Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
Our service mark, "JURIS OPTIMUS," is Latin for "legal excellence." It is a term the Romans would have used to describe Mr. Gibson's core value. The Roman legal system, one of history's most important, exemplifies the far-reaching effects of legal excellence. Roman law still influences nearly every practice area of the modern lawyer. Mr. Gibson aims to provide each client with the highest level of Juris Optimus based on that client's practical needs.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
My experience on national and international levels has given me the ability to bring my clients vast amounts of knowledge and expertise which sets me aside from many lawyers.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
One of my greatest passions is intellectual property and its uniqueness.
What do you like best about your career?
