Jennifer B Gardner

I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. At the time, I was working with another attorney on a complicated business dispute, but that attorney no longer handled litigation work. Once it became clear litigation would be necessary, I began searching for the right counsel. Supporting women-owned business...es is important to me, so I focused on finding a competent female attorney in the Los Angeles area who owned her own firm. I’m beyond grateful that search led me to Jennifer. We scheduled a meeting between the three of us so she could be brought up to speed on the case. Afterwards, my original attorney told me I had made an excellent choice and Jennifer would be perfect for what I needed. At the time, I had no idea how absolutely right that was. Jennifer clearly and patiently explained legal procedures and terminology throughout my case. If I misunderstood something or was misinformed, she would calmly explain the facts without ever making me feel less than. That level of respect and clarity makes a huge difference when dealing with a complicated legal situation. Jennifer was honest about risks, open to a collaborative approach, and always made sure I had a voice in strategy. At the same time, she was aggressive when needed and fought hard for my interests. I always knew I had someone firmly in my corner, and I grew to trust her immensely. Jennifer is widely known for her expertise in real estate law, but she also handled my business dispute with impressive skill. She is upbeat but direct, extremely capable, and keeps things structured so matters move forward without unnecessary costs or wasted time. She owns her own firm and works incredibly hard for her clients. In an industry that can still feel like a boys’ club, she is a formidable advocate. If you need an attorney who is sharp, responsive, and relentless in protecting your interests, call Gardner & Associates.

If you are looking for legal representation, I can say with 100% confidence: “look no further!”. Jennifer B. Gardner is the perfect combination of a kind considerate “people’s person” and a highly professional straight-shooting “fighter”. She understands and acknowledges the level of stress a clie...nt (and parties involved) is likely to experience when situations get to a point where an attorney is needed, as well as during the process of solving a case. She also understands the power of words and is therefore a master of formulating incredible sentences on the spot; to the point in exactly the right tone that’s most effective for the moment, because she is very good at gauging a situation not only by looking at the facts in play but also taking the ‘human factor’ into consideration. Which, in my case, resulted in a tactful approach; reasonable, firm, and demanding, yet nicely wrapped in amicable non-offensive language. By the time I decided that I needed a lawyer I couldn’t see the forrest for the trees because my case involved a lot factors of which I couldn’t judge their relevance anymore. I did an online search and as soon as I stumbled upon some articles written by Jennifer I knew she was ‘the one’, because everything I read completely resonated with me. She was available for an online phone consultation the very next day and my instincts were right; we had a very pleasant conversation in which she took the time to hear me out and make sense of it all, upon which she was able to narrow it down to it’s essence and lay out several possibilities on how to proceed. A huge weight fell off my shoulders because I knew I was in good hands. In order to form the right strategy, some research was required to make sure we had all our facts straight and to cover our bases depending on different potential responses from the other party. She advised me on things I could do myself in order to cut costs. It took a few weeks and frequent communication to formulate the ultimate Demand Letter, which proved to be instantly effective because in the first phone conversation between Jennifer and the other party my demands were met, actually I got even more than I asked for! That conversation must have gone really well because the other party expressed their relief and gratitude for coming to a solution. I am convinced that the way Jennifer formulated the demand letter led to this gratifying result and that her amicable way of handling things resulted in zero conflict. There was a brief moment when some important final details needed to be negotiated and Jennifer had to play hard-ball with the other lawyer while it came down to a few crucial minutes. While driving and consulting with me, she was able to narrow down a complicated matter into one genius undeniable sentence. I was astonished! It was very impressive to see her ‘fighter’ side in action, haha! Thank you Jennifer, for being an amazing genuine human being and the most badass attorney in town!

The process to obtain a restraining order is beyond intimidating. There is no way I could have navigated this without her. Jennifer is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and committed to her clients. She walked me through every step, prepared thorough and compelling declarations, and w...as by my side for every hearing. We prevailed, and I am so grateful for her expertise, experience, and support.

My wife and I had been fighting a property line dispute with the city of Los Angeles and a challenging Neighbor for over seven years when we first hired Jennifer Gardner. She was the fourth attorney we hired in seven years to help us solve this extremely complicated case involving property lines draw...n nearly 100 years ago. This situation got so far out of hand that the city of Los Angeles pressed criminal charges against us! Jennifer was able to unravel this complex quagmire and brought clarity, and I'm sure, the best solution possible for all parties involved. I wish we had met Jennifer earlier because her three predecessors could not get anywhere with this case. All they managed to do was to get us deeper in trouble! It took many hours of diligent effort on Jennifer's part to figure out a final solution for us. She could figure out what remedies were available to us through the law and the rules of the city planners. Finally, Jennifer helped us end this nightmare by acquiring specific permits to use the disputed sections of the property. It would take me more than 4000 words to explain everything that Jennifer had to do to relieve us from the criminal peril and put everything in legal order. Instead, I will say that I would highly recommend Jennifer Gardner to anyone looking for help in a dispute with a city bureaucracy. She is well versed in the rules and laws that pertain to such matters. Also, she has a way with people. Her communication skills are outstanding, and her knowledge and comprehension of these complex laws are extensive. She has taken a great weight off our shoulders!

When I finally forced myself to address a longstanding situation involving a neighbor, I automatically intuited that I would need an expert who could not only negotiate the legal system, but just as importantly, effectively deploy the language that the legal system actually utilizes. Jennifer patient...ly crafted a cogent narrative out of my experiences; she knew exactly how to shape those experiences in ways understandable to the court. I found Jennifer's consistent self-assuredness to be very comforting as she led me through the process of making my ordeal visible to the individual who eventually ruled in our favor. I would not hesitate to call upon Jennifer in the future, should I again require an attorney to help me defend myself against opportunistic and unprincipled people. Jennifer is the consummate professional: In her one will find the forbearance of a saint combined with the fortitude of a soldier.
