OUI Case

Hands down the best lawyer I have ever worked with would highly recommend. Scott won my case and I never even had to make an appearance in court if you have an OUI conviction there is no better attorney to handle your case

Posted by Damien | October 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Beyond Expectations

I recently hired Scott as my attorney for a OUI case in Cumberland County. As I had requested, my case was settled in a few months and the outcome was better than I thought was possible. I consulted other attorneys in the area, but they only told me of worst case scenario's and unbelievable high fe...es. Then I found Scott. He gave me reasonable expectations at a reasonable price. He told me what our approach would be, as well as what he thought would happen each step of the way. Well, he was right about the direction things would take, but he was wrong about the outcome....my disposition was WAY better than he had originally suggested I could expect. The entire process was painless and he was there every step of the way. You can tell by seeing him in the courtroom that he is a respected member of the legal community and he has the ability to back up what he says. It's not that I would say that Scott Gardner is the best choice....I'm saying he should be your ONLY choice.

Best result possible

Scott was helpful, polite, & very respectful throughout the entire process. I truly believe he achieved the best possible result for my case.

Success/ Integrity

Prompt communication, honesty, trust, realistic outcomes, negotiations skills and overall integrity are words to describe Scott Gardner. He did not promise unrealistic expectations but provided hope in dealing with a very difficult and complicated case. His experience and contacts lead to a succes...sful case however, the case is never truly over because there are still ramifications for future decisions made by my son.

Scott D Gardner , an experienced compassionate attorney with backbone and credibility.

Scott made a complete assessment of the situation and addressed the issues by putting me at ease. He radiated positive energy and continued his responsive communication over the course of several weeks with a sense of command , offering support and a rare level of deep trust . Anyone would be well as...sured if they consulted Scott and put him to the test on their behalf.

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.
