David Gardner is the principal attorney of the Gardner Law Firm. With over thirty five years of experience, he is committed to the successful resolution of his client’s cases. Since opening the Gardner Law Firm twenty five years ago, he has represented thousands of individuals in a variety of legal matters, and takes pride in ensuring that they obtain the best results possible, whether it is by settling their dispute, or by judicial resolution. Before any settlement is reached, David ensures that his clients know what is likely to occur if their case proceeds to trial, and that they are fully informed of the alternatives to litigation. However, if your case cannot be settled, he is committed to representing you as zealously and vigorously as the law allows. He takes pride in the quality of services offered by his firm, and is personally available to meet his clients any time they have a question or need his advice.

As an active litigator, Mr. Gardner appears in the courts in Maryland and the District of Columbia on a regular basis. He has represented hundreds of clients in contested divorce, family law, criminal, personal injury and civil cases.  He has also resolved hundreds of cases by agreement, thereby reducing the stress and financial impact of their disputes. He understands that the court process can be intimidating and confusing to clients, and does his best to simplify the process while making sure that his clients are fully prepared for trial. With over 30 years of trial experience, Mr. Gardner knows how to be an effective advocate, and has obtained favorable outcomes for thousands of clients.  He is AV rated, the highest rating by Martindale-Hubble, national lawyer rating agency.

In addition to his trial experience, Mr. Gardner also acts as a facilitator for the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, in which role he assists the Court by mediating cases when they are first heard at a scheduling conference. He believes that a settlement is almost always preferable to trial, and is trained in the collaborative divorce process. He has also been appointed by the Circuit Court as a best interest attorney, in which capacity he represents children in contested custody cases.

As a general litigation attorney, Mr. Gardner also represents individuals in other matters that proceed to trial, such as personal injury, community association and criminal cases. This experience has provided him with a broad range of legal knowledge, which he brings to every legal matter he handles. He has also represented clients in appeals to the Maryland Appellate Courts.

Mr. Gardner is also actively involved with his family and in his community. He currently serves on the Ethics Committee and is an active member of the Family Law Section of the Montgomery County Bar Association. He serves on the Montgomery County Commission on Common Ownership Communities (CCOC) as an Professional - Attorney representative, is a member of the Community Association Institute, and has served as President of the Greater Olney Civic Association, and as a member of the Ashton-Sandy Spring Master Plan Committee. He currently lives in Ashton, Maryland, and is the proud father of four children, two of whom are currently attending college. When he is not working, he plays ice hockey on two men’s league hockey teams, is an avid Washington Capitals fan, golfer, and is a member of the National Ski Patrol.

Mr. Gardner was admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1981; the District of Columbia Bar in 1985; the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in 1985; and the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986. He graduated from the the University of Maine in 1976, and from the American University, Washington College of Law, where he received his J.D. in 1981.

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Does Getting a Document Notarized Make It "Legal"?
The public's perception of what a notary does and what notarization accomplishes is often incorrect. This is particularly the case when a person brings a document to a notary public to be notarized, thinking that the notarization will in some way "legalize" the document or make it "official." Learn more here.
Unmarried? You Are Not Alone, But You Still Need a Plan
Did you know that in many instances, it is even more important that a single person have a well-coordinated estate plan, than a married couple. This is because the default laws governing estates often work poorly for people without a spouse and may not adequately provide for a significant other or unmarried partner. Having a cohesive and well-drafted estate plan will ensure that you protect and provide for those you truly care about upon your death. Learn more here.
When an Adult Needs a Guardian of Property
There are two types of guardianships: a guardianship of the person and a guardianship of the property (also known as a guardianship of the estate or a conservatorship). A guardian of the person is responsible for the ward’s physical safety and well-being. A guardian of the property is responsible for the ward’s money and assets. Learn more here.
