“The Lawyer Who Gets It Done—Dismissals, Respect, and Results”

I can’t say enough good things about Ryan Gardner and his amazing team. He went above and beyond in what I believe are two of the toughest counties in Indiana—Elkhart and Whitley County. Without me ever having to step into a courtroom, Ryan had both of my cases completely dismissed, including a proba...tion violation tied to a DOC sentence. And if you know anything about Whitley County, you know **they don’t drop cases—**but they did mine. Ryan was phenomenal every step of the way, and his incredible secretary, Jane, deserves just as much praise. They both personally answered every one of my questions, made direct phone calls themselves, explained every detail with care and clarity, and delivered exactly what I asked for. This team doesn’t just represent you—they fight for you. I’ve recommended them to everyone I know and will continue to do so. If you want someone who gets results and treats you with respect every step of the way, Ryan Gardner is the attorney you want by your side.

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.
