The best attorney for results...
There is no other choice. Results matter. Most importantly, he gives you open access to his office where he and his staff keeps you updated and in control of your claim. You feel like family. I submitted a claim and Mr. Giddens fought for me. I got every dollar amount I asked for and I was made whole. Many thanks to he and his firm- I still feel like family and that matters in life...

This is who you bring in for the Homerun.
John is the type of guy you want on your side. His experience and successes in the courtroom all come from his innate way to connect with his clients. He avidly prepares for his cases. He is fighting for you! He is not afraid to ask the tough questions, rather, he gets right to them. He is not a lawyer to "beat around the bush" and I am so glad that I know he will be on the other side of a phone call if I need him.

strongly recommend
Mr. Giddens was interested in my well-being. He was easy to talk to and explained in detail the facts of my case. He was persistent and looked out for my best interest. His staff was friendly and helpful, especially Shannon. I would use his services again!

Treated me like a friend not a number!
John really cares about me. He took the time to listen to what was going on; to hear my experience. Even though I was involved in a class action, he never made me feel like a number. He always gave it to me straight and fair. Other lawyers had passed on getting involved with this case because of the unlikelihood that my case would prevail. John took the case and fought, not months, but years and won!

Best Lawyer Ever
I had a case against the local sherriff department for shooting me in the back, resulting in a spinal cord injury. This case took a very long time to get to court and also involved criminal charges against me. He made sure I had help for that as well as him helping me with the personal injury. In the 5 years that it took I found that I didn't just have a lawyer but a friend. Actually many friends John, Betsy, Kimberly, Shannon, I know I can allways call and talk to someone. I never felt left out, I always knew what was going on with my case. John has sat in my living room too many times to count. He's laughed with me and cried with me, he took the time to understand what I was going through. The entire firm made sure that I was treated like a person instead of just another case number. Even after everything was said and done they are still there for me helping me. I will never regret hiring them, it was the best decision I ever made.

This was for the Oxycotin lawsuit against Pharma. My husband Tony was given the drug for neck pain and became VERY addicted to it. The Law firm kept in touch with us and since about the middle of summer, we have been in contact with Kimberly Williams. She has been the nicest and most caring and supportive contact for the Giddens Firm and she made all the paperwork and waiting very easy. She always responded to my email with an email or phone call. We cannot say enough nice things about her. If she is a reflection, and I am sure she is, of John D Giddens, then if we ever need a lawyer in the future, we will absolutly use them.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have tried cases with and against John. He is not afraid to take and try a hard case in order to obtain justice for his clients. This attitude has led to multiple large verdicts for his clients. He is also much better at negotiating settlements than most lawyers. There are many imposters in the realm of personal injury law. John is the real deal."

"As a defense attorney I have had several cases opposing John and have always found him to be honest and straightforward. It is always a pleasure working on cases with him.
