Client

We’ve never needed an attorney, but when I got arrested for DUI, my husband immediately contacted Mr. Joe Gibbons. We felt we had no time to do a thorough search, but when my husband found several positive posted reviews at a reasonable price on Mr. Gibbons, he took a chance and called him immediatel...y. I thank the Lord he did. From the very beginning, Mr. Gibbons was very dedicated to my case. He made me feel I was the most important client, even though I knew he had bigger and more cases to deal with. He was comforting, yet straight forward of what to expect. Mr. Gibbons knowledge and behavior in court reassured me that I was in great hands. Aside from his years of experience, Mr. Gibbons's good name, reputation, and connections he has with several people in the business was also part of the reason of my happy and positive outcome. He saved my job! Both my husband and I thank God for sending us such an amazing lawyer and team. Thank you Mr. Joe Gibbons and team!

Joe's Expertise and Advice Saved Us Thousands

We contacted Gibbons & Gibbons on a busy weekend before a holiday with an urgent need to for a consultation regarding a family member that was unexpectedly arrested while visiting Santa Ana/Orange County. The charge was serious and had the potential to cause serious ramifications for her future. Not ...having any experience with the criminal justice system, we were completely at a loss at what to do next. Even though it was a weekend, Joe, Marc and their team responded immediately to our request for help. Joe provided us with wise advice, and his expertise and knowledge of criminal law and the system saved us thousands of dollars. The happy outcome was that our family member was released and is now home to celebrate the holidays with family. Should we need any future legal representation, our first call will be to Gibbons & Gibbons.

Skilled, Honest and Caring Attorney.

I was falsely accused and charged for domestic violence. As a future elementary teacher, I cannot afford to have anything on my record. Thanks to Mr. Gibbons and his team my case was dismissed by the DA. Once again, thank you so much for all that you and your team did for me and my case these past te...n months. I want you and your team to know how much I appreciate all of your knowledge, hard work, advice and support. You all have made such a difficult time a bit easier for me. Mr. Gibbons and his team are truly great at what they do. I cannot thank them enough for their preparedness and professionalism. I highly recommend their services.

Honest, Professional & Experienced. Go with GIBBONS!

I hired Joesph Gibbons 12 years ago. I needed a pro, serious criminal and drug related charges and warrants in several cities. Gibbon team got all charges adjudicated together and fought to allow my probation to be served in another state. This year I hired Gibbons to fight for dismissals of all ...prior convictions. They came through for me again! If you need an experienced attorney - Joseph Gibbons is the best there is.
