I am sharing my experience with you because I believe that David Gardner, my bk attorney, is an awesome guy who truly cares about you and gets the job done! He has a large breadth of experience and knowledge regarding bankruptcy law and important peripheral information that truly assists when going through this lengthy, challenging process. Glad I had him as my lawyer. David goes the extra distance to make sure you are satisfied. Now, I can start over once again without the overwhelming burden of debt. Thanks so much David! ?

Mr. Gardner helped me a with fairly tricky bankruptcy. He was professional, thorough and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. He was there to answer any questions I had in a timely manner via phone or email.
After my bankruptcy went through with no problems I had something come up with my vehicle. David was there again to answer my questions and help me resolve the situation to my great benefit.

I am very thankful for him and would have to give him my highest recommendation.

Working with David throughout my entire bankruptcy process was an amazing experience. He clearly explained each step, making the process easy to understand. Whenever I had questions, David responded promptly. His thorough and professional approach is highly commendable, and I recommend him without reservation.

If I could give David 10 stars I would. I came to him in desperation with a 'simple ' bankruptcy. David walked me through this process as painlessly as possible, answered my questions, listened to my frustrations and fear. David truly walks the walk and means what he says about helping the little person ' ' breathe while he tackles the big organizations. This is an updated review from a year ago and reposted as recently I discovered one of those organizations is not reporting
payments to credit bureaus . I reached out to David for help and received the same level of amazing support in that he picked up where we left off to help me clean up my numbers.
At the time of this review David's last statement to me was
let me help you deal with this financial entity so you can live your life. Thank you for living up to your words.

David I cannot thank you enough for walking me through a 'simple' and 'not to be feared' bankruptcy. To me it was far from simple and also terrifying and you were kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable throughout. To anyone reading this I cannot recommend David highly enough. He walks the walk and is STILL helping me after my discharge in the 'aftermath' of Chapter 7 ( meaning unlocking accounts that should be unlocked ) . He truly means his statements that he wants to get the big entities off your back. Thank you is just not enough but perhaps this will help someone in the future.
Bless you and yours David.

David Gardner helped us with both our personal and business bankrupsy filings. He made this unfamiliar process to us both easy, and informed us both on what to expect every step of the way.
His rates were by far the most reasonable rates in Sonoma County and David goes above and beyond to what you are being charged.
Both my wife and I feel a huge weight has been lifted off our minds and shoulders and it couldn't have been done so quickly and easily without David Gardner's help.
Thanks David for your hard work, knowledge, guidance, and caring help in allowing us financial peace.

David did a great job helping my daughter deal with a company that had employed a collection agency. He was clear, direct, effective and reasonably priced. I would use his services again.

I can't thank David enough for his hard work and attention to detail in this case. He resolved some complicated issues, reminded me of critical deadlines, and just generally went above and beyond. Also, it was great meeting such an intelligent and eurodite fellow "Slug" (the mascot of the University of California Santa Cruz).

David's knowledge and guidance through what was an incredibly stressful time was reassuring and stablizing. He walked me through a rather involved bankruptcy filing and explained everything in layman's terms, step by step, which helped me set my expectations. He was the perfect "hand hold". If you're in the unfortunate position of needing a bankruptcy attorney, I highly recommend David Gardner. He's an attorney that cares about his clients.
