Tax Attorney and Business Leader

My family and businesses have relied on Mr. Gardner for many legal issues for over 10 years. He is an extremely conscientious, accurate and knowledgable attorney. In extremis with the IRS, he has represented my case professionally, yet always forcing the issue of constitutionality and rule of law. Hi...s personal demeanor is cheerful, engaging and always courteous. With the many years of corporate experience, Gardner also directs legal advice for our best business decisions. Mr. Gardner's resume is incredible. He has graduated from some of the most esteemed universities in the land, has achieved CPA credentials and served with several top law firms in the nation. Armed with this heritage, it is amazing that smaller companies like ours have the opportunity to realize the breadth and depth of his experience. We consider Mr. Garner not only our tax attorney, but also General Counsel in affecting much more broad aspects of entrepreneurial business. I would strongly recommend Mr. Gardner as one-stop for business advice, support and direction pertaining to tax and legal matters. In addition, he is a class act, holds all conversations and transactions in the strictest of confidence and is a man of integrity. A strong Christian leader in the community, a wonderful husband and dad and the best friend a man could have both personally and professionally.

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.
