Services
Robert C. (Bob) Gardella is a trial attorney and general practice attorney primarily serving Livingston County and southeast Michigan. His areas of practice are family law, divorce, collections, criminal defense, juvenile defense, corporate law, business law, limited liability companies, real estate, oil & gas law, labor and employment law, motor carrier law, personal injury, probate, wills and trusts, commercial law, and civil litigation.
For many people going through a divorce, negotiating a divorce settlement agreement or developing one through divorce mediation may be a very good way to resolve their legal issues. For others, divorce litigation may be necessary. My goal as your divorce lawyer is to find the resolution method that best fits your needs.
At Robert C. Gardella, PLLC, I am dedicated to assisting families with all their family law needs, including child support and child custody matters. Since no two support orders are alike, it is important to have a strong advocate for your divorce or child custody case. I understand how this can be a difficult, emotional and stressful time for you.
When you are facing legal issues concerning your parental rights and time spent with your children, it can be difficult to deal with the stress and anxiety associated with your family law case. You don't need the added stress of an unresponsive attorney. I am dedicated to providing clients with prompt, responsive legal representation.
I grew up in the trucking industry, and my family is still heavily involved in transportation. My grandfather began his career as a truck driver and owned his own trucking company and trucking brokerage company. My parents own Midwest Moving & Storage Company of Wayne County, which is affiliated with Bekins Van Lines.

If you look at Bobs reviews , most current is 2018. I was yelled at, I was also cussed at. After the second appearance with Bob I told Bob I was firing him. He told me I had to come to his office, which wasn't happening. I was out the money for what he charged me, almost 3 years later I received a letter from a attorney saying I owed Bob more money. I paid him in full what he quoted me and fired him after 2 court dates.

Several years ago, on strong family recommendation, my wife and I hired Robert Gardella to help set up our personal trusts. We were so impressed with him – and the experience was so seamless – that we hired him again last year to help settle my sister’s estate after her unexpected passing.
Bob is a highly competent, client-focused attorney. We found him to be personable, uncommonly honest and exceptionally thorough in whatever legal matter he is addressing. He takes time to understand his clients’ goals and clearly explains his recommended approach to achieving those goals. Perhaps equally

Bob Gardella was nothing short of awesome. He did everything he possibly could do to help me get my situation resolved. He genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to help. Also another thing that was really nice, is that he always keeps you informed as to what is going on with your case. I highly recommend him.

Robert was very professional and efficient. He listens very well and handled my case successfully. He told me where I went wrong and how I could have achieved results without having to consult a lawyer so that I would be better equipped to handle the same scenario in the future. He renewed my faith in the profession by showing integrity and diligence throughout the process. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone who needs legal help.
