What are People Saying

  • The Best Defense Attorney money can buy - very Professional and Responsive. Jason Gardner went above and beyond to completely clear my name of wrongful charges and treated me and my family with the utmost of respect in the process. Could not recommend him more!

  • I wanted to take a moment and share my experience with Jason Gardner. I had been served with a Civil Protection Order by a person who I knew would go into court and tell lies. I immediately realized I needed competent, aggressive representation to get in the trenches and fight for me. I was put in contact with Mr. Garder, and after a short interview, I knew I had the right attorney. Mr. Gardner's resume was impressive, but what stood out to me in the beginning and all throughout my ordeal was that he sincerely cared about my situation. I wasn't just a number or a paycheck. He spent time explaining his thoughts and suggestions on how we should proceed. His knowledge and competence in every aspect of the case was outstanding. Mr. Gardner will be my first phone call for anything legal, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal advice.

  • I wanted to thank you for representing my son. You were compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable regarding the law. You picked up on things in the case that other attorneys may not have. I appreciate your directness! Thanks so much for getting my son's case dismissed! You did an awesome job! You were worth every penny spent!

  • I want to pass along my praise and respect for attorney Jason Gardner. The original attorney I hired was NOT familiar with the Douglas County Courts and I found myself questioning if I had hired the right person. After a quick consult with Jason, I retained him, and let my original attorney go. Jason was an immediate breathe of fresh air. He knew the DA's office, as he formerly worked there. He knew all the judges, the advocates, the policies, and procedures. It was very comforting to have someone that is confident and knows the inner workings of what is going on. Like most people, I was stressed out and concerned for my future. He gave me a very honest assessment of where I stood and was able to give me possible outcomes going forward. We were able to calmly select a strategy that I was comfortable with and moved forward with success. My case was completely dismissed because Jason knew the law, knew the DA's office, and knew the judges. He has my highest recommendation.

  • We would like to thank attorney Jason Gardner for his excellent representation of our son during a very difficult time. He provided thorough guidance and council. He helped our son see the best possible outcome. When we had questions, he was always very respectful towards us at every turn, and he was able to explain things in a way we could understand. We had initially contacted him in the middle of the night, and from that moment forward, we knew we were in the right hands. Thank you Jason Gardner!

  • Jason Gardner is an amazing attorney! With his knowledge being a former DA himself, he was able to lay out a perfect plan and mitigation with the evidence I provided. I was proven innocent and my charges were dropped!
