Starting with Jani Hernandez- Paralegal, I was blown away by her caring demeanor and kindness. She took the time to answer my questions (and trust me, I am the type who would ask millions of them). Jani was patient while being empathetic at the same time. After the pleasant experience, I scheduled my first call with Kevin Gibbs. From that first call I knew there was something unique about him. I had interviewed 4 other attorneys prior to him and no one handled the situation like Kevin did. Kevin was able to explain legal terms and procedures clearly so he made me feel at ease right away, he was also able to analyze large amounts of information and provide solutions to my situation creatively and strategically which gave me such a huge relief. At that point I knew I needed to work with him and thankfully, I wasn't wrong! Choosing an attorney is not just about ensuring someone knows the law, many attorneys do but they use it for their own benefit. They will have you litigate when you can stay out of court and save yourself thousands of dollars. That's not Kevin. Kevin not only knows the law, he takes the time to explain it to you, shows you all of the avenues that can apply to your case, describes the pros and cons of those avenues in detail, provides his perspective and guidance based on his experience so YOU can make an informative decision. In other words, he is a partner, not someone who dictates what needs to be done. After many times of meeting with him, I can confidently say that he is one of a kind, he is a man of integrity who cares more about you and your kids than money (unlike some many other attorneys out there). In my case, two other attorneys listened to my case and said I needed to go to court, Kevin on the other hand had my and my child's best interest at heart. He was confident this could be fixed through mediation and gave me really good and practical advise on more than one occasion. He was wise enough to show me what the alternative would look like, so knowing my options, I knew I needed to listen and be wise myself. Thanks to all of this, my case was solved out of court, saving ourselves thousands of dollars and millions of headaches. The last thing I would say is- if you are looking for someone to walk alongside you, to help you navigate what could be the most stressful time of your life, Kevin Gibbs is the person you are looking for! read more

My ex wife wanted to have a mediated divorce and she picked Mr Gibbs for the mediator. Our initial consultation he seemed to be impartial and willing to help us work through issues like custody of our youngest child, division of assets, and splitting our pensions and retirement accounts. He estimated a number of meetings to work out the details and some staff hours to prepare and file the documents for our divorce. After I had paid a significant sum, in advance, for his cost estimate and started the first meeting post initial consultation his demeanor changed 180 degrees. He would constantly advocate for my ex, who by the way was having an affair with one of her students and decided to file for divorce, refused counseling or anything else to save our marriage. Every time she asked about something or made a demand his response was "it's your divorce, you can do whatever you want." On the contrary if I asked a question his response was automatically to dismiss me. When I inquired about first right of refusal for our son, he refused stating that "Judges don't like that." Mr Gibbs also insisted, on the suggestion of my exwife, that I produce my dad's financial documents for the previous 3 years. After the meeting ended and the next meeting was scheduled he proceeded to give my name and financial information to a mortgage broker who called me repeatedly insisting that I needed to refinance my mortgage to cash out enough to buy my exwife out of the house. I refused and he became increasingly more insistent demanding that I use him in order to keep Mr Gibbs happy. I can only presume that there was a kickback involved with these 2. Before my second meeting I did some research and was lead to "Robert's Rules of Order" a book on the standards of parliamentary procedure that is used extensively in mediation procedures. I asked Mr Gibbs to invoke Robert's Rules in our meetings due to my ex constantly interrupting me, cutting me off, and talking over me during my responses to Mr Gibbs. He flatly refused, insisting that it was unnecessary. Her behavior continued and every time I pointed it out, that I wasn't able to respond to him or answer a question because I was constantly interrupted he would respond with something along the line of well she had something to add, she needs a chance to chime in, etc. Then he'd move on without ever allowing me an opportunity to respond. At one point our zoom conference dropped me and left me unable to call back in for approximately 20 minutes. I ended up having to call Jani, Mr Gibbs' paralegal, who is fantastic by the way, and she had to call Mr Gibbs and get him to let me back into the meeting. I can only wonder what he and my ex discussed during the time that I wasn't on the meeting. Finally, at the end of the meeting he circled back to several of the questions that I wasn't able to respond to due to my ex's interruptions, and accused me of failing to answer his inquiries. I produced the stacks of documents that he demanded, including 3 years of my dad's Financials and delivered them to his office. He charged me numerous hours to review them, when I asked if my ex was paying half I was told no, they were my documents, the only ones that weren't our marital ones were my dad's Financials which she had demanded, so I failed to understand why the review was charged only to me. Furthermore he demanded more money since we had exhausted his estimate of the meeting times and now the review of documents that Mr Gibbs had demanded needed to be paid for as well. I paid another advance Because I am a slow learner I continued to a 3rd meeting post consultation, still believing that there was progress being made on our divorce. The 3rd meeting went much the same as the first 2, my ex making wild demands, constantly interrupting me, and refusing anything that I suggest. All with Mr Gibbs constantly agreeing with her at every step and belittling or dismissing me at most opportunities. As the meeting was coming to a close I asked about how many more meetings he expected to need and where the divorce decree stood progress wise. Astonishingly he actually responded to me. I was shocked when he reported that he hadn't started anything yet and felt that we had only agreed to my ex-wife's demands. He expected many more contentious meetings to get into the division of assets, splitting up the pensions and retirement accounts, and child custody. He also didn't miss the chance to blame me for failing to use his buddy to do the cash out refinance of our family home, claiming that was the reason for no real progress being made after thousands of dollars were squandered. If I could give negative stars Mr Gibbs would receive a NEGATIVE 5 star review. Again, Jani is fantastic, I feel genuinely sorry for her working for someone who exhibits zero morals. read more

Apparently, there are a few people that had positive experiences with Mr. Gibbs. However, all I had was smoke and mirrors and seeing the 7 fake reviews posted over a few day day period is reminiscent of my experience. I retained Mr. Gibbs back in October 2019 to represent me on a child custody issue. Luckily, all the details had been pre-negotiated prior to stepping foot in his office. All I needed from him was to write up the stipulation, get it signed by both parties, and submit to the court. 2 to 3 hour job, right? No, not even close. The other party was not represented by counsel at the time. So he decided to take a month or so to get to know her and her wants. Then he takes another 2 months to write the stipulation. This happened to be through the holidays and one of the children's birthdays. I pleaded with him to stop wasting time and just submit the stipulation already. After the stipulation was finally submitted, I would call every other week or to see if our Judge had signed off on it yet. After the 3rd call I was assured that, "You will be the first to know as soon as it happened!" The underlying tone was, stop bothering me I'll let you know. The judge signed the stipulation on March 18th of 2020. Kevin or his paralegal Jani didn't bother to contact me or inform me until May 11th. Almost 2 full months after the stipulation was signed. Then he blamed the delay on "Attorney Services" a document filing service he uses. By this time he has somehow eaten through the entire $7,500 retainer he required up front. This unprofessional behavior persists for almost another year with about an additional $13,000 in attorneys fees. In that entire 1.5 years of "representation" I've seen my children for a total of one hour. Not to mention he allowed another "specialist" to get involved who was not apart of the original agreement, the written stipulation, or granted authority by the court. Just because the Dr. Bussey who my ex-wife insisted on using, agreed upon, appointed by the court, was going to allow me see the children. For anyone who's ever been involved in child custody disputes will understand just how dubious the whole industry is. If you're wanting someone to actually represent you, Mr. Gibbs isn't your man. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere unless you're willing to waste 1.5 years, $20,000, and be willing to put yourself in much worse position than you were before you ever met him. His behavior was so unprofessional and negligent that I'm planning on filing a complaint with the California State Bar, but I felt it necessary to warn others. read more

I had a very vague custody visitation schedule written up at the time of my divorce. After I got remarried, it turned into a battle to be able to see my kids. My wife recommended we contact Mr Gibbs since she had used him before. He was very knowledgeable, direct and honest about how he could and could not help me with my current situation because of the time constraints I had. He is a great family law attorney and I would definitely recommend him to a friend or family member in need. read more

I would definitely recommend Mr. Gibbs, he helped me through my divorce.  We had the consultation and I felt like he cared about what I was going through as hard as it was, he was on my side.  We went through our options on how to handle things, he had several ideas on how to help me best handle splitting assets in a fair matter. He always responded in a timely manner. Jani in his office is also so nice and was so helpful through this entire process. She was always a helping hand when I didn't understand some of the language on forms and is always a pleasure to speak with on the phone. They both made a very bad time in my life just a little easier to deal with. read more

I had an excellent experience with this attorneys office. From the get go of the consultation, Mr Gibbs was compassionate and knowledgeable. Not once did he offer information that wasn't accurate and his advice was fair to all parties. (Because it is truly about the children's best interest) He didn't play games and he didn't give false hope, but he did use the law to leverage the case outcome to get what I was entitled to for my children. He thought outside the box and did his research. He guided me and prepared me based on court guidelines/expectations. read more
