Gibson & Perkins

What Gibson & Perkins does

Gibson & Perkins, PC is a privately held professional law corporation founded in 2001 and headquartered in Media, Pennsylvania, with a secondary office in Haddon Heights, New Jersey. The firm operates as a full-service legal practice across two jurisdictions (Pennsylvania and New Jersey), delivering transactional and litigation services through seven attorneys — five of whom hold LLMs in Taxation and two of whom are also CPAs — supported by paralegal and administrative staff within an 11-50 employee range. Practice areas span business transactions, real estate, estate planning, estate administration, tax controversy, commercial litigation, legal malpractice, accounting malpractice, orphans' court litigation, civil appellate, and personal injury matters.

The firm generates revenue through professional legal services billed on hourly, flat-fee, or contingent (personal injury) arrangements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is content-led and referral-driven: the firm maintains a 69-page legal blog, a video FAQ library organized by practice area, a podcast, three books authored by Managing Attorney Edward Perkins, and an online CPE platform (YourOnlineProfessor.net) targeting CPA professionals. Sub-brand websites (LegalMalPA.com, LegalMalNJ.com, delcoestateplanning.com, gibperkbusiness.com, PerkinsEquityGroup.com) are deployed to capture high-intent search traffic in specific niches. Customer acquisition is mediated through free case reviews, direct phone consultation, and organic search visibility rather than paid acquisition or partnership channels.

Customer segmentation is broad and horizontally distributed across individual consumers (personal injury, estate planning, tax controversy), small businesses (business transactions, real estate, commercial litigation), and professionals (malpractice claims against attorneys and accountants). The firm serves a long-tail of SMB and individual clients rather than concentrated enterprise accounts, with no disclosed anchor clients or recurring enterprise contracts. There is no evidence of institutional investors, private equity backing, or parent company ownership; the firm is owned by its practicing attorneys and operates on a professional corporation model.

Direct peers

• Wright Giammarino LLP: A small Media, PA-based firm focused on estate planning, estate administration, and tax matters serving Delaware County clients. Most directly comparable niche competitor given shared specialty in estate/tax law, same Media-Delaware County geography, and similar small-firm scale.
• Falco & Cusack LLC: Media, PA-based law firm serving Delaware County with business, estate planning, real estate, and litigation services. Directly comparable given same Media-Pennsylvania footprint, similar size (small firm), and overlapping general-practice service mix targeting the same suburban Philadelphia client base.
• Reger Rizzo & Darnall LLP: A mid-sized suburban Philadelphia / Delaware County-area law firm offering business, real estate, estate planning, tax, and litigation services. Directly comparable in regional positioning, similar practice mix, and suburban-Philadelphia client base.
• Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman PC: Philadelphia-based regional firm with construction, business, real estate, and litigation practices. Comparable as a Pennsylvania-headquartered mid-sized firm serving business clients across similar practice areas, though with a more construction-sector tilt.
• Timoney Knox LLP: Fort Washington, PA-based suburban Philadelphia firm offering business law, real estate, estate planning, tax, and litigation services. Comparable in practice-area breadth and regional Pennsylvania client focus, though slightly larger and more established.
• Lantern Law Firm (formerly Rand-Robinson): A Delaware County / Media, PA-based law firm offering comparable regional general-practice legal services including business, real estate, estate planning, and family law. Most directly comparable given shared geographic footprint and overlapping practice areas in the same suburban Philadelphia market.

Regional players

• Stern & Eisenberg PC: Pennsylvania-based firm specializing in real estate, foreclosure, and estate-planning services with offices across the state. Comparable in real estate and estate planning focus, with broader geographic coverage across Pennsylvania and adjacent states but narrower depth in business transactions and tax controversy.

Broad incumbents

• Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller: Philadelphia-based full-service regional firm with litigation, business, tax, and estate practices. Comparable in offering the same multi-disciplinary legal services to Philadelphia-area clients, but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Fox Rothschild LLP: Major Am Law 200 firm with deep Pennsylvania roots and full-service tax, estate, business, and litigation practices. Represents the broad-incumbent competitor absorbing sophisticated mid-market work that Gibson & Perkins also targets, though at much larger scale and broader geography.
