This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I blew a 0.11 and was not charged with a DWI

I made appointments with about 5 local lawyers including Ken. Ken was a recommendation from a friend whose sister had a DWI, and I quote my friend, "not sure how, but she didn't plea guilty". All lawyers I met with had great reviews but ONLY Ken is SPECIALIZED and DEDICATED to ONLY DWI cases. When ...I met Ken he was honest and empathetic about my situation. This is when I knew I wanted Ken as my lawyer. This was my first offense. I fell asleep at a red light. It was a citizens' arrest. I was polite to the officers and my video was good. I was too honest for my own good in some of the questions the police asked but Ken worked with me and we discussed the best outcome given the evidence. He made the process really easy and painless. We had to prep to go to trial but we got the deal with the outcome that we wanted so we took it. DWI was dismissed and I pleaded guilty to Obstruction of Highway, 18 months probation with deferred adjudication and no breathalyzer. I met my probation officer every 3 months. It is all set and done now. I am so glad that Ken represented me in court because my record is clean from this. I strongly suggest you talk to Ken about your case.

Needed a miracle and that's what I got

As the title describes, I needed a miracle and that's what happened. I was able to gain a favorable outcome considering my circumstances. Second DWI reduced to an Obstruction of a Highway. Nobody was getting any offers from the prosecutors on second DWI's but somehow they made it happen. You want to ...go with these guys. Not only are they influential they also provide phenomenal customer support. I was an "out of towner" that got into trouble in Travis county and they still treated me like anyone else. Always willing to answer questions and I ask alot of questions. I am telling you, if you are facing a DWI then contact these guys first. I had a lot to lose and because of this outcome all is still in place.

Best money I have ever spent

I found myself in need of an attorney for representation against a DWI charge. This was a very frightening and traumatic time in my life and Ken helped me through it. From the first time I talked to him, he was very comforting and reassuring. He told me not to worry about the charge, to go live my li...fe and leave the worrying to him. When I had questions, he would answer them personally and promptly. He has the expertise in this field of law that I needed. He has a take charge attitude that is positive but realistic.  He and Park have an excellent working relationship with prosecutors and judges. The prosecutors know that the Gibson Law Firm is not afraid to go to court to get the outcome they want for their client. This in turn makes negotiations more successful. They are professionals who are at the top of their game.  I never would have thought it possible, but they were able to negotiate a DISMISSAL of charges.  I learned of Ken by reading online reviews. I want to recommend him to you if you are in need of this service. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family members should they ever discover themselves in this position. This was the best money I have ever spent. I am very thankful I found Ken.

Ken and his team are amazing

I was arrested for DWI in September and Ken's team has been more than awesome through the whole process. We are not finished yet, but he remains realistic and optimistic, returns your calls and emails, and shoots it straight. I would use Ken again in a heartbeat and will recommend his firm to my fr...iends and family.

1st consultation and hired

Ken shot it straight with me. He laid out all the details on what to do and even made me feel comfortable speaking with him about possibilities and outcomes. I decided to hire Ken because he made me feel like I was his only client and that he was going to work hard fro me. I look forward to working w...ith Ken through this difficult time.

"I have know Ken Gibson over 15 years. He is a true professional in his field. I always appreciate the fact that Ken will brainstorm with me on new ideas and tactics that might work for my clients even though I practice on the other end of the state from Ken. He works tirelessly for his clients always fighting for the best deal that he can possibly get in each case. If I have a client in Austin or the surrounding areas I refer them to Ken because I know my client will be in great hands. In my opinion Ken is one of the best DWI lawyers in Texas.
