James has been my attorney for the past four years, representing me in a very challenging family law case. This involved contesting a common law marriage claim, an unjust enrichment claim, a child support dispute, multiple mediations, a TOP, and a parenting plan. He went above and beyond in assisting me, answering my questions, and navigating the family court system. I am extremely grateful to him and highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer. He is professional, yet very personable, always asking about my kids. I genuinely felt that he cared about my family and our situation and that we weren't just another case he had to get through. I know for a fact that I wouldn't have achieved the outcomes I did without his help. He is a shark in the courtroom, which is exactly what you need when dealing with an abusive ex-partner. James was always on top of everything, never missing any important details, which was incredible considering how extensive my case had become over the years. I will always be grateful for everything he has done for me and my kiddos.

In July 2024 I found myself in need of personal legal advice. I contacted James at Big Sky Justice for professional advice.

Amazingly, James met with me the same day I contacted his office and spent over an hour advising me regarding my issue.

Upon completing our meeting I asked what I owed for his service. James told me he does not charge for an initial consultation and I did not owe him for the time he spent advising me. Amazing!

Not feeling it was fair to not pay James for his service, I sent him a letter and check for what I thought was his hourly rate.

The check I sent never cleared my bank account , so today I called James' office and found out that James had voided the check that I sent his firm

I can't speak more highly of James and the service he provided me. My experience truely is in sharp contrast to the horror stories people tell regarding their lawyer experiences.

I want to express my thanks to James and highly recommend Big Sky Justice should you find yourself in need of legal services.

James and Lacey helped me through my divorce 5 years ago and I continue to use them to update child custody situations with my ex as needed. He is excellent in court as well as in mediation.

He completely changed my perception of lawyers—he truly cares about his clients and is passionate about helping others going through difficult times.

Highly recommend.

I can’t thank them enough! James and Lacey are very professional, every stage of the proceedings I received clear, concise emails detailing the current status with an operational look ahead and estimated timescale. James ensured that I fully understood every situation and the potential outcomes of each decision. I was given excellent advice on which route to follow based on his own experience. Every email I received from Lacey had obviously been carefully considered and thoughtfully worded yet delivered in good time. Should I ever need similar services again I will go back to lawyer James Gardner without questions asked based on my experience in this case. I will also be recommending James Gardner to my friends and family. 😊

James and Lacey are absolutely the best. They helped me through the process of getting custody of my oldest son, and I couldn't have made it through the court process without them. James is a true professional - he's knowledgeable, he's personable, and he's reliable. He and Lacey are great communicators, and I always felt my case was in good, competent hands. Their efforts meant the world to me while my family and I were going through this process. I really couldn't thank them enough, and I definitely recommend them to anyone out there.

I am very grateful for the help I received from James F. Gardner and Lacey Lindeman. They represented me for the last 2.5 years through my divorce. When I first meet them I was anxious, but they showed me great empathy by meeting me where I was at in my understanding about the divorce process. They explained everything in detail while ensuring that I was not overwhelmed. At a time of uncertainty, I am glad that James was my voice. He is honest, confident and very professional. He would look to take the high road and always acted in good faith. Lacey is very compassionate and attentive. She would keep me updated on everything regarding my case and was prompt with sending me any documentation. James and Lacey looked out for the best interest of my kids and I, which was evident because my case turned out better than I could’ve hoped for. I have a lot of respect for James and Lacey and I highly recommend them.

James has been our family attorney for years and never fails to impress! James and Lacey are very attentive and informational when it came to my court hearings and court documentation. Even as a young mom who’s never experienced court before I felt very comfortable and at ease with James representing me and Lacey making sure I was in the know about everything behind the scenes with my case. 10/10 recommended Big Sky Justice and James for counsel! They rocked my custody case with flying colors!
