Gibson Law Group - Orlando, FL

Board Certified Construction Law and Engineering Insight in Orlando, Florida

The construction industry involves intricate technical specifications, building codes, and significant financial exposure. When projects encounter delays, structural defects, or contractual deadlocks, general legal counsel is rarely sufficient. Located on East Pine Street in Orlando, Florida, Gibson Law Group provides an advantage: founding attorney Donald H. Gibson brings over four decades of construction and engineering experience to every matter. Along with Florida Bar Board Certification in construction law, Mr. Gibson is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) and a LEED Accredited Professional.

Prior to founding his boutique practice, Mr. Gibson was an equity partner in the construction department of GrayRobinson, P.A., one of the nation's largest firms. His background in power plant design, industrial construction, and mechanical systems enables him to analyze building failures and engineering defects with technical precision. When commercial projects face contentious disputes, choosing to hire an attorney who understands construction from both the field and the courtroom protects client investments and drives decisive results.

By deciphering architectural drawings and forensic engineering reports directly, the firm identifies weaknesses in the opposing party's claims early in litigation.
