Posted by Lauren | March 08, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Highly recommend

Mr. Gibson was professional and prompt from the beginning to completion. He always answered my calls and was forthcoming with my answers. I had spoke to another attorney prior to contacting Mr. Gibson and he was wishy-washy. I felt like I got straight answers from Mr. Gibson and no false promises.... He was honest and I really needed to hear the truth. He got me a fair settlement for my injury. I would have loved more but I think he did right by me.

Would not recommend

Filled me with empty promises, but in the end, he refused to go to court, refused to stand up for his client and left me with enormous medical bills that were supposed to have been taken care of in the original lawsuit. I ended up being worse off after hiring Scott Gibson than before I hired him beca...use I had to hire another lawyer to undo the financial mess he left me with. He had no trouble lying to my face and going behind my back to make deals with the other side. I find his behavior reprehensible. I worry about other people placing their trust in this man. It is one thing to have a disabling injury, but quite another to be further disabled by the very attorney that was supposed to represent you. He insulted me repeatedly during mediation and refused to provide accomodations for me, despite my handicap. I could write for days on the problems I had with this man, but like the rest of the lawyers--he will never be held accountable for his actions.

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.
