Everything you can ask from an attorney

Well experienced and professional. They know the ups and downs of the immigration very well. I had a very complicated case with USCIS and was desperate holding NOID letter in my hand when I reached out to Mr Gibbs. He and his team turned things around beyond my imagination. Mr Gibbs put me in ...peace of mind first and got to work with Emily Simcock and got my green card shortly after. I believe if they accept your case most likely you are going to win.

Seattle's best immigration attorney

Robert Gibbs seamlessly handled our rather-complicated immigration case, handling our family needs with grace and care. Nothing was missed or lost as is often the case with immigration files, all the documentation was filed correctly and on time. Working with Mr. Gibbs and his paralegals has been a p...leasant, efficient, and productive journey. I highly recommend his services.

Avvo Rating

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.
