A class act

I am an attorney; Frank Gibson was recommended to me by numerous colleagues when I needed help with a real estate matter. Working with him was like a master class in how to practice law-- he is emotionally intelligent, proved very knowledgeable about the area of law in question, and was respectful of... my time. While he was not inexpensive, he was worth every penny I paid him. I can see why he is so highly regarded by other lawyers in the community.

Guardianship Case

I retained Mr Gibson to obtain guardianship of a family member. He went over and beyond in helping me obtain guardianship, and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend him to any family who needs to obtain guardianship, especially under the highly stressful and emotional time a fa...mily may face when needing to obtain guardianship of an adult. All aspects were handled promptly and professionaly.

Ideal Attorney

Frank is the closest thing I can think of to my “ideal” attorney. I am involved in a case against a family member over the estate of my grandmother. Frank has taken an emotionally-charged, seemingly-complicated dysfunctional family dynamic and broken it down into easy-to-understand, core elements. I ...think his assessment of the situation will help opposing council (or a judge, if it comes to that) see the "holes" in their case and lead to a resolution in my favor. He is clear-headed and always open to negotiation, but also willing to go to bat for me when needed. His legal knowledge is amazing. When opposing council makes unreasonable statements that make me want to get up and hurl obscenities, Frank quickly and calmly objects with some point of law that completely takes the wind out of their statement. And I have to admit, this is more satisfying than hurling obscenities. When I first looked for an attorney in this case, I was aware that I was very emotional and could be taken advantage of. Initially I was guarded with Frank, but soon realized that although he was dedicated to this case, he was also willing to come away with less (for him and me), if it meant a faster resolution and less emotional toll for me (if that's what I wanted). He has helped me stand up for myself and fight for what I believe in and what I believe my grandmother wanted for me.

  • 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.
