Very professional

She is very attentive to details of our case. Always keeping up to date with law changes. Advise us according to law. Representation in court was courteous yet, confident.

Amazing attorney! Just hire her now!

Kristin helped me in the worst moments of my life. She helped both legally and emotionally throughout my divorce/custody battle. She knows when to hold her ace and when to play her hand in the game. She shows non-judgemental compassion throughout the whole process as well. I truly feel that her passi...on for helping people in difficult times is what drives her to be an amazing attorney. She gives you good advice, even when it’s not the advice you want to hear. She guides you compassionately through the whole legal process. You can trust her with your case 100%!

Client

Kristin Riggan is knowledgeable, intelligent and fair, one of her best qualities is she is kind. She isn't afraid to listen or advise in her clients best interest. Kristin is accessible and always made me feel like I was the only client she was servicing. It was quite by accident I came to know... of Kristin, but what a blessing she and her assistant Anna became in my life. I would highly recommend Kristin Coston Riggan and her staff for you legal needs.

Posted by Janna | April 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Amazing!

I needed a lawyer to help me gain full custody after joint custody began to fall apart. I contacted Ms Riggan in late 2015 and met with her shortly afterwards. She agreed to take on my case and worked very hard. She is very knowledgeable and a real "go-getter". She is the best attorney that I have ev...er worked with! She kept me updated on every aspect of my case and kept me grounded. When I wanted to get upset about something she listened and helped me to make the right decisions for my children. She explained everything as it was happening in terms that made it easy for me to understand. I don't know what I would've done without her!

Just an amazing exsperince

Kristin has helped me go throw a divorce and custady battle that has been going on for about two years starting when I was over seas for the military. If I have ever had an issue or problem she had an answer and a solution. Kristin is very, very knowledge and experienced professional. There has never... been a point in time where I have felt uncomfortable or uninformed. She is great at what she does and will do anything to make sure I am not left out in the rain or confused. If something happens in court that I don't understand Kristen goes the Extra mile to exsplan it to me in a simpler way for me to understand. If anyone ever had an issue and not sure what to do I would recommend Kristin in a heart beat, not just because she is an amazing lawyer, It's the fact from the first time I meet kristin I didn't feal like it was just money she wanted but made me feal comfortable and reassured in my decision on why I picked her as my attorney ever step of the way.

"Kristin is charming and witty - but this lawyer is as tough as nails! I have seen her stand up to tremendous pressure and refuse to back down. Even a lawyer with 10 years more experience is no match for Kristin's ethical determination."

General practice lawyer | Apr 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I had the pleasure of attending law school with Kristin. During that time, we had several classes together, and I saw, first hand, that she had the knack of thinking like an attorney well before she earned her law degree. Since graduating, I've seen Kristin grow as an attorney. In the little time she's been licensed, she has built up enough clientele, through her time as an associate at another law firm, to branch out, hang up her own shingle, and practice solo. If you're in need of an attorney, Kristin is an attorney to consider. Smart, reasonable, and down to earth, she'd make a great advocate."

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.
