Quashed warrant

My experience with Whitney was exceptional! I contacted Whitney to have a warrant quashed for a friend that was in custody and within two weeks the warrant was quashed and the case was closed. She was very quick to respond and answered all questions I had in a timely manner! I highly recommend her!

Whitney has represented my son a few times over the past years. Because of her hard work and dedication he was released to another facility for treatment. It was approximately a year and a half earlier than he would have gotten out. Whitney has been professional, thoughtful, thorough.and very knowled...geable. i would recommend Whitney highly. She takes the time to know her client and do whatever is in their best interest. She also knows the Judges and prosecutors very well, which helped his case. You absolutely can not go wrong with Whitney! We appreciate very much all she has done for my son !

Best advocate

Whitney is the master of family law. She immediately could read how my case would play out before even drafting a single document. Her expertise and kindness helped us win full custody.

Pofessional and Personable

Whitney was recommended to me by my parents attorney, as a well respected Family Law attorney near my home. She exceeded that recommendation by not only helping me through the very emotional process of family court proceedings but also being a huge positive influence and support system. Whitney has c...ontinued to keep in touch and help me with a few other legal obligations since our original introduction in 2011. I cannot express what a unique individual Whitney is, how truly caring, non judgmental and efficient she really is. Whitney is not a common find and you should consider yourself lucky if selecting her in your search for legal advise and assistance.

one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with & unfort. iv needed a lot of em!

Whitney gardner was an exceptional attorney! She was appointed to me by the courts & she provided excellent legal advice & was a great defense attorney for me. She was willing to fight for me in the courtroom & was able to negotiate a plea bargain in which I was very satisfied with. During my case sh...e was dealing with some overwhelming hurdles that she was able to deal with and still manage to provide top-notch service for her clients. She wasn't originally appointed to me. I was app. Another lawyer first but he left the practice before I even met him. She had taken my case on after i was appointed to her and was probably overwhelmed with the leaving attorneys cases. Under the circumstances I felt she went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the outcome of my case. I would absolutely recommend whitney gardner to anyone who needs legal advice or an attorney with tenacity. If I ever needed an attorney again I would certainly consider her again. Thankyou for all your help whitney you are an awesome lawyer. Best wishes. -corey

Family lawyer | Jun 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have faced Ms. Gardner in court and she is a formidable opponent. She knows the family law court system in King County very well helping her wade through the system in a way that benefits her clients. She can be quite unforgiving and ruthless in court which makes her an effective advocate on behalf of her clients. I have also had the opportunity to see Ms. Gardner in court on other matters including criminal matters and she is very effective in representing her clients. Her reputation is good within the community and local judges respect her. I highly recommend this attorney."
