Would highly recommended to anyone dealing with any family or custody issues. I didn’t get the exact outcome I would’ve wished for, but that was to no fault on Brandon Gardner or his office at all. He was professional, logical, and yet still compassionate throughout the whole process. He was realistic and able to bring me back to earth to make logical decisions when emotions were high, which was NEEDED when dealing with the situation I had. I will definitely return, if ever needed. He’s not the kind of lawyer you just get and settle for. He’s one that’s WORTH it, and gets it DONE! Gives some pretty great advice as well! He will definitely fight for you, and isn’t here to mess around, or just take your money. Which is pretty amazing and highly respectable.

The judical misconduct preformed by Brandon Gardner towards me in court was very embarrasing. I dont know of any attorney that will stand infront of a judge and discredit his client because of their civil rights being violated to the extent Brandon states that he was ashamed of me as his client for filing a civil rights law suit against the state and county due to the very case he wants out of representing. I never met Brandon and didnt hire Brandon I hired Karla Tankut who was with his law firm unfortantly Karla resigned from the firm and Brandon took over my case. I was quoted at $5,000 dollar retainer and she didnt think that would even be all used i was on a payment plan until Brandon took over and stated he couldnt accept payments on a fraud case my case isnt even fraud. Brandon then stated he was withdrawing if i couldnt pay $24,000 to go to trial. Brandon never met me, he never spoke to me about my case. Brandon lied under oath by saying he didnt know i filed a lawsuit when karla stated she spoke with Brandon and showed him the violations of my civil rights with Michigan State Police Internal affairs ruling Msp violated policy for my arrest. Karla told me I needed to file with someone else because their firm doesnt handle unlawful arrest like their website states it does , and they dont handle civil suits , but Brandon told the judge he was appauled and very sorry his client took action against the courts over my rights being violated during my case. Nobody deserves to be treated like this. This firm will take your deposite and find reason to drop you. I paid $1000 dollars used only $230 dollars and Brandon says i now owe hin over two grand? Im unsure but id surely hope Brandon realizes his actions could potentially be considered a violation of his duty and misconduct.

Very rude and unprofessional. Doesn't like to hear what you have to say. Glad I learned this about the guy before I hired him. Just from my conversation with him I wouldn't do business with this disrespectful guy.

Hi I recently have made a mistake and disobeyed the law. And Mr. Gardner was my attorney for my sentencing. I want to say he made me feel so comfortable and I was nervous but he got up and I barely had to say a word. He is extremely confident and has reason to be. Therefore do not hesitate to call! He is great at what he does and I went home. He will fight for you. Again
Thank You for your help your the best!

Spoke with Brandon on the telephone where he provided excellent advice regarding a recent auto accident. I could not be happier with his kindness, consideration, and patience speaking with me at length without an appointment on short notice.

Had a slip and fall injury while in town back in 2022. Brandon took the case knowing I was on Medicaid meaning I wouldn't be able to bill my treatment to the state. Months later I 'm told I didn't have enough medical and they couldn't find Staybridge Suites: Grand Rapids - Airport
3000 Lake East Brook Blvd, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 49512. He did return my funds. Just wasted my time.

We are so thankful to have Mrs. Karla Tankut and Brandon Gardner & Associates, LLC on our side. Mrs. Tankut has been very dedicated to our specific situation, staying on top of messages, e-mails and calls. Communication has been great. I would recommend Mrs. Tankut if you’re in need of a good lawyer.

I hired this firm to represent me based on a Google search and review ratings for on an OWI charge of point 06 for which I paid a $2500.00 retainer fee. I discussed my case over the phone with an associate Even Hubner. A few weeks go by and I receive a summons to appear at court. I called Even and received a notification that his phone was disconnected. I call the office and was told he is no longer with the firm and Brandon will take over and to disregard the summons. A week later I received a Contempt of Court letter for failure to appear. I call the office and once again was told to disregard, it was sent in error and they will deal with it.
A week later, I receive a letter from Gardner and Associates saying to appear at court for my sentencing for pleading guilty which I never did. Another call to the office, another excuse to disregard. Weeks later, we finally meet at the court house to discuss my case and try to settle with the prosecutor. Brandon recommend that I accept the charge and directed me to interview for the Sobriety Court for a. 06 OWI. I was told by someone that deals with legal issues that I needed second opinion from a real attorney because I was being screwed on representation and by the prosecuting attorneys office . After consultation with attorney Jeff Crampton, I terminated my contract with Brandon Gardner & Associates and hired Jeff.
Last week I went to court in front of a Jury of six and was found not guilty by unanimous decision on not only the. 06 OWI, but also failure to yield causing great bodily injury. If you're looking for an attorney to represent you then move on from this firm. They are here for nothing but to take your $2,500, mail a couple incorrect forms which has caused incredible anxiety and stress on me and my wife and then tell you to you accept the charge and try for Sobriety Court. They are not here to represent you to the best of their ability. I know the response to this review is going to say we don't even know who this person is, this is a false review. It is not, I'm on record at 63rd District Court.
It's obvious that to me that the positive reviews are solicited and truly do not represent my experience with them. Most of the reviews are from "people" that have only one to two reviews given from them. It's amazing what money can buy now days.

Karla Tankut was everything you ask for in a lawyer. I was fighting a dui charge and she was there with me every step of the way. We had an amazing connection and she was always making sure I was getting everything done that I needed to. She answered every question I had and didn’t fail to get my charge reduced. She got it to where I only had fines, while being by my side through the entire trial. Hands down I don’t think somebody could’ve done a better job than her!
