Great service & Compassionate in our time of need

We had 2 other attorneys before we found the Griffin Law Firm. To be honest I really did not want to use an attorney. But the insurance company treated us like trash. We found the Griffin Law Firm on the internet. We were very happy with the way they treated us, we were not just a number - we were pe...ople. They always respecting our personal feelings while still fighting hard against the insurance company. They became more like an extended family then just our lawyer. I highly recommend Richard and his staff - a fine group of people.

Great Law Firm

A few years ago my family and I were in a car accident. The medical bills were pilling up and I didn't know where to turn. My brother-in-law referred me to his attorney, the Griffin Law Firm and they were great! They real were a caring law firm, always answering my questions and really making my situ...ation easier to deal with. When it was all said and done, I got what I deserved. They are a great law firm.

Great attorney who kept me informed and was dedicated to my case

I liked the consistency of staying in touch keeping me informed of whats going on with my case. I would definitely recommend Attorney Richard Griffin and The Griffin Law Firm because of their dedication of trying to get my case resolved.

Satisfied

They were quick sending an investigator to go over my case. Helped me with questions I had about paperwork that the insurance company sent and I didn't know about. Fast responses every time I tried to contact them, and once I was done with therapy they were quick into getting the paperwork together.

poor law firm

slow to respond or act and they leave you hanging when they say they are going to do something. I was with Mr. Griffin and never saw him. all work done by paralegals who pass you around. I had to do all the leg work including finding my doctors and treatment. Nothing got done in a year and a half. th...en he passed me over to a bother firm making sure to keep his 50% for doing nothing. very poor professional service.

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.
