The law is not always clear, either to those who practice law, or everyday citizens.  Often, there are numerous assumptions, misguided beliefs or even just outright incorrect information that makes its way through the non-legal world, which makes it difficult to understand why a charge has been brought against you.  Every crime has “elements” that must be met if a conviction is to be obtained.  A consult with one of the attorneys at Gardner & Burks, P.C., is the best way to begin to understand your case and prepare to fight it.

Yes.  If you have been charged with an offense, we offer consults on criminal and traffic matters free of charge.

In a majority of cases, we are able to offer a “flat fee” to represent you on a criminal or traffic offense.  Once you have consulted with Gardner & Burks, P.C., an attorney will propose a flat fee to handle your matter.  This fee is the total amount the firm will charge to cover all the work on your case, whether by the attorneys or staff, or combination thereof.  Please note that any flat fee quote does not include expenses, or payments to persons or entities outside the firm, necessary to handle your case.

Outside of the courtroom, we pride ourselves on our team approach to representation.  We use every available resource and talent from each attorney and staff member to do the best job we can for each client.  Once it is clear that a matter will require a court appearance, you will attend court with the one, or sometimes more than one, attorney who is positioned to get the best result for any given hearing or issue.
