Marcie Gardner is devoted to the vigorous representation of adults and juveniles accused of all types of crimes, ranging from complex murder cases to simple traffic tickets (and everything in between!). As one of the few attorneys in the area with extensive experience in both adult criminal and juvenile delinquency defense, her practice’s dual-focus has also led Marcie to develop a unique expertise representing students facing public school expulsion hearings. Through her juvenile practice, Marcie learned that very few attorneys were familiar with the ins and outs of the California Education Code. Because expulsions are occurring with increasing frequency, Marcie felt compelled to learn these procedures to help her juvenile clients outside of the courtroom. Marcie also helps clients clean up any convictions on their criminal record (expungements, certificates of rehabilitation and petitions for factual innocence).. Marcie has been a lawyer since 1997. After receiving honors for graduating in the top 5% of her UC Davis law school class, Marcie became an associate at the Los Angeles office of the prestigious law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP. There, Marcie was involved in cutting-edge, complex civil litigation. Her practice was geared to defense of corporate clients. Marcie balanced out her career with pro bono cases, including guardianship matters, litigating an inmate’s federal civil rights jury trial and assisting with the investigation and drafting of a habeas petition for a death row inmate. These pro bono matters reminded Marcie that her true passion was to fight for people whose liberties were at stake. While grateful for the high-caliber legal work she experienced at the civil firm, Marcie felt her career would be much more satisfying if she could help people facing the prospect of jail or prison rather than working on cases where company profits were the bottom line. Marcie turned her efforts back to criminal defense, the field which she fell in love with after her first high school mock trial competition at age 16.  During law school, she worked for the Federal Public Defender’s Office, the Sacramento Mediation Center, and the Prison Law Office.  For the latter, Marcie advocated for administrative relief for prisoners across the state who suffered many types of injustices while incarcerated. Thus, in 2003, Marcie formed a Rancho Cucamonga-based criminal defense partnership with another attorney. For seven years, Marcie worked tirelessly on behalf of hundreds of clients. Marcie represented adults and juveniles facing criminal prosecution in all types of cases.  She also represented students facing expulsion proceedings in San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. In 2011, Marcie opened her own law office, still based in Rancho Cucamonga. Just as before, Marcie practices adult criminal and juvenile delinquency defense work. Marcie accepts each case understanding that it is not just a "case" for her clients - it can be a potentially life-changing, nerve-wracking experience for each client. For clients who want or need to go to trial, Marcie pursues a "no stone unturned" defense. For clients who prefer to resolve their cases before trial, Marcie attempts to find creative solutions while keeping her clients' priorities in mind.. Marcie has experience in courthouses throughout San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties. Having represented clients in these areas since 2003, Marcie has built a solid reputation and maintained good relationships with judges, court staff and deputy district attorneys in these areas. By retaining Marcie as your attorney, you know exactly who your attorney is and can be confident she will use her experience, reputation and training to your benefit.. Finally, Marcie’s ties to this area are deeper than her law firm practice. She graduated from the University of Redlands with a degree in political science in 1994, having co-founded the University’s first Mock Trial program and leading it to national recognition. A firm believer in community service and outreach, Marcie founded and became the first President of ieLAW – the Inland Empire Legal Association of Women. ieLAW is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated, in part, to advancing the interests of women in the community. In just a few years, ieLAW has sponsored numerous events to help struggling members of this community. For example, ieLAW has hosted holiday parties at a local shelter for abused or runaway teens, mock trials at disadvantaged elementary schools, and organized food drives for the needy. Marcie and this organization were featured in The Inland Empire Magazine in 2010.. Several years ago, Marcie developed a volunteer organization for students at a local elementary school, which she still spearheads to this day. Through this group, Marcie has assisted students in a wide variety of community projects, such as: writing holiday cards to soldiers; donating Halloween candy to charitable groups; funding a sick child’s wish through the inspiring Make-A-Wish Foundation; gathering hundreds of needed items for the Inland Valley Humane Society; donating hundreds of books, DVD’s and stuffed animals for hospitalized children; and donating over 800 pairs of shoes to the Haiti earthquake victims. Moreover, Marcie is a Board Member of a local Educational Foundation.. These experiences have fostered a sense of compassion in Marcie which has carried over to her law practice to the benefit of her clients.

I love what I do and I am very service oriented.  I primarily practice in San Bernardino County and I am known for making special appearances for other lawyers.  I have handled over 50,000 appearances in the last 20 years.   But, not everyone knows that I also have many clients of my own.  I have a real estate background and am a licensed Real Estate Broker.  I also handle wills and trusts, probate, criminal defense, corporate and other business formations and contracts, family law and litigation.

I have been practicing law since June of 1987.  I worked for a law firm where all of the three partners were Certified Family Law Specialists.  The firm was one of the leading family law firms in the county of San Bernardino.  Before I became an attorney, I clerked for these attorneys for 2 years.  I continue to practice primarily in family law but also represent clients in areas that are directly related to family law: Juvenile,  Guardianships, Criminal defense and Bankruptcy.. The practice in familyl law is litigation intensive as many parents/spouses are unable to resolve their issues between them.  As a consequence, the parties then will necessarily go to court to let the judge decide the issues.  Sometimes, we are able to negotiate the cases out of court and in many instances the clients really require such a resolution.  However, it is quite common that the parties are not amenable to settling the case.. The parties in any divorce, separation, custody, visitation or support case must retain the services of an experienced, family law attorney as the statutory and case laws are so complex.  Our firm has over 31 years experience in handling these cases.

I have been practicing law in the inland empire since 1976.  I represent people accused of crimes.  I defend civil lawsuits, restraining orders, and family law.

I have been a long time resident of Southern California's Inland Empire.  My law practice focuses on helping people and businesses in the Inland Empire.. My family and I returned to Rancho Cucamonga after spending seven years in Provo, Utah attending undergraduate and law school at BYU.  I have been extremely glad to be a resident of Rancho Cucamonga and have enjoyed my associations with community members.  These associations have brought great joy to my life.. I enjoy playing basketball, skiing and working out.  But more importantly, I enjoy spending time with my kids, coaching soccer and serving those in need.

I am a Certified Family Law Specialist who has been practicing family law for over 20 years. Prior to law school, I was a paratrooper in the Army. In addition to my professional experience and skills, my personal family experiences give me a unique insight to family law litigation that most attorneys do not have.  I am very hands-on when it comes to my cases, and I am easy to get ahold of.

After practicing law for 7 years, I am just as enthusiastic today about helping others navigate the legal system as I ever was..

Believe me when I say, your peace of mind is not only about the end result, but also about the journey to get there.. Honor Law Group offers legal counseling in misdemeanor criminal law matters as a result of my background as a Deputy District Attorney in San Bernardino County. The firm also offers legal counseling in family law matters because it is the most common issue I see people struggle with.  It is my HONOR to provide legal representation, support and guidance in both arenas of law.. I truly believe we can all make a positive footprint on the world.  Through Honor Law Group, I am making mine in the most amazing way I can imagine.. -Kimetra Newton, Esq.
