Scott D Gardner

Scott is an elite lawyer and the only lawyer I will use in the future. Scott did a great job explaining my options during our consultation And did an even better job in court executing and getting the results we wanted. In my case he reduced my misdemeanor charge to a simple six month filing period w...ith a very small fee which will eliminated the charges. I could not have been happier with the results and I highly recommend Scott to anyone in need of legal representation

I chose Attorney Scott Gardner to defend me in an OUI case (my first and hopefully only such case) after doing extensive online research on lawyers specializing in OUI defenses in the State of Maine, and after consulting a number of attorney friends. I am very glad that he represented me, and could n...ot recommend him more highly. He is intelligent, compassionate, communicative, and resourceful. He is also a good listener and very attentive to details of police reports and medical records. In my case this was particularly important. I entered this situation with an exceedingly high blood alcohol test (~3.0) and a very unfavorable report on my behavior from the hospital I was taken to after my accident. So we started from a place that was quite unpromising, but as there were some anomalies in the tests and transcripts that Atty. Gardner was able to leverage to maximum advantage, I wound up with a result that was extremely good, considering the circumstances. Rather than having an OUI offense on my record, jail time, and a lengthy loss of driving privileges, I wound up with no jail time, a Driving to Endanger (DTE) charge, a 30-day license suspension, and a $500 fine. During the entire process, Atty. Gardner was extremely clear in providing me with information that made me feel secure and oriented as what was happening and what to anticipate regarding the legal process. He was also very reasonable and fair with regard to the payment process. Finally, and importantly, his incredibly reliable and well-informed legal assistant Sharon was an indispensable part of my experience being a good one.

I hired Scott Gardner to represent me in an OUI. My job revolves around driving, so an OUI conviction would be a very big problem. Scott was very professional and his office staff (Sharon) also professional, but very calming when we spoke. When I first spoke with Scott, he outlined the OUI process ...- Very detailed and through. He then out lined the defense and the possible outcomes. He was right on the money and the best possible outcome was achieved.

I want to start off with saying how amazing Scott was in my husband’s trial for a DUI. As his wife, I was nervous and unfamiliar with the process of how to go about choosing a lawyer and how the case itself was going to go. Scott always made me feel comfortable and always made sure that my husband ...and I communicated with decisions that had to be made throughout the case. Scott also wanted to get to know us and made me feel that he really cared about the outcome of the trial. Scott encouraged my husband to take a plea deal, which was a good deal that Scott said he was even surprised about. My husband chose to stick with his gut and not take the plea deal. Again, Scott encouraged him to speak with me and make sure that was a good decision for us. Scott thought it was a better decision to go with the plea deal rather than go to trial, but he never made me feel as if he wouldn’t go all in with the trial if that was the way we chose. Within the process, we met with Scott and he helped me to feel more comfortable and walk through what the trial would look like. On that day, Scott was confident in my husband’s case, but never over confident or cocky. Scott checked in with me on the day of the trial and made sure I knew exactly what the process was and how I was feeling. I was very, very nervous on the day of the trial because I have never been in a court room before but Scott was there to ease my mind. Throughout the trial Scott was well spoken and impressive. He had a lot of great thoughts and points to touch upon while in the trial. If you are looking for a lawyer to represent you, I highly recommend Scott. I was very happy with the outcome of not guilty and cannot thank Scott enough for all of his hard work on my husband’s case.

I was recently charged with a DUI in Maine. I found Scott online while searching for DUI lawyers. Once I contacted Scott, he made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I decided to meet with him and could tell he was very dedicated to his work and was ready to take on my case. His communication wit...h my wife and I was great and he was always flexible on when we could meet with him. As the case went on, Scott encouraged me to take a plea deal but I decided not to take what was offered. The reason why I did not take the plea deal was because the outcome of my case would highly effect my life due to the line of work that I am in and would like to get into in the future. Scott was aware of that and made me feel comfortable that he had that it mind throughout the case. Scott was confident going into the trial and was very organized. His confidence and knowledge of the laws showed during the trial. Within the trial, Scott was impressive with his points that he made and his cross examination skills were very strong. I ended up with a not guilty verdict and Scott was the one to thank for it. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and my decision to choose Scott with a very stressful part of my life, I highly recommend him.
