Here are some things people have said about me.

Over my years, I have both directly and indirectly had a hand in hiring of more than 100 attorneys. I can honestly say that no one has ever impressed me more than you.

You were one of the stars and extraordinary lawyers that I have worked with over the many years of my legal career.

Libbey took over my case, which had been going on for a couple of years, and immediately there were changes. She was very meticulous in her work and explained the process thoroughly, and without her I would not have gotten such a favorable outcome in such a short amount of time. Libbey is one of the most determined, hardest-working lawyers I have ever known. The clients she represents are not just clients. She turned an unpleasant experience into a positive one.

You are a real trial attorney, brilliant, fearless, and you care. Thanks for always being there and being such a great friend and presence.

I worked with Libbey (and other lawyers) last year on a very complicated case. She was a delight to work with, smart as all ‘git out’ (pardon my Texan), and full of energy and ideas.

Libbey and her team did a fantastic job with my case! She is very determined and kept me in the loop through the entire thing. Libbey was very nice and approachable!!

I have been a federal criminal defense attorney for 27 years and had multiple cases with Libbey when she was an AUSA. As a prosecutor Libbey was a straight shooter, who was able to look at more than just what my client did in the past. She has a knack for doing the right thing, which allowed her in one particular case to focus on whether my client, who made a mistake, needed to be prosecuted to avoid future mistakes. Unlike most former federal prosecutors, Libbey has the kind of ‘balance’ that allows her to strategically ‘think like a criminal defense lawyer’ and represent the accused, while at the same thing having the mindset and ability to protect the interests of victims in a civil context.

We had to warn our witnesses that your style of taking a deposition was friendly and engaging to the point of being disarming. Many lawyers struggle to become good litigators. Your litigation skills are a natural part of your personality. 

Opposing counsel 

 

You are a great human and lawyer! The real deal. You are such a pleasure to work with and amazing at what you do! I love that you are reimaging and redefining what it means to represent your clients. I would not hesitate to recommend you.

Former client

 

You were such a caring and kick-ass lawyer for us when we were feeling beat up and pushed around. Thank you again for being such a beautiful soul and healing influence on our lives. You have a place in our hearts forever.

Former client

 

You are a remarkable force for good—passionate, strong, brilliant, creative, thoughtful, and deeply caring. Any trial lawyer who has several of those attributes should be pleased, but you are what baseball afficionados reverently call a 5-tool player. [6 in this case!]

I’m a defense attorney in Dallas, Texas; while working on a sentencing memorandum tonight, I stumbled across what you filed for P.R. In case no one has told you today . . . you can write. (While the statement deserved to be punctuated with an expletive, considerations of couth resulted in its removal.) That’s all.

Your “smart, kind” lawyer approach is rubbing off on me. Turns out it is both effective and makes me feel better about my job and myself.
