Gregory Christopher Gardner

Chris Gardner was an extraordinary source of support for our family during one of the most stressful experiences we have ever faced. From the beginning, he treated us with compassion, patience, and respect. He took the time to explain the process, answer our many questions, counsel us carefully, and ...contact the District Attorney’s office on our behalf. Although the matter was resolved before Chris ever needed to represent us in court, his guidance was immeasurably valuable. Knowing that we had someone so knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in our family gave us tremendous peace of mind. Chris’s integrity, kindness, and willingness to stand beside our family during such a difficult time are things we will never forget. We could not recommend Chris Gardner more highly. He is an exceptional attorney and an even better human being.

Have You ever dealt with your child being bullied and the day they do self defense, they get labeled as a bad person, With a possible expulsion and arrest. Well let me tell you; We hired Christopher Gardener because he specialize in both juvenile defense and education law. This dual expertise was vit...al since our situation involved both potential school expulsion and potential legal matters. He managed to keep the matter out of the juvenile court system while securing a short-term suspension and dropped the recommended expulsion. He was professional, always available for questions, and made a complex process feel so much easier.He identified critical procedural errors the school made and got my child back to school with a clean transcript. Christopher Gardener not only heard us but fought for us. His knowledge of the California Education Code was evident, and he kept our child's record clear for future college applications and career opportunities. He Truly is a lifesaver for our family! I highly recommend you hire Christopher gardener as your lawyer, you won’t regret it .

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 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.
