OUI defense

I had Scott for a lawyer in 2012 and he defened me in a drunk driving case (second offense). Scott did a great job in making the process as easy as he could for me and came forthwith what he said he could deliver for the outcome. I have gotten my driver's lisence back as of 7/2/2015 with no issues.

Very Good Decision

5 stars is no exaggeration. Mr. Gardner is who you want representing you if you find your self with an OUI. Mr. Gardner pushes for the best possible outcome. He will also guide you throughout the whole somewhat complicated process. It was clear that he knew what he was talking about and has been doi...ng this a long time. By hiring Scott, I learned the importance of having good representation in the court of law.

dui case

My case involved a possible 90 day admin suspension and a dui on my driving record. Thanks to Scott neither of those happened. My outcome was very satisfactory and I highly recommend Scott and Pam (his legal assistant) !

Highly recommended

Attorney Gardner represented me on an OUI charge in southern Maine. From the onset, I was put at ease by his knowledge and experience. Having handled numerous similar cases in the past, Attorney Gardner was able to confidently and honestly answer my many questions throughout the legal process. I kn...ew from the beginning that I had chosen the best representation possible. What impressed me most about Attorney Gardner was that although he was undoubtedly involved with representing other clients during this same time period, I genuinely felt my questions and case were never on the back burner. He always responded promptly to each of many phone calls and emails. Most importantly, he helped me achieve my ultimate goal of having the charge dismissed. I highly recommended Attorney Gardner without hesitation.

Avvo Rating

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.
