Law Offices of Michael A. Scafiddi, INC

If you ever have legal issues in San Bernardino County, do NOT rely on the Conflict Panel or Public Defender. Please call the Law Offices of Michael A. Scafiddi and ask for Chris Gardner -- he is the real deal. An old parole violation for my brother came up a few months ago, so we went to court to get it resolved. We explained to his appointed conflict-panel attorney that the issue happened during COVID and my brother had been released at that time. When we appeared in court, the judge simply called his name, said "parole violation," and took him into custody with no bail. We were shocked. We were given another court date 30 days later for sentencing. During those 30 days, I tried repeatedly to reach the public defender and was told to contact the same conflict-panel attorney -- but his website was down, there was no email, and his voicemail was full. I could not reach him the entire month my brother sat in jail. At the next hearing, that same attorney told us the judge wanted to give my brother two years. We again explained that this all happened during COVID and there was clearly a mistake, but nothing changed -- still no bail, still in custody. I started calling attorneys all over San Bernardino. After days of getting nowhere, I finally found Chris Gardner -- and everything changed. He listened to us, understood the facts, answered every call or called me back the same day, and responded quickly to texts and emails. I immediately knew we had found the right attorney. When Chris showed up to court, it was obvious he was respected -- everyone greeted him warmly. The conflict-panel attorney was still pushing for two years, but Chris got my brother released, the case terminated, and no probation. Do not go to court unrepresented. Go with someone you can trust and who knows the system. Chris Gardner saved my brother two years of his life. A huge thank-you to Chris!

More Than Just an Attorney -- He Was Our Lifeline I will forever be grateful for Christopher Gardner. When my son was facing a juvenile case, I was terrified and didn't know what to expect. From the very beginning, he showed compassion, understanding, and a genuine concern for my son's well-being. His initial return call was when I lost all hope. I was hysterical and could barely speak. He was calm, reassuring and a breath of fresh air off that first call I knew we had to have him at my son's side. What stood out the most was how quickly he took action. He knew just what I needed and that was a distraction for the day prior to my son's court date. My son was released at his very first court appearance, which meant everything to me as a mother who was so lost. Chris didn't just handle the case; he gave my family peace of mind during one of the scariest times in our lives. He truly treated my son like a person, not a case file, and made sure we always knew what was happening and what to expect. I can't thank him enough for his dedication and for truly fighting for my son's future. If you want someone who not only knows the law but truly cares -- this is the attorney you want by your side!

Michael and his team helped me out throughout my case. I was extremely nerves since I had a family to take care of. I truly thank you all for all your hard work and dedication. Michael wasn't only representing me in court but also truly cares about his clients.

I want to deeply thank Michael and his son, Anthony Scafiddi, for helping me through the most difficult time in my life. I was facing two serious felony charges and the possibility of significant jail time. From my very first conversation with Michael, I knew he was the attorney I needed. Michael and Anthony stood by me every step of the way, fighting tirelessly for my freedom even when the odds were against me. Their strong defense strategy led to a plea deal that ultimately kept me out of jail. My family and I will forever be grateful to these outstanding gentlemen for their dedication, professionalism, and compassion.

Michael Scafiddi and his team were absolutely outstanding. From my very first call with Michael, I felt truly heard and understood--his genuine care and empathy came through right away. The entire Scafiddi team is professional, compassionate, and excellent at communication, both within their office and with their clients. They guided me step by step through the court requirements and connected me with the right support resources I needed.
