Hired Law firm 2023-2026From 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!

Hired Law firm 2025-20265 Stars for Michael Gast. What started as a business arrangement ended with something far more important — respect and friendship. Mike is a true fighter. He is not afraid to go toe to toe within the judicial system and stand his ground when it matters most. Throughout one of the hardest periods of my life, he remained calm, strategic, professional, and committed to fighting for fairness and resolution. What I appreciated most was that Mike treated me like a person, not just another file on his desk. He listened, pushed when needed, and never folded under pressure. Whether in hearings, negotiations, or mediation, he carried himself with confidence and integrity. At the end of the day, we walked away not only having resolved the case, but walking away as friends. That says a lot about the kind of man and attorney he is. Thank you, Mike.— Chris Hyser

Hired Law firm 2022-2023In an extremely contentious visitation modification case, Mr. Gast was not only extremely knowledgeable, but he was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for all involved on our side. He responded every single time we reached out with a question, and was wonderful at checking in to make sure we knew what was happening at all times - even after hours and on weekends. It was a difficult, but extremely successful, journey that was made easier by Mr. Gast's expertise and support. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.
