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!

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.

To those of you who are reading this I hope that I can give you “HOPE” Christopher Gardner represented my son who was facing 16 years and was able to get him down to six years! My son did a year in county, which will count as two years. My son faced many challenges with the public defenders, he went ...through several not to mention judges. I would honestly say this case was complicated. not something any Lawyer would have wanted to pick up. Christopher and his firm colleagues were extremely compassionate and helpful throughout this tough time for our family. I can’t say enough to describe our gratitude towards Christopher and his law firm for the help they have given us. Christopher never sugarcoated anything being straightforward honest explaining every step of the way, we knew what to expect and what to hope for.
