Susan Gibson
“Susan is an amazing attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and collaborative.”
Attorney Susan Gibson has exclusively practiced family law for almost 15 years throughout Philadelphia with a current focus in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. She became a lawyer because of her fascination with how the law intersects with individual people and knows it may be your first time in the court system. That's why she offers honest guidance and upholds her reputation as a trustworthy litigator. Before founding Gibson Family Law, PLLC, she gained valuable experience with a nationally renowned Philadelphia law firm.
Her experience has taught her which battles are worth fighting, saving clients both time and money. However, she still provides hands-on support when clients need to take a stand. Her practical approach to the law paired with her exceptional client communication skills help simplify the process for her clients and get them the results they need.
Whether clients are dealing with complex divorce proceedings, child custody disputes, or abuse, Susan steps into their situation with compassion and leads them out of it.
