Experienced California Criminal Defense Attorney
The outcome of a criminal case will impact the rest of your life. Whether you end up behind bars, losing your license, serving a lessened sentence or fully acquitted is determined — in large part — by the steps you take to protect yourself. I have been refining my trial skills for over 20 years, and I have handled thousands of criminal cases for clients with thousands of different concerns.
I am Douglas L. Gardner, Attorney at Law, and I defend juveniles and adults in criminal cases throughout Redding and Northern California. I know there are few experiences more overwhelming and confusing than criminal accusations, and if you are facing charges, you are probably looking for legal counsel that can help you understand what you are up against. I will work closely with you throughout the process, making sure you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your situation.
When clients contact me, I work closely with them throughout their case. Unlike some firms that allow inexperienced paralegals or associates to handle client matters, when you contact me, you will work with me, an attorney with over 20 years of experience with criminal cases. Understand the rights and options you have in the criminal system. Contact me online or call 530-410-0648 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Why Does Experience Matter?
Prior to opening my own practice, I worked as a district attorney. Having worked on the other side, I know what the court is looking for, and will use this knowledge to help prepare your case.

This allows me to give clients a straight-forward and honest assessment of their situation.
I never play up your chances of winning or accept a case just to make money. I am here to offer you the representation you need to meet your legal goals. I defend clients who are facing all criminal charges, including:
