From a Totally Satisfied Client

If you’re looking for a very capable lawyer, then I highly recommend Mr. Stephen M. Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs has helped me get through a divorce and all the various documents and data required, make my will, living will (Georgia Advance Directive for Healthcare), and Power of Attorney documents. While workin...g with Mr. Gibbs I was very impressed with his analytical skills, judgment, creativity, research and interpersonal skills, logical thinking ability, and communication skills. His ability to explain legal terminology, processes, and requirements to non-legal minds (like mine), enabled me to feel relaxed, and participate fully in the complicated legal processes and requirements. Mr. Gibbs is the lawyer who I speak with first on any legal matter.

Honest and Trustworthy

Steve has been my lawyer through a contentious divorce and custody battle. I have been impressed with his attention to detail and his honest, trustworthy approach. He has always considered the needs of my children and helped me to do the same. I've been forced to appear in court four times through t...his process and each time Steve was prepared and had the necessary documents and/or case law to be able to support my case. I've been very happy with the work that Steve has done for me.

Highly recommend Steve Gibbs

Steve represented me for over ten years in a complicated family law case. Honestly I can't envision a situation where I could have been better represented. Not only did he bring a long history of legal experience to the table, but he was also accessible and responsive to my needs. He is also a grea...t resource in the Atlanta community. He knows the system well, is familiar with many judges and helped me anticipate what to expect step by step as we navigated the complicated legal system.

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.
