I was involved in two car accidents back-to-back.

I had heard very positive things about the Law Firm of Michael T. Gibson and decided to give their office a call. Prior to the first accident, I had never been in a car accident before. Dealing with the insurance company, selecting the right doctors to go to for my injuries was all foreign to me. ...I worked closely with Jennifer throughout the process and she could not have been more sweet and caring when it came to my situation. It’s hard to believe they had other clients with the amount of care and attention they gave to me! Any question I had was answered promptly. Their entire office is extremely helpful, everything is done in a timely manner. With my second accident, there was no doubt as to who I would call. That accident was more severe and Jennifer did an amazing job getting me the settlement I deserved. I always refer them to anyone involved in a car accident and will continue to do so. A.W.

Highest Level of Professional Legal Counsel Available

I want to take a moment and thank Michael T. Gibson and his law firm for providing us with the highest level of professional legal counsel available. The advice and representation we received throughout this very difficult process was everything we hoped for and everything you promised us since day ...one. We will never forget what your staff, especially Patty, did for us throughout the almost three years we invested into our car accident case. None of this would have been possible without your expertise and experience in PIP law. The dedication given to our case made it seem like our case was the only one being worked on and I believe that’s truly amazing. Once again, thank you for your professionalism and for the dedication shown.

Client Care and Customer Service TOP Priority

I received excellent service from the law firm of Michael T. Gibson. Tamara made the experience particularly great. She always provided me with updates on my case and kept me informed every step of the way. That was reassuring, during a very difficult time. Calls were always returned in a prompt mann...er. Client care and customer service is a top priority at their firm. My case results were also excellent. Highly recommend! And as I hope to never need their services again, I would not hesitate to call them or refer them after an auto accident.

Trustworthy & Professional Every Step of the Way!!! EXCELLENT RESULTS!!!

The Law Firm of Michael T. Gibson helped us get the money we deserved following my husband’s devastating car accident. The investigator that came out to our house was very trustworthy. The law firm provided us top notch service every step of the way! I always received a call back the same day to a...ny questions that I had regarding my case. What initially drew me to the law firm of Michael T. Gibson was Michael’s personal story and past experience dealing with his mother’s car accident. He brought a kind of passion and persistence to our case that I have not seen with other attorneys- and I have worked with many of them. Thank you Michael to you and your wonderful team for helping us through this difficult time!

Posted by anonymous | July 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

These testimonials must be FAKE

Where to begin? This attorney's office is extremely unorganized and unprofessional. I am not an attorney, but I would have done a more efficient and timely job than they did. First off, why hire office staff that cannot comprehend every day basic fifth grade language?...Paraprofessionals that do n...ot communicate?...an attorney that doesn't get around to your case for over 5 weeks? I should have run as soon as I realized how inefficient the office staff was. I was put on hold 4 times during a follow up call to see if all the paperwork and photos were received. When the para Wanda finally got on the phone, she made excuses for the secretary, saying she was probably looking up my file. That would have been an acceptable answer if she had actually even taken my name!! Well, after giving them a piece of my mind, (something any good attorney would appreciate) I received a certified letter stating they would no long represent me. Boo hoo, woe is me? NOT After attaining another attorney...who told me that if I hadn't taken the photos of the scene myself, I would have no case!! Gibson and his flock of fools never did their due diligence and instead relied on me to perform their roles of defense team. New attorney also asked if measurements/dimensions of the scene were taken...NOPE...was never even mentioned and now the accident scene has been compromised. Please don't waste your time on this attorney and his staff. My new attorney is meeting with me tomorrow (less than 24 hours from my call). I still have not met Michael Gibson because his office is chaotic and his priorities are not conducive to his client's best interests. I can go on with more details, but I think you've got the picture...and I'm ready to move on with a real attorney. Do yourself a favor, RUN, don't walk.
