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.

Thoughtful, helpful and compelling

Scott Gardner paid great attention to the details of my case and used broad knowledge of the law and process of the law to leverage the best results in court. It is important for your success to employ the scope of knowledge and experience that this lawyer will leverage in your case. You do not wan...t to go to court for an OUI charge without Scott's representation.

This lawyer saved my career

Where do I begin? Scott is a miracle worker! In a series of unfortunate events I was facing my second OUI. The consequences were very serious and could have changed the course of my life. I was facing a 3 year license suspension and possible jail time. I would have had to quit my job and throw ...away all I had worked for the past few years. Facing these realizations is when I decided I needed to take action and hire a lawyer. I chose Scott after asking around for referrals and hearing he was the best for the job. That statement couldn't have been any truer. Scott kept me informed throughout the whole process and was very honest and kept my expectations realistic. Scott was extremely professional and REALLY impressed me in the court room. Scott went above and beyond for me and the results were more than I could have ever imagined. My case was dismissed; I kept my job & am very happy I took that extra step to hire Scott. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Successful OUI Defense

i provided Scott necessary documentation in my defense which was presented by Scott prior to pretrial to the DA and the OUI was dismissed before pretrial. The DA contacted Scott and told him that she couldn't remember the last time a case was dismissed so early in the process. I also never had my d...river license suspended. Scott and His paralegal, Pam, we're very supportive and encouraging in keeping my spirits up. I highly recommend Scott.

  • 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.
