Working with Matt was truly a breeze! I needed to establish estate planning documents and came into the process extremely ignorant. He took the time to answer all of my questions and was extremely timely/flexible given that all of our interaction took place during the quarantine of COVID-19. I was able to sign all documents from my car and he could not have been more accommodating. Highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for experience, knowledge and quality!

Working with Matthew was a great experience. He took that time to answer our questions. He was patient when we asked him to go over the documents with our over the phone. He made the signing process as easy as possible with the COVID-19 social distancing requirements. We are grateful for the accuracy and timeliness of his work. Thank you Matthew!

We worked on estate planning with Matthew Gibson. He was friendly and congenial while inspiring confidence in his judgement and advice. He moved us through the process firmly while answering our many questions patiently and constructively. While he had a standard approach, we felt he was responsive to our particular circumstances. We were pleased that we had gone to him and we were pleased with the outcomes.

My wife and I really enjoyed working with Mr. Gibson. He is extremely responsive. He was able to sit us down and make a estate planning easy for us while still providing great feedback. Even after we were done, we got a note stating that, given the tax changes, that we may want to review our plans. I think this is very proactive and forward thinking and looking out for the best of his clients. I would highly recommend Matt and will continue to us him. Thank you.

My financial planner set me up with Matt to complete estate planning for myself and my husband. Matt was very responsive and gave us good direction on how we could arrange the future disposition of our estates. We had some specific concerns around providing for my husband's sone and providing future dispositions to my family since we do not have children together. Very efficient service and Matt took the time to make sure we understood our options. I would highly recommend his services.

Don’t recall how I met Matt, but certainly glad I did. He’s been able to help me and provided practical guidance. In my experience, legal advice is easy to come by. However, it being provided in a practically applicable, actionable manner is a skill many lawyers do not possess. Matt does!

Very thorough. Matt communicates very clearly and makes sure you understand the documents. His rates are reasonable. Most importantly he is not a sleazy attorney. I trust his charges and his recommendations.

Where to begin. Mr. Gibson exceeded our expectations on a business contract which we felt had gone sour beyond salvageable. Not only did he negotiate between the 2 parties but he negotiated a notoriously difficult CEO who has a reputation of 0 compromise in business deals. Mr. Gibson delivered well beyond what we thought he could do, we were hoping to rate his services 10-star instead of 5. A superb lawyer with skills beyond anyone else in the profession we have used.

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.
