William F. Gibson II has represented and advised homebuilders and land developers, both national and local, for most of his legal career.  While principally involved with civil litigation matters, Bill’s experience includes many and various issues related to the construction/homebuilding industry.

Among the many different types of builder- and construction-related matters with which he has been involved, Bill has dealt with cases involving contract compliance/breach, mechanic’s lien, delay, defect, EIFS (synthetic stucco), mold, fraud and consumer protection.  These cases have ranged in size and scope from post-closing customer warranty disputes to multi-million dollar disputes with condominium unit owners’ associations.  Outside of the litigation arena, Bill has also drafted, reviewed and negotiated contracts and consumer disclosure documents, and been engaged in various other forms of dispute avoidance avenues.  In addition to his client counsel and representation, Bill also volunteers his time acting as a conciliator for the Fairfax County Circuit Court, and working on projects for Habitat for Humanity.
