The Best lawyer I've ever hired

I have been using Kristin for several months now and she has been BEYOND AMAZING. I had a consultation with her about 6 months before I hired her and she was so informative and helped me pull together a plan on what I needed to do and when I could take my custody case back to court. Yall she told me ...what I needed to be doing to help myself BEFORE I even hired her. Then when I did hire her it wasn't long before she got things moving. Kristin and her team explain everything to me before they do anything. I am ALWAYS in the loop about what's happening in my case and she listens to all of my concerns and always informs me of what my options are. I have had to bring my kids with me to an appointment and she was so sweet to them and made me feel so at ease about me having to bring them that day. I truly can not recommend her enough. If you want a lawyer that truly cares about you and your case and will fight for you Kristin Riggan is your girl! 20/10 would recommend.

Best Attorney, hands down!

Kristin has represented me on numerous occasions. Personal, business, you name it. We met about 10 years ago when I was going through my divorce. She was thorough and didn’t leave a rock unturned. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family, as she is a wealth of knowledge in many arenas. Y...ou won’t find another like her!

Attorney review

I hired Kristan Riggan to represent me in my divorce. She was courteous, listened, performed her duties as my attorney flawlessly. I would gladly recommend her to others, in fact, i already have.

child custody

very good services from the Riggan law firm. i was awarded full custody of my son after only the 2nd court date. MRS Riggan was very experienced in that area and was able to bring immediate results to the courtroom.

"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.
