Barbara Gardner is the epitome of professionalism

I could trust Ms. Gardner with my life. She is very knowledgeable in employment law and has educated me on legal processes and requirements. I have consistently been provided any information relative to my claims by Ms. Gardner and have been kept apprised of any and all actions. She is very timely... in her responses to me and she is tough when it comes to defending ones rights.

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.
