Gregory Christopher Gardner

If you ever have legal issues in San Bernardino County, do NOT rely on the Conflict Panel or Public Defender. Please call the Law Offices of Michael A. Scafiddi and ask for Chris Gardner — he is the real deal. An old parole violation for my brother came up a few months ago, so we went to court to ...get it resolved. We explained to his appointed conflict-panel attorney that the issue happened during COVID and my brother had been released at that time. When we appeared in court, the judge simply called his name, said “parole violation,” and took him into custody with no bail. We were shocked. We were given another court date 30 days later for sentencing. During those 30 days, I tried repeatedly to reach the public defender and was told to contact the same conflict-panel attorney — but his website was down, there was no email, and his voicemail was full. I could not reach him the entire month my brother sat in jail. At the next hearing, that same attorney told us the judge wanted to give my brother two years. We again explained that this all happened during COVID and there was clearly a mistake, but nothing changed — still no bail, still in custody. I started calling attorneys all over San Bernardino. After days of getting nowhere, I finally found Chris Gardner — and everything changed. He listened to us, understood the facts, answered every call or called me back the same day, and responded quickly to texts and emails. I immediately knew we had found the right attorney. When Chris showed up to court, it was obvious he was respected — everyone greeted him warmly. The conflict-panel attorney was still pushing for two years, but Chris got my brother released, the case terminated, and no probation. Do not go to court unrepresented. Go with someone you can trust and who knows the system. Chris Gardner saved my brother two years of his life. A huge thank-you to Chris!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will forever be grateful for Christopher Gardner. When my son was facing a juvenile case, I was terrified and didn’t know what to expect. From the very beginning, he showed compassion, understanding, and a genuine concern for my son’s well-being. His initial return call was when I lost ...all hope. I was hysterical and could barely speak. He was calm, reassuring and a breath of fresh air off that first call I knew we had to have him at my son’s side. What stood out the most was how quickly he took action. He knew just what I needed and that was a distraction for the day prior to my son’s court date. My son was released at his very first court appearance, which meant everything to me as a mother who was so lost. Chris didn’t just handle the case; he gave my family peace of mind during one of the scariest times in our lives. He truly treated my son like a person, not a case file, and made sure we always knew what was happening and what to expect. I can’t thank him enough for his dedication and for truly fighting for my son’s future. If you want someone who not only knows the law but truly cares — this is the attorney you want by your side!

I cannot thank Chris Gardner enough for the incredible work they did on my case. From the very beginning, they fought tirelessly for me and truly believed in my side of the story. Thanks to his dedication, experience, and strong advocacy, I am going to reunited with my children much sooner than I ev...er expected. What truly sets Mr Gardner apart is how much he CARED! Not just about the legal outcome, but about me and my family. He communicated clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and NEVER GAVE UP even when things felt overwhelming. Because of their hard work, the allegations against me were removed from my CFS (Child and Family Services) case, and I’ve been given a fresh start with my children. I will always be grateful for what MR Gardner has done for us. If you’re looking for a juvenile lawyer who truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Chris Gardner!!

Hiring Christopher Gardner at the Law Offices of Michael A. Scafiddi was the best decision we could have ever made for our son. Mr. Gardner was concise, articulate, and explained every step of the process in detail. He was honest, expressing all possible outcomes and options. He listened to us and d...efinitely made us feel heard. We never felt like 'just another client'. We felt he truly cared and wanted to help. We were treated with genuine kindness, understanding and dignity. My family member's case had caught us completely off guard. It was an accusation of an event that occurred years prior. We had never been in this sort of situation before and were lost and devastated. However, our initial meeting with Mr. Gardner and his colleagues left us feeling hopeful. He was very detailed and thorough in compiling all the facts and evidence needed to prove our case. He was specific in what information and documentation we needed to provide to him to help. His communication with us was wonderful. We were never left wondering what was going on. He was always extremely prepared, punctual, a great communicator, returned all our calls and emails promptly, and answered all our questions no matter how small or silly they were. He was patient with the prosecutor, and knew when to push and when to wait. He is what I like to call an intelligent, humble, patient, fighter. He really fought for us. Words can't express how grateful our family is to have had him represent us.
