About Ken

Ken Gibson began his professional trail in regulation after completing undergraduate research in foreign affairs on the University of Virginia and earning a Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law. He graduated from UVA in 1990 and finished law program in 1994. Those credentials set the stage for a profession split between public service and private practice.

His first position out of law program used to be as an associate on the Law Offices of Douglas P. McGee in Richmond in 1994. The following year he joined Legislative Services for the Virginia General Assembly as a body of workers lawyer, a role that uncovered him to the mechanics of state lawmaking and legislative drafting. In 1998 he moved into prosecution as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Lawyer in Norfolk, gaining trial experience and handling criminal things at the nearby degree.

In 2004 he took a federal post in Washington, D.C., serving as Deputy Chief of the Special Litigation and Criminal Sections of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice. In that capacity he supervised litigation and assisted in managing matters that raised complicated civil rights and criminal law questions. He later returned to personal practice and opened the Law Office of Kenneth Gibson in 2009, where he built a small practice handling a variety of civil and criminal things.

In 2013 he joined GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Lawyers as a partner. That move aligned him with a firm dedicated to injury regulation and allowed him to pay attention more consistently on civil legal proceedings on behalf of injured plaintiffs. Over the years he has handled trials and appeals, and he continues to split time between making ready instances for court and negotiating resolutions.

Gibson's expert affiliations mirror a mix of nearby and countrywide engagement. He is a recent member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association of Justice and has belonged to the Middle Peninsula Bar Association since 2009. Those memberships keep him connected to peers and advancements in litigation practice throughout the state and nation.
