Steve Gibbins was recommended to me by my brother who had worked tiredly to get him off deferred adjudicated probation and got him off probation with out having to show up to court. I was on deferred adjudicated probation for six years I contacted Steve Gibbins when I completed half of my time Steve is very knowledgeable, professional, and has great communication he worked tiredly for 1 month to get me off probation and out of no where got the call where I don’t have to show up that he got the judge to sign and I am off probation. Steve is a great guy and you can trust him to handle your case while you still proceed with your daily life. Thank you Steve Gibbins for everything.

Steve is an excellent attorney; he communicates quickly and precisely, he is kind, and most of all he cares. He took time to understand my specific situation and presented me with many options to try to resolve things how I saw fit. I would definitely recommend Steve. This recommendation would sound better if I could mention the exact scenario I was in, but all you need to know is that he took care of me.

After 13 years, I needed Steve to expunge my record and he did so without hesitation! Not only was he great in court (charges dismissed) but he just processed my expungement quick, fast and in a hurry! I truly am grateful and blessed that God led me to Steve, as he has been a blessing in my life.

Steve didn’t just take on my case, he stood up for my future. He responded quickly, spoke clearly, and made space for my story in a system that often ignores people like me. I never felt like a burden or a number. He was sharp, compassionate, and knew exactly how to navigate the chaos with both precision and heart. If you’re looking for someone who shows up when it matters, who listens without judgment, and who actually fights for you, Steve is that person. I’d work with him again in a second.

I hired Mr. Gibbins to assist with several serious charges, which were all dismissed. He was always available to address my concerns, modify bond conditions and negotiate and fight on my behalf. As a matter of fact, I’ve never had or heard of a better experience with legal counsel than my experience. My family and and I are truly appreciative of his attentiveness and support. Highly recommend!

Excellent attorney who listened and was dedicated to my case. He took the time to explain the details of my situation, what should happen, what can happen, and most importantly, how he would proceed with my case. He was very responsive to all my questions across phone, text and email conversations. Steve successfully resolved my case.

He was heaven sent and the work he put into my case is beyond words, I owe him and his wife so much for their dedication to my case. We settled and it feels good to have my life back and be able to get my back fixed and back to work is something that would not have been possible if it wasn't for mr gibbins and his knowledge. Thanks mr.gibbins and thanks kris.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
