Denise Gibbon is credible, trustworthy and worth every penny

I HIGHLY recommend hiring literary attorney Denise Gibbon to review and draft all contracts. I've heard some horror stories from authors who had no idea certain clauses existed in their contract. It is a minimal expense that could save you a lot of money in the future. She really helped me understand... why it is so important to read EVERYTHING before you sign any legally binding contract. Denise Gibbon, was so amazing! She's like a literary angel! She negotiated over a dozen concessions for me, and both parties signed the contract very happy. 5 stars for me, hands down!

Helped with Book Contract/Negotiate Book Deal

Would've been lost without Denise! She was thorough, encouraging, knowledgeable, and was able to change lots of details in the contract to my favor. Seriously don't know what we would've done without her help. I recommend without hesitation.

Superb attorney, insightful, honorable and generous of spirit

I can't speak too highly of Denise's integrity, acumen and skill. She is clear, precise, a masterful negotiator and I would trust her with any legal or publishing matter. Denise also makes it safe to ask foolish questions -- a gift to those of us who live in an artistic maze. And just as generously, ...she will repeat the answers as often as necessary so that you understand the best course of action. Denise has handled two matters for me: 1) publishing and 2) entertainment. The publishing matter was complex, challenging and emotionally draining. Throughout, Denise was compassionate and wise in her counsel. She is not only a wonderful attorney, she is a wonderful person.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Although an expert in intellectual property, I have had the pleasure to work together with Denise on a major subprime mortgage backed security (MBS) investigation that lasted over 1.5 years. During this time Denise not only proved to be a quick study and diligent attorney, but also an invaluable resource on this matter. I wholeheartedly endorse her without any reservations."
