Highly Recommend

Scott was extremely great to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me in my case. He was very communicative from beginning to end. Answered any questions I had through out the case and responded to me very quickly. We got the outcome we had hoped for. I highly recomme...nd Scott Gardner for any DUI, DWI, Criminal Defense cases.

Great representation

Lawyer was professional and was able to use knowledge of the law and his reputation to greatly help in my case. Would surely recommend.

Posted by Adam | October 02, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Highly recommend

Attorney Gardner reviewed my case very carefully and understood my living situation and future goals before going after what was definitely the best possible outcome in my position. A very thoughtful and professional lawyer who put me at ease in and out of court, helping with my deferred disposition.... I still don't know hoe he got me the plea that he did but I am super grateful and would highly recommend his services to anyone facing a DUI charge.

OUI

Attorney Gardner was very well prepared when presenting my case. He is very professional and looked to by his colleagues as a resource for advice.

Saying this man is amazing will not do him justice!

My son was arrested in Maine and charged with OUI. Attorney Gardner reviewed the evidence and was very confident in his ability to if not clear my son, plea the charge down. I was totally pessimistic due to it seems law enforcement is always believed. The public really has to fight to be heard and b...elieved. Due to the evidenced Attorney Gardner provided along with his ability and professional skills Attorney Gardner pleaded down the charge and cleared my son at his DMV hearing. I also have to mention Sharon in Attorney Gardner's office. I emailed and called so many times with one question after another. Sharon would always reply quickly and assure me that my son was in good hands. He was! I thank Attorney Gardner and Sharon for all they have done. I highly recommend anyone who needs representation especially recommend Attorney Gardner if everything is on the line. Call him. Do not wait!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
