Criminal defence

Lawyer Scott Gardner represented me very well in a U.S. case, all the way to the end of the last court appearance. We had to deal with different country law (QC, Canada), and also different languages. He listened to me, asking about important details of the fact, then analysed all options. He was v...ery kind and human; it Make me feel less pressured and stressed about my case and the process. Then, we finally had a great result with the judgment, ending having lowest find and a small consequence. Thanks, Merci, Scott

Professional, Compassionate, Expert Defense

Scott's even demeanor and proficiency at explaining every aspect of the legal process is a source of great relief. You immediately feel like you are in the presence of highly-skilled expert who will both anticipate all possibilities of what might happen in your case and will explore all potential de...fenses to support his client in the pursuit of the best possible outcome. In my case he got that best possible outcome and I can't thank him enough for his masterful understanding of the law and his compassionate support of his clients. Although I could not have known at the time of my need for representation, finding Scott to be my attorney was the greatest good fortune of this entire process. He is truly amazing.

Knowledgeable and Skilled

From start to finish (about 2.5 years because of the lag in the court system due to Covid) Attorney Scott Gardner and Sharon took care of everything. I never had to worry or was confused about what was expected from me, whether it was documents that needed to be filled out from the court or any upcom...ing dates. For a very stressful situation, Gardner navigated what I thought would be the hardest time of my life effortlessly. Questions I had throughout this long stretch of time (which were a lot), he always answered in a timely manner. Best outcome for the situation at hand.
