This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awful do not recommend at all use anyone else

Case is on year 3 and my lawyer and his office have done next to nothing. Have had to fax over the exact same paperwork hundreds of times that they misplace and they never have any answers for me. Lazy lawyer who doesn't know much about what he does. Again on year three and my settlement has yet to c...ome through. Do not recommend him at all find someone who is professional knows what they're doing and actually cares about more than how much money they're making. Awful awful awful just want my money this lazy lawyer has held onto for three years now.

W. Winston Briggs A Credit to the Law Profession

Mr. Briggs is a knowledgeable, trustworthy professional. He was my attorney when I fell. He studied every facet of my case and secured a very generous settlement. He was responsive to my needs, kept me informed and provided a positive confidence during the process.

incredible lawyer to meet all your injury needs. You deserve the best, visit Winston briggs!

Winston from day 1 listened to all my needs. His up to date technical information kept the opposition on there toes. In my particular case Winston helped me with a Hazmat injury claim. His knowledge on these kind of cases was incredible. He was able to find doctors who deal with these cases and he... was able to bring to light things I never knew existed with my injury. His experience in trials, litigations, and injury cases showed that he can handle anything that is thrown his way. I wanted the best, I found the best. You want results he's the man to do it.

Excellent representation!!

Mr. Briggs and his staff did a fantastic job with our case. We were well informed throughout the process and would highly recommend him to others.

Atanta Best Attorney

I have been fortunate to find (surfing the web) W. Winston Briggs Law Firm to take over my case after almost a year of being with a "highly recommended season" attorney who was unable to serve the defendant, claiming he was "too big to be served," here in Atlanta? Attorney Briggs accepted my case, wi...thin a month the defendant was served, and less than a year my case was settled. To him I am indebted for his enthusiastic, encouragement and support he and his staff offered throughout the handling of my case. Unlike any other law firm, they continue to keep me in the loop on how my case progressed. I highly recommend Winston Briggs Law Firm to anyone looking for an attorney in Atlanta who cares and have integrity in his work getting the case settled, without a doubt, he's the Best!
