Brilliant

I had the pleasure of working with Geoff through a DVPO case and parts of my divorce case. He was able to point out the fact that my ex had set me up and wasn't afraid to voice it in court. Geoff was also well prepared for a crucial custody hearing and it was a relief having him by my side. Being a ...judge, in addition to a lawyer, his schedule does get busy. However, both he and his paralegal, Kerry Davis, show great care for their clients.

Schedule your initial consult with Mr. Gibbs!!

Mr. Gibbs within minutes of our initial consultation, made a remarkable impression on me which distinctly separated him from his peers in the field of family law. Sure, you can conduct research on individual attorneys through their respective websites or even on Avvo or listen to the recommendations ...of friends, family and even other attorneys (all of which I discovered were positive with regards to Mr. Gibbs), but the true acid test in my modest opinion is in the initial consultation with any attorney. You have to judge for yourself. In my unfortunate experience with some attorneys, I have found myself to be treated like the usual dime a dozen case, subject to what usually feels like a scare presentation to invoke the purchase of legal services only to end significantly short of expectations. And I have had to sit with several attorneys.... In Mr. Gibbs' case however, I was delighted to be greeted, he promptly cut to the chase of my visit and had my questions answered quickly, efficiently and directly. He demonstrated a thorough understanding of relevant statutes and laws as applicable to my scenario and went above and beyond my expectation in his assistance with his solutions. His service is easily described as 1st class. I can obviously see why Mr. Gibbs is a valuable asset to the elite team of professionals of Anderson Hunter. Thank you Mr. Gibbs, your service and professionalism as an Attorney is highly appreciated!
