Professional Guidance

I have used Ron on several occasions for a variety of issues, both big and small. His expertise, professionalism and ability to make the legal system make sense has always been very welcome. He has always been very good at getting back to me quickly and I have never felt that my case had been put o...n a back burner.

Boat Fiasco

Mr. Gardner was very helpful in assisting me with a previous tenant who abandoned a 24 foot power boat on my property. Due to neglect on the tenant the boat had partially sunk into the lake. I had originally hired a company to remove the boat; however they would not do so without the permission from... the owner. At that time, I found out that the tenant wasn’t even the owner of the boat. When the tenant vacated they provided me with incorrect forwarding addresses and telephone numbers. The City of Seattle imposed a fine of $500 per day if I didn’t remove the boat. Mr. Gardner was very professional and took over the issue for me. The process was painless for me and the results were awesome. I can now enjoy the view without having a partially sunken boat on my property.

Defective and dangerous products lawyer | Aug 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Ron is an outstanding trial attorney and highly respected by his peers. His record of success in jury trials is outstanding. Juries love Ron. I had the pleasure of trying 2 complex trials lasting several weeks with Ron. Our clients were very pleased with the results. His reputation for winning trials causes opposing counsel to try to settle the case before trial instead of facing him at trial. A client should consider themselves fortunate if Ron agrees to represent you."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
