Elizabeth R. Gibson is a local attorney in ​Albany, Georgia. She is a member of the ​State Bar of Georgia and is current President ​of the Dougherty Circuit Bar Association. As ​a wife, mother, and Albany native, she is ​guided professionally by her devotion to her ​family and community and her passion for ​the pursuit of justice.

Prior to defense work, Elizabeth was a ​prosecutor with the Dougherty County ​District Attorney’s Office. Before then, she ​took a non-traditional route and became a ​teacher immediately after law school and ​came back to her hometown to do so. There, ​she encouraged student growth through ​innovation, exploration, and technology. She ​challenged her students to strive beyond ​their circumstances and even exposed them ​to the legal field by forming the inaugural ​Mock Trial team for her Alma Mater, ​Dougherty Comprehensive High School.

As the Immediate President of the Beta Omega ​Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, she continues to motivate the youth through public ​speaking and mentoring within her local community and surrounding counties. She also serves on the ​ministerial staff at her church, Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church, and supports the youth there. ​Furthermore, she uses her platform as the Vice President of the Albany Region of the Georgia Association of ​Black Women Attorneys to keep her community abreast of legal issues and their civil liberties.

Her personal motto is: “If everyone is lifting at the same time and going in the same direction, it really isn’t ​that heavy.” With this belief deeply embedded within, Elizabeth continues to strive for excellence by ​creating an explorational montage of life experiences.
