Incompetent at best

I hired Kaitlyn Gibb to represent my daughter in a divorce. She didn’t even understand basic legal concepts. We had other attorneys contact her to try to coach her. To no avail. Since we had to pay over$7000 up front. She was consistently more concerned about my daughters estranged husband. She was... overly concerned that he had a good car to drive. Where did that come from. At one point we had to stop her from drafting a letter of apology to my estranged son in law and his attorney because she followed the advice from a judge who told her to go get her kids. Kaitlyn consistently put fear into my daughter that she would lose custody of her kids rather than offer her support during this very difficult time in her life. She showed no interest in actual fighting for and supporting my daughter.

I strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case, and it was my understanding your daughter was satisfied with our services. I am happy to contact her directly to discuss specific concerns she may have with her experience.

Wish there were more stars!!!

Kaitlyn is beyond intentional. She is so polished and makes complex things very simple for you to understand. She is smart, empathetic, and ethical! She deserves way more than 5 stars!!

A Stellar and Brilliant Attorney

We highly recommend Kaitlyn Gibbs to anyone dealing with a family law case. We hired Kaitlyn for an extremely complicated custody case, and we have been absolutely thrilled with her legal skills, strategic abilities, and expertise. Kaitlyn stands out in every attribute you could want in a lawyer. ...Kaitlyn’s writing abilities are stellar, and she is very responsive in communications with us. She is diplomatic and very strategic when dealing with opposing lawyers and parties, and it is obvious that she and her staff have built a strong, positive rapport with court staff. She is compassionate and extremely easy to talk to. She is skilled at finding important legal precedent quickly, and she explains things clearly and persuasively. As skilled as she is in all these areas, she is even more impressive in hearings. She knows when and how to reach agreement with the opposing lawyer to avoid the risks inherent in a hearing. She has an incredible ability to absorb and distill down evidence to the critical details very quickly, even when she gets new information only five or ten minutes before a hearing begins. She has a calm demeanor that projects competence and confidence in her client’s position, but she also radiates strength and assertiveness when the situation calls for it. She is also skilled at responding effectively to manipulative tactics. She corrects fabrications while always maintaining her composure, which makes her comments come across as credible and trustworthy. Kaitlyn genuinely cares about her clients. The significant progress we have made in our case in the past year is completely attributable to Kaitlyn’s brilliance. She’s worth every cent in legal fees, and she is also extremely fair and reasonable with her billing. If we are ever faced with another family law situation, we cannot imagine using anyone but her. Her office staff are also fantastic. Everyone we interact with is always polite, helpful, and responsive. It’s obvious that they all genuinely care, and they are willing to put in the time and effort to obtain the best results possible. We cannot recommend Kaitlyn and her firm highly enough.

Best lawyer I could have hoped for!

Kaitlyn kept me in the loop, was patient, and persistent while working my case. Couldn’t have been happier with my decision to hire her. Would absolutely recommend her to anybody needing a lawyer!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Kaitlyn Gibbs wholeheartedly. She exemplifies what young, up-and-coming family law attorneys should strive to be. Smart, professional, hard working, and fully invested in her clients' best interests, she is among a select group of family law attorneys to whom I will send a personally-referred client that I am unable to take myself. In those instances, my reputation with the client hangs on Kaitlyn's work as if it were my own. I've never regretted it."
