Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.
Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speaking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

Legal Representation for Bucks County Individuals and Businesses
Business Transactions
A business’s legal needs change over time. Formation documents that worked at the beginning may no longer address current ownership, management, succession, or financial arrangements. New contracts may introduce obligations that affect the company for years.
Our business transactions lawyers assist with contracts, entity issues, operating agreements, ownership matters, transactions, business planning, and disputes among owners or business partners.
Real Estate Transactions and Property Disputes
Bucks County contains everything from densely developed communities in Lower Bucks to historic boroughs, commercial properties, suburban developments, and rural areas farther north. Real estate concerns may involve contracts, deeds, title, financing, easements, liens, boundaries, zoning, or disagreements over how property may be used.
Our Pennsylvania real estate lawyers help clients evaluate transactions and resolve property-related disputes.
Landlord-Tenant Law
Landlord-tenant disagreements can move quickly once rent is unpaid, a lease expires, property is damaged, or another alleged violation occurs. Our landlord-tenant attorneys assist property owners with lease preparation, notices, eviction-related matters, possession disputes, and other commercial or residential landlord concerns.
Employment Law
Employers must make decisions while balancing operational needs with employment laws and their own policies. Our employment attorneys advise businesses regarding termination, leave, discrimination complaints, overtime and wage issues, workplace policies, and other employment concerns.
Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning
An effective estate plan should reflect the property a person actually owns, who should manage affairs if incapacity occurs, and how assets should pass after death. Our estate planning attorneys assist with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, incapacity planning, and related wealth-transfer issues.
Estate Administration
After a death, the person responsible for administering the estate may need to deal with probate, estate property, creditors, taxes, records, distributions, and other fiduciary obligations. Our estate administration lawyers guide executors and other fiduciaries through this process.
Estate and Trust Disputes
A disagreement involving an estate can concern the validity of a will, conduct of an executor or trustee, beneficiary rights, capacity, undue influence, accountings, or distribution of assets. Our estate litigation attorneys assist when these issues become contested.
Tax Controversy
Tax problems may involve unpaid liabilities, audits, liens, collection action, administrative disputes, or questions about how to respond to a state or federal taxing authority. Our tax attorneys help individuals and businesses assess these matters and determine available options.
Commercial Litigation
Contract breaches, ownership conflicts, payment disputes, and other business disagreements sometimes require litigation. Our commercial litigation lawyers help clients evaluate the evidence, risks, costs, and possible paths toward resolution.
Legal Malpractice Claims
Legal malpractice cases often require a close look at what the attorney was required to do, what occurred, and whether the alleged error caused measurable harm. Our legal malpractice lawyers evaluate these claims and the underlying legal matter.
Accounting Malpractice
When professional accounting work is alleged to have caused financial harm, the dispute may require review of accounting services, financial records, taxes, transactions, and the professional obligations involved. Our accounting malpractice attorneys assist with these matters.
Civil Appellate Matters
A civil appeal requires careful review of the trial record and legal issues preserved for review. Our appellate lawyers can assist with briefing, legal research, appellate strategy, and argument in Pennsylvania civil appeals.
