Highly recommend!
I came across Attorney Gardner's website when searching for a lawyer that could handle my difficult case. I was in need of an attorney who was knowledgeable in restoring my license in Ohio while currently holding an out of state license. He was very knowledgeable in knowing what steps to take in orde...

Intrusive and unprofessional...
Was very unprofessiona called me a loser when I sidnt do what he wanted. He shouldnt even be a lawyer a real hot head. Was in trouble with the bar a few years ago. Beware. Do not hire him.
Dear Anonymous: I apologize for the pain & discomfort I've apparently caused you. Please forgive me. I care about my clients. I'll do whatever it takes to get them out of their legal troubles and get themselves back on the path that leads to a better life, one with a lot less time behind bars, and less money being spent on courts fines. Sometimes that entails "shaking a person" to help him become aware of the repeated foolish/harmful patterns of behavior that he's engaging in, but not seeing it in himself. That vast majority of people appreciate my concern and willingness to treat them not just as a client, but also as a friend who want's to help them. And I readily acknowledge that a minority do not appreciate that (some call it "intrusive and unprofessional"). My concern & intentions will always be directed towards helping my client. Still, I am sorry for the obvious pain I've caused you. Hope you feel better from it shortly.

I wouldn't want anyone else on my side in traffic court
I had a pretty hefting moving violation (30+ over, and in an inactive construction zone) and wasn't really sure what to do. I contacted Mark via email right before going to bed to get an opinion and he called me first thing in the morning the next day. He explained exactly what he could do and how ...

A Great Lawyer, With Great Results
I was introduced to Mark by a colleague after a DUI in 2014. It had not been my first DUI, so I was not looking at a slap on a wrist. I was looking for the best Lawyer for my situation (Multiple Offender, Summit County (Stow Court)), and I was lucky enough to find him. Mark will shoot you straight an...

He is an excellent lawyer!
I had an issue and emailed him.he responded very quickly, gave me all the information I neededand I would recommend him highly to anyone that has an issue.
"Mr. Gardner is an exceptional attorney. Although I have been practicing law for 24 years as a judge, magistrate, law professor, prosecutor, and private attorney, I learn from his responses on Avvo every time that he posts. If I needed an attorney, I would hire him. I recommend him with no reservation. It would be the best investment of your life to hire him to represent you."
"Mark is a great advocate who always puts his clients interest first. He is very knowledgeable and skilled in representing his clients. I have no hesitation in recommending to person who finds himself charged with a crime,"
"I endorse this lawyer. Mark is an exceptional and distinguished DUI and criminal defense attorney. His untiring zeal in the pursuit of truth and justice for his clients is exceptional. Moreover, Mark serves as a leader among his peers in Ohio by helping other lawyers improve their knowledge and trial skills. I commend Mark’s approach to DUI and criminal defense and I am grateful for the example he sets for his peers."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mark is a contributor to a resource shared by those practicing DUI defense. He is tough, smart and indefatigable. If you have a DUI in greater Cleveland, you'd be wise to hire him. Think you can't afford him? You CAN'T afford NOT to hire him."
"This profile should list that Mark was zealously defending his client when he was reprimanded by the Supreme Court. Perhaps it was overly passionate plea on behalf of his client but he is an excellent attorney."
"I have had privilege of speaking at numerous seminars that Mr. Gardner was also speaking at. Mark shares his ideas and work products without expecting anything in return. He is a frequent and highly sought after speaker at Continuing Legal Education seminars on the topic of DUI/OVI defense. If I were charged with OVI, I would want Mark Gardner representing me!"

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.
Suspension For Term issued in OH, 2003
updated on 02/16/2019Suspended for term means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
“As the saying goes, “To err is human, to forgive is divine.” To which I’ll add: “To drain language of it's ordinary meaning is quite judicial, and the results rarely divine." Especially for me in this case. Truth IS the most important commodity we have in this life.”
