This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not a good experience

What should have been a quick and clear cut case was dragged out for eternity. I was presented with long conversations and extensive emails that discussed a billion different scenarios for my case without any real direction or suggestions for the course of action I needed to take. It made me feel li...ke my hands were tied when they very clearly were not. Her heart is in the right place but she lacks experience to provide clear guidance and recommendations for her clients - which ends up costing the client much more money.

Top Notch Lawyer with Reasonable Rates

Sujata Sidhu Gibson has helped me with a number of matters, including estate planning, several real estate transactions and various corporate transactions. She brings all the skills and accuracy of a big firm lawyer (having worked in that world before moving back to Ithaca) but charges less than most... of the lawyers in town and she contributes a large portion of her time to pro bono work. Ms. Gibson is scrupulously honest and I can rest easy knowing she will get me the best results and be generous with her billing.

Thorough, knowledgeable and nice

Sujata helped me set up an LLC and worked with me on a real estate closing. She was very easy to work with and I would not hesitate to work with her again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
