I am originally from Germany, have lived in Mexico and the US, studied in the US and graduated with a B.A in Linguistics from UCLA and then from the Southwestern Unibversity School of Law. I have been in practice since 1991, and from the onset had my own practice in Santa Clarita, CA and Lancaster, CA. I currently maintain only the Lancaster office but do appear in all courts, including appellate courts. It is my goal to handle any matter taking the client's concerns into account, not to increase fees unnecessarily, while representing my clients vigorously keeping their best interest at heart. I do not handle divorces on a flat fee basis since I can only predict my fees, but cannot predict what opposing partyor counsel will do and whether their actions increase fees is out of my control.

Best Attorney in the Valley hands down
Elke was referred to me as my current attorney was leaving. Elke has been the best thing to happen to me since my ex filed on me in 2008. I have had 3 or 4 different attorneys in the valley and all of them did nothing but take my money, and produce zero results. Elke is a very take charge attorney...

A/E
Ms. Schardt was always available for consultation any time during the week day and quickly reviewed all documentation E-mailed to her. I am very happy with the results and will use her services again if needed. I was pleased on her knowledge of my Corporate matter.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Elke Gordon Schardt for 29 years. We took our bar exams together, and became close friends in the process. Elke practices mainly in family law matters, but she also handles probation cases as well. I have always found her advice to be sound and honest, and her costs to be fair. She explains the situation clearly, and gives her clients enough information to make good choices about how to proceed. She will not waste her time or her client's money pursuing courses of action that have little chance of prevailing in court. She is very straightforward in her approach to law, and to life. Additionally, she is very smart, remains cool under pressure, and knows how to serve her client's interests while earning the judge's respect with her professionalism. She is a good negotiator, and always tries to resolve cases amicably, especially if child custody is involved. Finally, she speaks English, Spanish and German fluently. She's a great lawyer!"
"I endorse Ms. Gordon-Schardt. She represents her clients very well but is always willing to discuss a fair settlement that saves the clients from unnecessary litigation costs."
"I endorse this lawyer. Elke does a good job for her clients without needless and unnecessary protracting of contested matters."
