About Phillip C. Gilbert

Phillip (“Phil”) Gilbert grew up just outside the small Mid-Willamette Valley town of Lebanon, Oregon.  Phil’s family owned and operated a water well pump system business and Phil worked for the business during Summers, and some weekends, as well as after school.

Phil obtained an Associates Degree in 1983 (Linn-Benton Community College in Albany) and then his Bachelors Degree (Political Science) in 1985, from Oregon State University.

After graduating from Oregon State, Phil got married, and worked for a few years for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, working as a liability claims adjuster.  In the late 1980′s, Phil was accepted at Lewis & Clark College/Northwestern College of Law.  Phil obtained his Juris Doctor degree in 1992.

During law school Phil worked for a large Portland law firm that primarily represented insurance companies.  After he graduated from law school, Phil worked for two Portland “defense” firms, handling medical malpractice, automobile accident and other cases.  In March of 1995, Phil opened up his own firm, in Gresham, Oregon

I would definitely call on him again. He was very professional and he really cared about my injury and that I received a fair settlement.

Hired Attorney

I was totally unhappy with the Job he did. The first time when we hired him, he came to my house and was very nice and professional, but after that it was different, for instance we would come to his office and he would act like if he was mad. He also confused me once with one of his other clients. But the part the gets me little upset is that he would not be wanting to negotiate more with the adjuster. At some point I felt that I did the whole negotiation. He is very mean. I want to help people

Hired Attorney

When I hired an attorney, I thought I was gaining an advocate who would protect me and look out for my rights. Instead, I experienced more stress and problems from Mr. Gilbert than I did my significant disabling injuries from the accident. He admitted to looking out for his own interests, not mine. His conduct reflected that philosophy much to my detriment. Just getting my settlement money was a years long process. I finally had to threaten to call consumer news advocates after years of fighting

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
