Steven Gibbs, Founder, CEO & Managing Attorney.  Steven might not be described as your typical attorney.  He strives, and encourages the Gibbs Law Legal Team, to maintain an unpretentious approach to educating and helping clients.  Steven’s goal is not to proffer lofty legal theories but rather to pursue your expectations with a professional conversation offered to educate and foster mutual understanding.  It’s your life and Steven considers it his job to help make your legal expectations a reality through the wise application of experience and comprehensive legal knowledge. Steven was admitted to the Minnesota Bar in 1999, the Florida Bar in 2007 and was admitted to the California bar in 2014. Keeping abreast of estate planning law in these three States has offered Steven and the firm a unique perspective of this area of law.

Along his career path, Steven was an associate attorney for an insurance defense law firm; a real estate negotiator for Target Corporation; corporate counsel for Civix, LLC and Vice President, Legal Operations, for North American Properties – Southeast.  Prior to opening Gibbs Law Office, PLLC, Steven was an associate with the firm of Roberts & Englevalson, P.A. where he gleaned knowledge of trusts, estate planing and Wills at a young age.

Steven opened the Gibbs Law Office in 2008 and now focuses on laws that will enrich the needs of his clients throughout their lives and those of their children.  The firm has developed a practice focusing only on estate planning matters such as:  Trusts and Estate Planning, Wills, Asset Protection, Estate Tax Planning, Medicaid Planning, Elder Law, Real Estate, Business Law and Probate.

In Steven’s words:  “I decided to practice in areas that families will need as they progress down life’s path.  To help them with a solid foundation that will carry them throughout there lives is a rewarding experience for me and my staff.
