Brett H. Gardner

I have prosecuted violent felonies for 29 years. I have advised the police and assistant prosecutors on how to handle violent crime prosecutions and I have been to over 150 homicide scenes as a legal adviser to police investigators. To defend a person charged with a violent crime, you need a vast knowledge of the criminal justice system and what goes on behind the scenes with police and prosecutors. My experience in this area is unmatched.

I have successfully tried hundreds of cases, both felonies and misdemeanors. I have developed an expertise in handling violent, high-profile cases, many of which have received statewide and national coverage. As a trial lawyer, I recognize the importance of preparation, skillful courtroom presentations and knowing when to go to trial and when negotiation is in your best interest.

As a prosecutor for over 29 years, I developed an expertise in the criminal law and the operation of the criminal justice system. I've handled hundreds of cases from drunk driving and domestic violence to murder, kidnapping and extortion. I am an expert in insanity defense cases and have been called upon by lawyers throughout the state to assist them in this area of practice. I'm an adjunct professor at Cooley Law School teaching criminal practice.

As an experienced prosecutor, I understand the impact of a drunk driving arrest. The suspension of your license and a potential jail sentence can take away your ability to provide for your family. I have handled hundreds of these cases and my knowledge of the system can help a person facing a drunk driving charge get the results the need.
