ATTENTION FATHERS!!! My case took place a while ago, but I had my initial consultation with this firm, giving intimate details of my situation to Goldberg and Jones. I waited before making final decisions and before hiring anyone. About a month passed by and I found out my ex had retained Nathan Gibbs at this firm. BIG mistake for Goldberg and Jones. These firms are required by law to keep record of who they had consults with and cannot represent an opposing party after they've been given intimate details of the case from the opposite side. I didn't know this until well after the fact (first time divorcee). There was nothing professional about the way Mr. Gibbs treated me and in fact it was downright nasty. My ex also indicated that Mr. Gibbs told her not to show up to a child exchange which resulted in police intervention. Mr. Gibbs was set on a path to destroy and was constantly emailing me and using bullish tactics and threats. I eventualy emailed his boss who removed him from the case, knowing they had violated the law by representing my ex because I pointed this out. Now Fathers, would you really want to be represented by a firm who "says" they fight for fathers but then try to destroy a father while aiding and abetting a vindictive ex?? Look elsewhere for your representation because these guys are sloppy. There's a special place in hell for lawyers like Nathan Gibbs. RESPONSE TO G&J BELOW COMMENTS: Contrary to what Goldberg and Jones says and While Goldberg and Jones intends to cover its tracks, there was an initial consultation done with this firm. Both parties (ex and I) lived out of state, there wasn't any way either party could show up at their office. But the online forms were filled out and e-mails and telephone conversations were exchanged. Here is the letter that Mr. Gibbs sent me: Hello Mr. Shaffer: Due to your emails with my managing attorney in April I have determined that there is a potential conflict of interest and I cannot represent Ms. Shaffer going forward. Attached is my Notice of Withdrawal; filed today and effective immediately. Let me know if you would like a hard copy as well. Please be advised that I was not aware of the potential conflict until this morning and none of the information shared with my managing attorney was conveyed to Ms. Shaffer. Thank you. Nathan M. Gibbs Attorney at Law ------------------------------------ Potential conflict of interest? You think???? Really? The information given to this firm was used against me in a case for my ex. If Goldberg and Jones would like to settle this dispute in court, then I'm all for it, however I live out of state so it's not worth the time of going back to Washington. Secondly, this does not excuse a lawyer who conducts himself unprofessionally, using intimidating and fear tactics and poor judgement. His client was hanging on a thread of being arrested by the county sheriff. It is true that a Washington State Bar complaint was placed and dismissed. That complaint was about the professional conduct of the attorney, Nathan Gibbs. Not the firm's or his involvement in conflict of interest. A second complaint was never placed, but should've been.
