Review

This was my first time pursuing legal action. Ms. Gibbons was extremely helpful and kind. She and her office staff were very helpful and approachable when I had questions. I would highly recommend this firm. They handled my claim in an extremely timely manner. I am very impressed and satisfied.

Best Lawyer EVER

My Name is Jennifer, I am really not the type to leave reviews however I am going to take my time to share my experience with this firm. I had an accident back in March before this whole Covid pandemic started but in the beginning of it. My accident occurred at work and I won’t give any details o...n it as to where and when and how it happened. I had gotten a recommendation of an attorney from a coworker of mine and since I really didn’t have any experience of how these things work I decided to go with that recommendation. Worst decision of my life. This recommended attorney kept me in the dark about a lot of things almost 6 months went by.... no updates... no calls... when I called them they were like “Oh yes we are just missing a document..” so I was like... -“ok, what is it?” And ultimately had to do most of their work and it was horrible. HORRIBLE. I remembered I had gotten a letter in the mail from Jorgensen Gibbons firm and my oldest daughter told me to give them a call now that this other attorney wasn’t doing anything. It wasn’t that much of a complicated case so I couldn’t figure out why it was taking so long. So I figured I’d give them a call. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I DID. Now most attorneys kinda brush you off specially if your case isn’t that “Big” of a case. Everyone on this team helped me understand what was happening. I’m no Lawyer and things can get complicated to understand and they broke it down to me. They helped me get a lot more than I intended fighting for me and getting everything I was entitled to. I’m a single mother of two girls who’s father passed away and trust me every cent matters and counts SPECIALLY during these times. So if you see any bad reviews on here pay them NO MIND everyone’s experience is different and I can’t see how their experience was so “bad” when mine was perfect. Just doesn’t make sense. This firm is GREAT and exceeded ALL of my expectations and more. Thank you to Erin and Olimpia for being on point with it all. Thank you to Mrs. Lynn Gibbons who was great and reached out to me several times letting me know that she was gonna fight for me and to be patient that she would make it worth it and to the entire Jorgensen & Gibbons family. My family Thanks you SO MUCH from thr bottom of our hearts. I will recommend this firm 1000 times if I have to to everyone I know. (Which is a lot of people) THANK YOU!!!

Call Lynn Gibbons

I hired Lynn Gibbons to help me when I hurt my back picking up boxes at work. HR told me there was nothing they could do for me. Lynn filed a petition for me and got me to see a doctor. When my work comp doctor said I was all better (but I was still in a lot of pain) Lynn got me another doctor who... treated me like an actual human being. Lynn Gibbons took care of me the whole way and even though I never settled and she never got paid she just kept wokring for me and getting me my benefits whenever the insurance company didn't give them to me. She is an angel and I am so glad I chose her as my lawyer. I will always call her when i need advice.

This is the attorney you want-

Lynn Gibbons is a rare individual who has a perfect blend of legal expertise, outstanding communication skills, and exceptional initiative. She helped me years ago when I had a worker's compensation claim, and the company didn't want to help me. Lynn quickly and expertly navigated through the proce...ss and reached a successful outcome with the company. I never forgot how she helped me when I needed it. This year, a car hit my car on the highway, almost ending my life, and I had another attorney here in town that did NOTHING for 8 months. And I mean NOTHING. When I found Lynn's business card in my old files, I fired him and called her! Talk about a blessing from God. In less than 1 month, yes, 1 month, Lynn had everything taken care of and made extremely helpful suggestions for my medical assessment and evaluation needs. Things I never would have thought of, but needed to properly assess and treat my injuries. I work with senior executives everyday, and am used to excellence-and Lynn Gibbons is the best and brightest. You want her to assist you when you need help. She just called me to update me on our case, and I thought I'd go ahead and review her here so that other people like me can benefit from her professionalism and results. Thank you Lynn.
