My husband and I did everything possible to comply with the terms of our chapter 13 case. Our previous attorney failed us in many ways. While we we were able to achieve our goal and complete the plan, it was not disclosed that we needed additional action. Mr. Riggi was amazing in helping us to solidify our closure to the matter at hand. He brings empathy, compassion, and law experience like no other I have ever encountered. I left 6 messages for a return call regarding our case. He called. He was concerned and wanted to help. Great integrity

Absolutely incredible
This was the best experience I've had with a lawyer, other than having lunch with my aunt. David is amazingly helpful. After taking my initial call, he called back within the hour to discuss his research. He is very thorough. I hope I never find my self in this situation again, but if I do, at least I only need to make one call now.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
| Consulted Attorney
unreliable, desrespectable,unprofessional and Lazy!
I had phone consultation on the phone 2 days ago and we sent out email with basic information as he instructed. We didn't get any respond from him so we contacted him on the phone again.. he said he will send out email right away but didn't hear anything till next day. When I called him again he said he doesn't want to represent my case..? I don't think he even knows the meaning of "right away" or "immediately" and also shows lack of concern towards to his clients. Very disappointed. I actually feeling lucky that he didn't take my case!
