Hard Working Knowledgeable Attorney

Bob, Has helped me with several legal issues. Bob has always handled things in a very professional manner and he has a very broad scope of knowledge of the law. He has always been very responsive and an excellent communicator. All I can say when it comes to legal issues Bob is the attorney I would... want setting next to me in a court of law.

Exceptional Attorney!

Several years ago, on strong family recommendation, my wife and I hired Robert Gardella to help set up our personal trusts. We were so impressed with him – and the experience was so seamless – that we hired him again last year to help settle my sister’s estate after her unexpected passing. Bob is ...a highly competent, client-focused attorney. We found him to be personable, uncommonly honest and exceptionally thorough in whatever legal matter he is addressing. He takes time to understand his clients’ goals and clearly explains his recommended approach to achieving those goals. Perhaps equally important is his responsiveness; he immediately returns calls and email requests for information – sometimes within an hour. We strongly recommend Bob Gardella to anyone requiring the kind of legal assistance he provides. He has earned our trust and, because of that, has become our “go to” attorney for any financial matters that require legal expertise.

perfect experience

when I needed urgent help with a company sueing me I did a quick search for lawyers in my area and found robert. He made time for me that same day and in an hour resolved my my case. Robert explained to me what was going on in a way that gave me complete understanding and releif from worry. He also ...helped me avoid huge expence by making a phone call and securing my removal from the case. The law offices are centrally located and parking is easy. Every aspect of my experience was wonderful .

Thankful for Bob!

I can't say enough great comments about Bob! My case went on for over a year and through it all he was consistent, knowledgable and patient! He not only knows the law well, but he knows the Judges and their decisions well. That makes a huge difference when you try to figure out whether or not you ...have a valid case. Being involved in a court case was not something that I enjoyed, but Bob made sure I was informed and prepared. He always made time to answer my questions. I would highly recommend him!

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.
