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..

Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me and my law practice.

I began practicing law because I wanted to help people.  Working for a large law firm initially gave me exposure to different types of legal matters, but it did not provide the contact with clients that I desired.  In 2004, I opened my own practice and have thoroughly enjoyed working directly with my clients to help solve their complex legal problems.. When I first opened my practice, I was fortunate to have two senior attorneys mentor me in employment law.  They encouraged me to appeal three of my racial discrimination lawsuits to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, and I was hooked.  During the beginning years of my own practice, I was also fortunate to assist in the adoption of two of my nephews.  Adoption law is very near and dear to my heart, and I have no greater pleasure than to help adoptive parents and their adoptive children.. Working with clients through some of the most difficult times in their lives is rewarding to me.  Many of my clients are repeat customers, referrals, and friends.  I keep my clients fully informed of all action I take on their behalf, and return telephone calls within 24 hours.  I can be a “bulldog” when necessary, but I am to obtain the best results for my clients in all matters.. In 2017, I opened Everett Law, PLLC to further my employment, family and adoption law practice.  I always place the client and their needs first and foremost.  If you are looking for an attorney who will zealously advocate on your behalf, please contact me at to set up a consultation.. I look forward to meeting you!
