The first day I walked into Donna Gibbs office I was in tears and feeling totally desperate. Donna handed me a box of kleenex and told me she would do everything she could to help me but she could not promise me a positive outcome. Mine was an extreme case that involved potentially moving my infant daughter 3000 miles away and the court had to decide whether my baby girl would stay in California with me or move to Florida with her mom. It was a huge uphill battle. Donna kept me calm through one of the most difficult and challenging periods of my life. She was steadfast, determined, honest, incredibly prepared, and caring. We stopped the move away and my life and my daughter's life was forever changed. Today I cry tears of joy when I think of all that Donna and her firm did for my daughter and me. I am forever grateful. Believe it or not my child's mom recommended Donna to one of her friends when it was all over. Now that says a lot!

Ms. Gibbs was my attorney for a long and difficult divorce. I don't think you could do any better than to have her by your side for what is often a very difficult process. To be sure, when it comes to divorce the legal system is far from perfect and I would suggest everyone try to avoid that system as much as possible. Nevertheless, sometimes you want and need an attorney. Ms. Gibbs practiced with integrity, compassion, professionalism, skill, and hard work. She also seemed to be highly respected within the legal community which I think is incredibly helpful. Additionally, she was tough and decisive at the appropriate times. I also felt like she really always kept the kids in mind and put them first. Anytime I have a friend who needs a divorce attorney I recommend Ms. Gibbs without any reservations.

Donna Gibbs is a rock solid attorney. She handled my case with care and efficiency. She effectively advocated for the kids' visitation schedule that I wanted and the divorce was complete in six months. She gave me top quality advice on how to communicate with my ex and how to protect against potential pitfalls during the case and post-divorce. Her calm and steadfast personality coupled with her professional competence was exactly what I needed during a highly emotional time where I needed to trust someone to advocate for the best interest of me and my kids. I feel at peace knowing that I can always turn to Donna should any disputes come up between me and my children's father.

Ms. Gibbs has been of enormous help to me and my son. Starting from the original divorce, and continuing through several issues as my son has grown, there have been many disputes between the parents that could not be resolved without litigation. Ms. Gibbs made valiant efforts in all cases to first reach agreement. When the other side insisted on going to Court, Ms. Gibbs has been brilliant in formulating and presenting the issues in Court filings, as well as in verbal argument to the judge during Court appearances. In every single instance, she was able to obtain results that were in the best interest of my son. Beyond that, she has been a trusted and valuable adviser to me in helping me make important decisions that are best for my son. She has also made many outstanding recommendations to me for other service providers that have also been of great help.

Donna Gibbs assisted me with divorce proceedings. Throughout the couple of years that it took to finalize the complex divorce, Donna and her staff were extremely caring, knowledgeable and responsive. A few years later, when I needed advice about another family matter, I contacted Donna. She replied quickly to my messages, gathered the information needed, and advised me on how to proceed. I highly recommend Donna Gibbs.

Donna Gibbs was recommended by a friend because I'm in the process of a separation from the father of my two small children. Her assistant Maureen told me I needed to give her personal information that she would then relay to Donna, and then she would get back to me on whether Donna would take my matter. Maureen was cold and insensitive, and sometimes flip, in the process of asking me highly personal questions about myself and my partner, as well as my kids. She then called me back two hours later and said sorry, Donna was too busy for my case. I wonder, why not tell me that in the first place and spare me the time and the attitude? Not a good experience. I felt violated at a particularly difficult time in my life.
