Heather R. Reese

Heather R. Reese is an Associate Attorney at Gibbons Legal in Philadelphia whose practice focuses on personal injury matters, particularly motor vehicle accidents and premises liability claims. She brings experience handling injury cases and emphasizes individualized client interaction and detailed claims work. Her practice involves helping injured people document how accidents affect their health, work, finances, and daily lives while developing liability and damages evidence for negotiation or litigation against insurers and other responsible parties.

Heather obtained a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Delaware and later earned a law degree from Delaware Law School – Widener University. While in law school, she began her legal career as an intern with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, where she worked on domestic violence matters. That experience, followed by years in personal injury practice, provided training in investigation, case preparation, client communication, and advocacy that now supports her work for people injured in accidents and unsafe property conditions.

Heather previously worked for one of Pennsylvania’s larger personal injury firms, where she developed experience with claims adjusters, defense lawyers, court staff, and the practical management of injury cases. At Gibbons Legal, her focus on motor vehicle and premises liability claims requires review of accident facts, medical treatment, insurance issues, property conditions, and damages. Her earlier prosecutorial internship and later plaintiff-side experience give her familiarity with gathering evidence, developing case narratives, and preparing matters for resolution or trial.

Heather R. Reese is a member of the Hispanic National Bar Association and the Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania. She has spoken at Women in Trial and Women in Leadership events and at colleges and universities on professional development and leadership. Her practice combines personal injury litigation, client-centered case preparation, public speaking, and professional advocacy, with a particular focus on helping people pursue recovery after vehicle accidents and injuries caused by dangerous property conditions.
