Among his most notable successes representing the rights and interests of his clients, Mr. Gibson secured a $12 million judgment for a client in a case where the opposing party purportedly tried to steal the plaintiff's printing business through fraudulent transactions and documents. This award stands as the largest ever awarded in the state for this type of case. Mr. Gibson also secured a judgment of more than $8 million for a client defrauded by unscrupulous securities brokers.

A 1987 graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio, Mr. Gibson obtained his Juris Doctor with honors and with a concentration in advocacy from Cornell Law School in 1991. While there, he served as executive editor of the International Law Journal, and he was the winner of the First Year Moot Court Competition. He also worked at the school's legal aid clinic.
