About David
David Gardner earned his J.D. from American University Washington College of Law in 1981. He completed his legal education at a time when Washington remained a frequent courthouse destination for matters touching both local and federal law. The degree set the stage for a long career practicing in the mid-Atlantic.
He was admitted to the Maryland bar in 1981 and to the District of Columbia bar in 1983. Those admissions allowed him to carry a practice across two neighboring jurisdictions. Records show he became a partner at Gardner Law Office, P.C. in 1988. That role has defined the next several decades of his professional life.
Gardner has been active in bar organization work. He has held membership in the Maryland State Bar since 1981 and in the District of Columbia Bar since 1983. Since 2006 he has belonged to the Montgomery County Bar Association, and he is listed as a member of its Ethics Committee. His participation in those groups has meant regular contact with fellow lawyers, judges and the administrative aspects of local practice.
His career spans a period when the practice of law changed in shape and technology. He began practicing well before digital records and has worked through transitions to electronic filing and communications. That continuity has been a feature of his practice life rather than a headline. Court admissions and bar memberships have enabled him to maintain client work that crosses county and district lines.
Clients and colleagues describe Gardner as a lawyer who has stayed in practice steadily rather than moving frequently between firms. He established his name at Gardner Law Office, P.C., where he has served as a partner since 1988. The office listing ties him to a private practice setting rather than a government post or large corporate firm.
He remains an active member of the District of Columbia and Maryland bars and continues to participate in the Montgomery County Bar Association and its Ethics Committee. His long-standing memberships reflect continuous licensure and ongoing engagement in the legal community.
He currently practices from Gardner Law Office, P.C., maintaining a practice that serves clients in both the District of Columbia and Maryland.
