assurances without knowing anything about our case? Our unease only grew. We could never actually reach Drascovich on the phone himself, only relayed messages through one of his secretaries, secretaries whom never even identify themselves by name when you call, but merely answer with the two words, "Attourney's office." Drascovich suggested on our first visit that we hire a P.I. named Ken Hardy. We paid Ken Hardy $1500 who said he was doing us a favor by lowering his normal rate to $75 an hour, yet wasted the first two hours just reading my charges and the the statements against me when he met me at my apartment. I am not illiterate. I could have read all of that for myself. Long story short, Drascovich continued to reassure us that everything would be ok. He said he was confident our case would not go to District Court. Still, he never asked about any details about the case and told us there's no point in us telling him anything until it's time because he has so many other cases. The big ka-boom was dropped the day right before my pre-trial hearing. I called his secretary the day before to schedule a meeting because my pre-trial was coming up and he had still yet to even contact me to hear anything about the case. If I had not called, would my pre-trial have been arranged without even a single strategy meeting with Robert? The day RIGHT before my pre-trial, Robert told my wife and I that he had reviewed our case and there was only a one in a thousand chance that our trial is not going to District Court. This was after assuring us from the beginning that our case would most likely be settled before reaching District Court. He also said that his prices had recently increased. How convenient... I asked Robert how much to continue. He said 40 grand. I told him that much was nowhere even near the realm of what we could afford. So he asked if we had any family that could afford it... I have since asked two other lawyers for advice concerning this amount and they both said it was incredibly high for the type of case. On the day of the pre-trial arraignment, he couldn't even remember my daughter's name, who is an important person for my defense. He didn't even ask the accuser any questions with the ammo my wife and I had supplied him. I have since gone with a public defender to handle the rest of my case. That P.I Drascovich had me hire for $1500? He never questioned a single person. My witness told me he never contacted him. He stopped responding to my texts as well. Do NOT hire this firm!

Outstanding! I can’t say it enough.

I have used Mr Gowdeys legal services for several different situations. Upfront tells it how it is ...like it or not .. . He is there with you every step of the way . . With Mr Gowdey there is NO run around , candy coating , hidden fees. NOR do you feel left out in the cold after you retain him . He goes out of his way to answer any questions he returns his phone calls . Doesn't leave you hanging.. Even on one of the most important days of his life ... .the day his son was born he didn't leave my case hanging . I have retained Mr Gowdey several times after that . .And 15 years later nothing has changed . He is by far the best. Mr Gowdey I thank you so much..

Excelente!

Michael is very good and honest person who cares about his clients and not just profit. Always available to answer any questions I had,even not related with the case. He took care of me and my health needs due to my injury. If you are looking for a friend,someone to treat you like a family member this is your best choice. Michael is Not just another lawyer who's going to treat it as any other case on their desk- Michael is your best choice! A+++

He was great, got everything done quickly at a great rate! Thanks!

Mr. Gowdey has won a couple of cases for me. He is prompt, efficient and an excellent attorney! I have and would recommend him to my friends and family!

Draskovich is absolutely wonderful and gets the job done. Highly recommend him and his services. However, the receptionist lacks competency entirely.

Awesome lawyer!! I retained Mr. Gowdey after fighting a case for 4 years. I was facing serious charges with jail time. I couldn’t be happier with the results!! No probation! No parole! Time served!! Mr. Gowdey is very professional and was always straight up with me! If you find you need a lawyer he’s your guy!! You won’t be disappointed! I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!
