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!

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!
