Testimonials

  • After being terminated from a job back in August 2012, I called Jennifer Gibbs at Gibbs & Mabe. I left the particulars of my situation and concerns regarding disability and age discrimination. She promptly returned my call and felt that it was worth further discussion and had me come in.

    Jennifer advised me that she indeed felt my concerns were relevant. I did not have a lot of paperwork to help the chances of any settlement but she saw past that and genuinely wanted to help me. She has much belief and passion for her clients.

    I went in with very low expectations but I was able to get a higher settlement than expected. I was amazed at the true caring and hope for my well-being pertaining to my case. This suit surely did not gain her big money but that was not an issue at all with Jennifer. She wants what’s best for her clients and will go the extra mile...

  • Thank you Carolyn and Jennifer! Throughout this whole ordeal, you have made me feel comfortable and confident. You are more than just great attorneys, you are two caring individuals that I now call friends! Continue the great work and thank you for all the hard work and compassion you have shown!

  • I have had the pleasure of working with both Jennifer Gibbs and Carolyn Mabe. Carolyn assisted me with my divorce in 2010. Not only was she an amazing attorney but a caring individual as well. Ms. Mabe was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and completed everything in a timely manner. She was very detail oriented and thought of things that never came to my mind. During this trying time, she was not only professional but very personable.

    After finalizing my divorce, I decided to do a will. Jennifer Gibbs was the lawyer who set this up for me. She walked me through the whole process. She gave me excellent advice on different aspects of creating a will. Ms. Gibbs found what worked for me. Jennifer was so pleasant to work with, I recommended my parents to her as well. My father and mother were impressed also.

    I would highly recommend both Carolyn Mabe and Jennifer Gibbs. They are not only skilled at the career they have chosen in life but they are also wonderful individuals.

  • I had an employment discrimination case. It was more than a pleasure to be represented by such a dynamic firm. Ms.Gibbs and her staff were, personable, efficient & proactive. My opinion and concerns remained top priority for her for the duration of my case. She was always just a phone call away. Ms.Gibbs and her firm go above and beyond and most of all they DEMAND results!

  • I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ms. Torres-Mabe and Ms. Gibbs on two different occasions. The first was as representation during a very contentious divorce, and the second, a breach of contract dispute. Not only were they always thoroughly prepared, they remained in constant contact and seemed to take a personal interest in protecting me and my family during both engagements. Issues requiring legal counsel can often be some of the most stressful and trying experiences a person will ever face. It was very reassuring during this process to know that my attorneys would respond quickly and compassionately to any of my requests or concerns. Knowledge and competency are to be expected when engaging an attorney. An attorney that offers those things and treats you as a personal friend in the process can make a potentially unsettling experience much more bearable. I regularly recommend Ms. Torres-Mabe, Ms. Gibbs, and the Gibbs & Mabe firm to any of my friends or family that need legal guidance and would not hesitate for a moment to engage Gibbs & Mabe again should I need an attorney.

  • Carolyn was my attorney during my recent divorce. She always provided valuable insight and a comforting and reassuring voice when things got really bad. I was glad to have her on my side and, just as importantly, glad my ex-wife didn't have her as her attorney. She always responded to my inquiries in a timely manner. I hope I never need another divorce attorney but if I did I would happily retain her again.

    F.S.

  • I was in a long-term contract with a nationally known medical waste management company. As a busy physician I accepted the fact that the medical waste management fees were likely to climb over time. However, when the fees reached a level I thought was unfair, I attempted to terminate my contract with the company. The company threatened to sue me for breach of contract and I sought legal advice. Jennifer Gibbs found that the company had not met their obligations to me in terms of OSHA requirements. Not only did the potential lawsuit go away, my contract was terminated and I received a cash settlement. I highly recommend this efficient, competent attorney and her law firm.
