Gailor Hunt Davis Taylor & Gibbs

What Gailor Hunt Davis Taylor & Gibbs does

Gailor Hunt Davis Taylor & Gibbs, PLLC is a Raleigh, North Carolina-based law firm founded in 1994 that practices exclusively in family law, with primary concentration in separation and divorce. The firm represents individuals in contested and uncontested divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, alimony and spousal support, equitable distribution of property and debt, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, domestic violence matters, paternity, grandparents' rights, parenting coordination, and family law appeals, and also provides mediation and arbitration services for out-of-court settlement. The client base consists of individuals and families across the Raleigh Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, and surrounding communities), serving both payor and payee spouses in support matters.

The firm operates as a professional partnership rather than a technology platform, with no proprietary software, app, or AI product offering disclosed. Distribution is built around a sales-led go-to-market in which prospective clients initiate contact via the firm's website contact form, phone at (919) 832-8488, or in-person visits, followed by a 90-minute initial consultation with two attorneys. Marketing and brand-building are reinforced through an active blog, an FAQ library on North Carolina family law, the multi-season "A Year and a Day: Divorce Without Destruction" podcast hosted by partner Jaime Davis on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and a companion book by Davis. Senior credentials include board-certified family law specialists, certified parenting coordinators, and NCDRC certified family financial mediators, and the firm is co-managed by Jaime Davis and Cathy Hunt.

Revenue is generated through professional-service fees for legal representation and alternative dispute resolution on a per-matter basis; specific fee schedules and pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed. The firm has 11–50 employees and a single Raleigh office at 1101 Haynes Street, Suite 201, with no reported subsidiaries, funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investment. Brand equity is supported by multi-year recognition as a Best Family Law Firm by Raleigh residents, 2026 Business North Carolina Legal Elite honors for four attorneys, Best Lawyers in America selections, and Super Lawyers designations.
