Amazing Attorney

In my legals struggles I was struggling to find good solid honest legal representation. Ms. Gibbs has been all of these things. There is no better attorney out there in my opinion. Ms. Gibbs has is an excellent attorney that is being fully led by her love of Christ and passion to help others. She... has not only helped me navigate the hardest parts of my life, places I truly never thought I could survive, but encouraged me in my faith walk. We have prayed over my situation and I believe that I am seeing divine intervention and blessings everyday. She knows the law and is effective in the court room. She has worked exhaustively on my case and never stopped trying to help me and my situation. She has worked with me while my financial resources have been strapped. I would recommend her to EVERYONE who has a need.

Business Contract and Fraudulent Claims Rebuttal

I contracted with Ms. Gibbs to construct the basic contract between my company Learning Fields, LLC and all clients. After a detailed review of my business processes and expectation, Ms. Gibbs produced a comprehensive and detailed contract that I have used with my clients. I felt absolutely secure ...in my legal protections and commitments to my clients with the contract document Ms. Gibbs produced. Her attention to detail and specificity in the language were superb. Additionally, when I was fraudulently threatened by a previous vendor, in violation of the law, Ms. Gibbs researched the statutes and legal precedents and produced a counter-reply to the vendor clearly explaining their illegal attempt to threaten me, causing them to withdraw their claim and never be heard from again. Through, professional, methodical and well versed in all aspects of the laws directly related to my case and those tangental but relevant, Ms. Gibbs would be my choice of an attorney again.

Family Court Hero!

Ms. Gibbs was an awesome person from our initial consult. She took her time in asking questions and my desired outcome of my case. She advised me of my options and the different scenarios that may arise during the hearing. When going to our trial for custody and visitation, I was prepared for any ru...ling that would occur. Ms. Gibbs was over prepared, professional and detailed. I appreciated her being personable and treating me as an individual. She exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Ms. Gibbs, I now have Joint Legal Custody and Visitation of my niece and nephew, whom I had not seen in almost 9 months! I highly recommend Ms. Gibbs to any and everyone. She is my first choice for my family's legal needs.

Outstanding Attorney

Tonya is a very knowledgable attorney and provides the very best legal advice. When she tells you she is going to do something or follow up she does. I would recommend her services to anyone.

Letter of Agreement for services

Tonya provided valuable insight into the Letter of Agreement I use in my event planning business. She provided specifics on what needed to be corrected to ensure the intent of the agreement was clear. Tonya's review was very thorough, as were the suggested corrections.

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.
