He Really Deserves 10 Stars

After an almost fatal slip and fall 5 years ago, my husband found Briny. Briny helped with every step of the incredibly long medical process (4 surgeries, countless medical devices, home care, etc.) Once we were assigned a court date, Briny brought in Greyson Goody to assist in depositions and tria...l preparation. I truly do not think I could have gotten through this very long nightmare without all of his help. Briny has become a friend, a dear one, along with being the best lawyer you could possibly ever want.

First To Contact Me. Very Helpful. Super-Nice Guy.

SO busy, but was the first Avvo attorney to call me back. He gave me a free phone consultation, during which he gave me helpful advice, and seemed genuinely concerned with my plight. Very professional, yet treated me like a friend. Super nice guy! Thank you Briny!

5 Stars!!

My experience was nothing but amazing. Briny worked really hard on my case. Him and his team always kept me updated with any new developments. I appreciated that I also had a say in certain big decisions. I would absolutely recommend Briny and his team to my family and friends.

A very positive experience.

At age 75 this was my first time requiring legal help and I feel very fortunate to have discovered Woods Law Firm. Briny Woods and his entire staff were very efficient and helpful and very very kind. They were always accessible if I had any questions and I had quite a few. My husband who is quite m...eticulous (a retired professional) had no complaints, and that by itself, says a lot. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of excellent legal assistance.

Injury case

Retaining Mr. Woods was the best decision I could have made. His office was very quick to answer any questions that I had through the entire process. Also, at no time did I ever feel intimidated. His professional demeanor made me confident in ever move we made. I will always call his office if I ever... need an attorney again also I will recommend his office to ANY person in need of excellent representation.

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.
