My name is Phil Gibbons and I limit my law practice to employment law and long term disability claims on behalf of employees. I have practiced employment law since 1996 and I am recognized by AVVO, Martindale Hubble, Best Lawyers in America, and Super Lawyers as a highly rated attorney. My office is located in Charlotte, NC and my law firm represents employees throughout the state North Carolina.
The one thing you should know about me is that I am a cancer survivor. In 2010 I was diagnosed with Stage III Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I endured 6 months of chemotherapy and overcame many challenges before being told I was "cancer free." I not only understand how a life-changing event can impact employment, I have lived it. Whether you are fighting for your life or your livelihood, you want the help of professionals who have the experience and knowledge to help you.
I firmly believe that before you hire an attorney or file a claim, you should learn as much as you can about the law, the legal process, and how to choose the best lawyer for your case.

F. Fore, Employment and labor Attorney on Oct 3, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse Phil Gibbons strongly. I have known Phil for about three years. He was opposing counsel in a significant matter. I won in the lower courts. He won in the Indiana Supreme Court. He is a real advocate for his clients. Phil is a common sense lawyer who is not interested in wasting time or money. He works in a productive manner to achieve what his clients need. Phil has a special knowledge and understanding of the law in the field of employee rights that I have seldom seen in other lawyers. I personally would be confident in referring an employee rights case to him, knowing the person referred would be well represented

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse Phil - he approaches matters in a reasoned and intelligent fashion, protecting his clients and adhering to the highest standards of conduct.
