Andrew K. Gardner is the founding attorney of A. K. Gardner Law, PLLC in Houston, Texas. He has spent his entire career fighting for justice for people harmed by the negligence of billion-dollar pharmaceutical companies, defective product manufacturers, reckless motorists and negligent trucking companies.

Mr. Gardner is originally from Flushing, a small town outside of Flint, Michigan. He attended Michigan State University, where he obtained a degree in political science with a minor in computer science and engineering. After college, Mr. Gardner pursued his dream of becoming a lawyer by attending Michigan State University College of Law. During law school, he interned in the Office of the Solicitor General, assisting in research on a U.S. Supreme Court case, Schuette v. BAMN, 572 U.S. 291 (2014), and a petition for certiorari in People v. Davis, case no. 146819, July 8, 2014 (Mich.)(certiorari denied October 23, 2014). Mr. Gardner graduated magna cum laude from law school in 2015 and promptly moved to Houston to escape the snowy winters up north, and received his license to practice law in Texas in 2015.

In 2017, Mr. Gardner assisted a colleague in drafting a successful appeal on behalf of a man who was brutally beaten by nightclub bouncers. Attacking a novel legal argument, Mr. Gardner’s assistance resulted in the creation of new law, and the decision was published in LFMC Enters., LLC v. Baker, 546 S.W.3d 893 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.], 2018).  In 2019, Mr. Gardner was also second chair in a trial team that obtained a $5.5 million settlement for a client in Houston who was gravely injured in a rear-end crash by a truck driver for one of the nation’s largest 18-wheeler freight brokers.

As a first-generation attorney, Mr. Gardner appreciates being on the side of the ordinary person who has been injured by the cruelty, negligence, or malice of large companies. Mr. Gardner fights to protect the rights of injured people and ensure that those who wreak havoc and cause pain and suffering are brought to justice.
