"Demanding results would be an understatement!"

"Ms.Gibbs and her firm handled an employer case for my husband and myself, not only was she professional but she was in constant contact for the duration of the case. She never left us to wonder about what was going on or the next steps in our process. She used her extensive expertise to lead us to ...victory! Not only did we win, we won more than we had ever imagined and every result pertaining to the case was in our favor. If the occasion ever arises again we will certainly use Ms. Gibbs and Mabe. Thanks Ms.Gibbs"

Jennifer Gibbs, Attorney at Law

My partner and I have worked with Ms.Gibbs for several years. She successfully handled a business default loan on a restaurant we owned in Decatur. She has since taken care of several personal legal issues and has been readily available for updates, advice and consultation. We also turned to Ms. Gi...bbs on a recent criminal case and she promptly connected us with an attorney who resolved those issues satisfactorily . I recommend Jennifer Gibbs most highly.

I would recommend to anyone. Wonderful Attorney and Law Firm!

The law firm of Gibbs and Mabe were wonderful, attentive, timely and compassionate at helping me get through my divorce and I would would recommend them to anyone seeking the same as well as any other areas of law their firm provides.

Relief

I was in a long-term contract with a nationally known medical waste management company. As a busy physician I accepted the fact that the medical waste management fees were likely to climb over time. However, when the fees reached a level I thought was unfair, I attempted to terminate my contract with... the company. The company threatened to sue me for breach of contract and I sought legal advice. Jennifer Gibbs found that the company had not met their obligations to me in terms of OSHA requirements. Not only did the potential lawsuit go away, my contract was terminated and I received a cash settlement. I highly recommend this efficient, competent attorney and her law firm.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"To most, attorneys are a dime a dozen, hewn from the same incorrigible, high-handed cloth. But if you want a down-to-earth, intelligent, compassionate, and eminently capable legal representative, than you've done right, if you’ve come to Attorney Jennifer Gibbs. Whether it is an employment matter, a family matter for sensitive issues of divorce, custody, and support, or a general contract dispute, one thing is for certain: Jennifer leads with a firm but caring hand and gives 100% for her clients and their cause. She exudes patience and acknowledges clients' need to tell their story, without letting the emotions get in the way of understanding one's rights or expectations of results. Jennifer seeks knowledge from others when she needs it, and provides same to any and all who ask. Attorneys with Jennifer's moral character, humility, and competency are few and far between. I am honored not only to have called her co-counsel over the years, but to be able to call her friend."

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.
