Thank you Jan for this thoughtful review. Glad we were there to help.

Highly recommended

Atty Tibble has represented myself in real estate purchases, sales and landlord issues. He has never turned away from a fight and represents his client to the utmost best. He has also represented victims of predatory unscrupulous business actions of people taking advantage of a bullied victim, obviou...sly for their own personal financial gain. His professionalism as an attorney and opinion is highly respected by me and others I have referred. His fees are very reasonable and I have nothing but praise. He is my first call on legal matters I need help with. He had been used for personal and business matters.

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.
