Personal Injury Lawyer

Mr. Richard Griffin, I hired to handle my personal injury case was the best choice I made to deal with an Insurance company difficult to communicate with and very reluctant to pay their fair share for coverage of my personal injury claim. However, from day one Mr. Griffin & Staff was very profession...al answering all my questions, explaining the complexity of issues which helped me understand my rights as a plaintiff to a fair settlement. I would like to recommend this law firm to anyone needing a attorney to represent them expecting and receiving the best legal advice money can buy. I am filled with admiration, joy, how my case was completed with fast, honest, accurate results, in which I can live with. I send my thanks to Mr. Richard & Staff for superb, professional service, and a pleasant experience handling my personal injury case. I will use your services again if the need arises.

Good Comunication. Worked quickly.

Initially, I thought I could handle the insurance company on my own but after some consideration, I decided to hire Richard Griffin to handle my auto accident. He made it a point to reach out to me a few times throughout my case and often explained details in my case I would have missed otherwise. My... case manager Amy was always available to talk if I had any questions. To my surprise I ended up settling shortly after I was done with my treatment for more than I was expecting. I'd definitely hire em again.

Considerate and Caring

I hired the Griffin Law Firm for my diminished value claim. I had a car that was in an accident causing a substantial about of damage to my car. I tried to handle the claim on my own and got no where. The insurance company was offering me a very low amount. Then I hired the Griffin Law Firm and they ...stepped in and made the insurance company pay the full amount that was owed to me. They keep me informed !!! They are considerate and they are very caring law firm. They cared for me and the situation that I was going thru. I would hire the Griffin Law Firm again.

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.

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.

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.
