Shawn Briggs and his team are fabulous!

Shawn Briggs and his team have been fabulous. I was in 2 accidents in less than 2 years, neither of them my fault. From the initial consultation with Shawn and throughout the process of settling the first claim (2nd one is still ongoing), the entire team was just WONDERFUL. My paralegal, Jennifer R...oper, has been in constant contact with me throughout the duration, and is always willing to answer any question I have, no matter how trivial I thought the question was. I would HIGHLY recommend Shawn and his team to anyone who has been involved in an accident. I was unsure about obtaining a lawyer in the beginning, but I am so glad I did. PROTECT YOURSELF and call Shawn Briggs!!!

Extended Care

I wasn’t expecting too much because of the circumstances of the accident. I explained everything to Shawn as I could remember it knowing there were questions I could not answer. Looking back after the resolution of this case it was very clear that the level of his investigation of this incident and t...ime spent preparing was much more than I had expected. I was also amazed at the abilities of his staff. How they worked together and how I was treated as his client. To say I was very happy would be a gross understatement.

Thanks for everything!

Thanks to the crew at Briggs and Briggs, especially Jennifer Roper who held my hand through the process with courtesy, consideration, and professionalism. Our case settled, and I was very please with how they handled every step. They were efficient and skilled, and we received more than I expected.... Way to go!

car accident

Shawn and his staff were very helpful in my case. Shawn's level of experience spoke confidence in the way he handled my case. His confidence constantly reminded me I was in good hands. His firm kept me up to date about my case from time to time. The office was a friendly setting and I never felt inti...midated or unwanted. They answered my questions in promptly manner. I was never disappointed at any point during the case. This is law at its best. I will definitely go back

Really great

I was in a car accident last year and his firm helped me get what I deserved for a settlement. It was fast and I was completly shocked in the end. He found hard to get what he thought was fair for me. His people kept me well informed.

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.
