A Truly Honest and Fair Attorney

After a car accident, surgeries, and nerve damage I had given up on my case after being told by an litigation firm that my medical bills were so high that I wouldn't get anything from the settlement. I felt as though I had no choice but to accept what I was told; over six months had passed. I had no ...idea Richard Griffin had inquired about my case, stepped in, took back my case, and negotiated all the medical bills. Within 30days or so he had a check for me over $25,000! If you want fair treatment, if you don't want to lose sleep wondering if you chose the right attorney, and if you want to feel confident that your attorney really does care about you and your case then you need to call Richard Griffin. Without question, if it wasn't for Mr. Griffin I wouldn't have received anything from the settlement. Thank you so much Mr. Griffin for working so hard on my case and looking out for my best interests.

The Law Mattered, So Did I

After our accident, my son and I needed help. Though he received the ticket, the at-fault driver was making wild accusations to the police. He didn't care that my baby boy and I were injured and that my only transportation was damaged. But, the Griffin Law Firm cared. After one call, I received the... consultation and services needed. The law mattered to the Griffin Law Firm - and so did I.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
