ALEXANDER GIBSON, JR.
James A. Gibson, Jr., member of the firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, of Los Angeles, has attained a prominent position among members of the California bar, and is recognized as one of the most successful of the young lawyers of the state. He is a native son, and was born in 1885 at San Bernardino. He is the son of the late James A. Gibson, who during his lifetime was one of the most distinguished attorneys on the Pacific coast, and it was under the able preceptorship of his father that Mr. Gibson received much of his legal training. He is also a graduate of Harvard University and of the law department of Leland Stanford University.
The firm of which Mr. Gibson is a member is one of the largest in California and represents a wide variety of interests, among which are the Los Angeles Railway Corporation, Santa Catalina Island Co., Huntington Land & Improvement Company, Baker Iron Works, Central Manufacturing District, Inc., Associated Oil Co., Wilmington Transportation Co., Pacific Coast Co., Griffith Co., Southern California Edison Co., and a number of bond houses.
Mr. Gibson holds membership in the American Bar Association, State Bar of California, and Los Angeles County Bar Association, as well as the California Club, Midwick Country Club, and Los Angeles Country Club. In 1913 he married Doris Davidson and they have two daughters, Jean Borland and Sally Waterman.
Like his distinguished father, Mr. Gibson has at all times exhibited the characteristics of decision and judgment so essential to the successful career in the field of the law, and as a result of the high standards he set for himself in early life he holds the respect and esteem of many friends, in and out of his profession.
