About

My name is Phil Gibbons and I limit my law practice to employment law and long term disability claims on behalf of employees.  I have practiced employment law since 1996 and I am recognized by AVVO, Martindale Hubble, Best Lawyers in America, and Super Lawyers as a highly rated attorney. My office is located in Charlotte, NC and my law firm represents employees throughout the state North Carolina. The one thing you should know about me is that I am a cancer survivor.  In 2010 I was diagnosed with Stage III Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  I endured 6 months of chemotherapy and overcame many challenges before being told I was "cancer free."  I not only understand how a life-changing event can impact employment, I have lived it.  Whether you are fighting for your life or your livelihood, you want the help of professionals who have the experience and knowledge to help you.  I firmly believe that before you hire an attorney or file a claim, you should learn as much as you can about the law, the legal process, and how to choose the best lawyer for your case.   If you are having issues with your employer, you can download the following free eBook, which may help you avoid harming your claim: 7 Biggest Mistakes That Can Destroy Your North Carolina Employment Law Claim Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me and my law practice.

After thorough research for the right lawyer to take my case, I found Phil Gibbons, and without reservation, I highly recommend him! I spoke to him in depth about my case over the phone then met with him. He gave my case the attention I felt it deserved which concluded with the desired settlement results. His fee structure was certainly fair and worth it. He simply took the time needed to listen to me and to learn the intricate details to ensure he had complete knowledge of my particular case. If you are looking to secure a lawyer to represent you, don't hesitate to call Phil Gibbons.

I consulted Phil Gibbons regarding a wage dispute with my former employer. As a novice to this, I had a lot of questions. He was very patient and walked me through each step of the litigation. He has a vast knowledge of the employment marketplace in Indiana and worked quickly with my former employer to reach a fair solution. I would certainly recommend anyone having issues with unpaid wages to give him a call.

I am from Kentucky and I had a previous employer that owed back wages through the Labor Boardthe Labor Board wasn't doing much about it so I came across Gibbons legal grouptalked with him and he took on my case all done on contingencywell needless to say no sooner than he took the case my previous employer filed bankruptcy Mr Gibbons stuck with it motion after motion was filedhe dealt with the case for over a year keeping me informed throughout the whole timeI never met the man but I think he is an awesome lawyer he does a great job with my case we ended up winning got money back he took care of that right away and I really felt bad for him because he took the case without knowing about any bankruptcy and I know he had a lot more paperwork than what he plan on doingI even offered to split the amount within 50 50 and he told me know he would keep his word and do the original dealso I was very very satisfied with him in the results that he got so Mr Gibbons thanks again I appreciate all the time and effort you put in my case

Atty Phil Gibbons Jr. is in my opinion the best attorney for getting your legal matters resolved in a professional and timely fashion. It is pretty hard to find a good lawyer that will take you by the hand without getting into the legal terminology that only they understand. Phil has from the beginning explained the process in plain English and answered all of my questions before, during and after my case. Because of his expertise, I was able relax, sit back and WIN my case with no worries. It was truly nice to have met and worked with Mr. Gibbons! I would say to anyone that needs legal counsel, you will not find anyone more true and pationnate in the law profession. Thank you Phil for all of your hard work on my behalf...... J.C.-Indianapolis

I didn't need a pure attorney (though he would have served that role perfectly well). I needed a guy that understood the law but more importantly understood how to negotiate the best deal given a handful of exterior variables. Phil did just that. He didn't say "Let's get the most money, hell or high water." He said, "Let's get the best deal for you, all things considered." We were able to negotiate a settlement and minimize both of our investments in the case, but he would have had no problem walking into court had that been the best deal for his client. I was impressed. I'd go back to him in a minute.

I hired this firm in July 2018 to (1) amend an existing lawsuit and (2) negotiate a settlement. The firm did not do the job for which they was hired. I never met the attorney in person and we only spoke on the phone twice over a year's time. The firm eventually negotiated a settlement with my former employer, but made a bad situation worse by padding their bill (inflated hours) which allowed them to receive excessive fees. Our contingency agreement allowed up to 40% of gross settlement, but the attorney fees added up to 46%.(extra $2500). I explained that I'm unemployed, but the firm stood their ground. Based on my personal experience, I would never hire this firm again, even if my life depended on it!
