Gibbs and Parnell, P.A. was founded in 1995 by A.P. Gibbs and Thomas E. Parnell. Mr. Gibbs has been practicing law for over 40 years and Mr. Parnell for 26 years. They are both “A” rated attorneys and the firm has been recognized as “Pre-eminent” by Martindale Hubbell publication that rates lawyers all over the world. Both attorneys were also recently named as two of Tampa Bay’s top lawyers by Tampa Bay Magazine. They have tried hundreds of cases in both State and Federal Court. They have argued in front of the Florida Supreme Court and have many verdicts and settlements over a million dollars. The success that they have enjoyed has come from hard work and the willingness to take insurance companies to trial.
Communication is very important with clients. We pride ourselves on client contact and making sure they are fully involved in the process. So many times we hear from people that want to change lawyers because they don’t know what is going with the case. The truth is their attorney may be doing a good job but he failing to keep the client informed. After all it is their life that has been turned upside down. We have hundreds of cases but the client only has one. An accident can have a devastating impact on a person’s life both personally and financially. They have no idea what to expect from the insurance company. They get frustrated quickly after having to deal with unreasonable adjusters. They are in pain and that is difficult to deal with. They quickly run out of money because they can’t work. They can’t fulfill their obligations to their family so they feel inadequate. Sound like fun? It is not and they need a shoulder to lean on and someone that will listen to them. The client also needs reassurance that they are going to be made whole again. That is what we do. We want to get you back to the point before the accident happened. We get you to top doctors for your health care. We get your car repaired or replaced according the degree of impact. We will see that you have a rental car so you are not without transportation during the process. Once you have concluded your treatment we will negotiate with the insurance company to get you the best settlement possible. If they won’t pay what we think the case is worth, then we will sue the other driver and take them to trial. The client’s well being is our number one priority at Gibbs and Parnell. We will get you through this process as painlessly as possible. We want you leaving this relationship happy to refer us your family and friends. That is our number one source of client referrals which means that we have very happy former clients. So if you have an accident, come join our team and let us work for you. I would like to personally meet every one of you.
