Gary Allen Gardner

Debtor & Creditor, Family Law, Wills, Trusts, & Probate (Litigation)

Traverse City, Michigan

Personal Introduction

With more than 28 years of experience, I enjoy solving problems for individuals. For most matters, that can be done most effectively and efficiently outside the legal system. The results achieved through mediation, the Collaborative process, or planning, are usually far superior, and more satisfactory.

Practice Composition

Litigation

Education

Washington University School of Law
Washington University School of Law JD (1995)
Monmouth College
Monmouth College BA, Government/Philosophy (1992)

Practice Summary

In the family law space, I now work only as an advocate within Collaborative Divorce process, or as a neutral mediator, and as a draftsman for Michigan's "Summary" (agreed) divorce. I do continue to serve as an experienced advocate and litigator in all Michigan Probate Courts. Most parties have rights, claims, and options available to them in Probate matters, of which they are unaware. I have extensive experience with Michigan legal collections.
