• Ross D. Gardner Attorney at Law

    Ross D. Gardner

    Attorney

    My dream has always been to be a business owner. After I passed the Bar Exam, I decided to start my firm in order to develop personal, collaborative relationships with clients in need of legal counsel that helps them both personally and professionally. My firm's mission is to work with clients in identifying immediate and future areas of risk to their business and family assets/estates, and advise and assist them in mitigating those risks. This personal approach occurs not just during initial meetings and transactions, but continues through the years with regular reviews and counsel as the clients' personal and professional situation evolves, ensuring that they are always aware of and can take advantage of legal protections afforded to them.

    I grew up in the Mukilteo area and have resided in the Puget Sound region for most of my life. I love this area and the people who make up our diverse and booming region. I attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, where I received my undergraduate degree in Accounting and Entrepreneurial Leadership. I continued my education at the University of San Diego, where I received my Juris Doctorate with a concentration in Business Law.

    I live with my wife, Kara, in Edmonds, WA. We enjoy traveling, taking in sporting events (Go Hawks, Dawgs & Zags!!), boating, food and wine, live music, spending time with friends and family, and getting out to enjoy all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
