Exceeded all expectations...

It has been 3 years in the making and I have agreed to settle based on the expert negotiations and relief Shawn has provided for me. He took away the stigma of an accident attorney. When I found myself in a difficult scenario of feeling like there were no further medical options, Shawn put me in fr...ont of experts that were able to make sure every recovery option was explored. I have never felt like he was rushing the case to settle for his own benefit. I will be highly recommending him to anyone in need of legal help!

OUTSTANDING LAWYER!!!

IN SUMMER 09 I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT; I WAS REAR ENDED BY THE DRIVER OF A WELL-KNOWN TAXI COMPANY. OUR FIRST LAWYER TOOK THE CASE AND WORKED ON IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE JUST GIVING UP COMPLETELY. HE WE WAS ALWAYS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. BRIGGS AND BRIGGS TOOK OVER. SHAUN BRIGGS AND HIS CREW... ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND HOW TO HANDLE THIS CASE. THEY TOOK CARE OF ALL ASPECTS OF MY CLAIM. THEY KEPT ME INFORMED AND UP TO DATE. THEY WERE COMPASSIONATE AND CARING AND NON-JUDGEMENTAL. THEY PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEED A WIN AND DID EVDERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO GETME AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE. I AM HAPPY TO SAY WE WON OUR CASE AUG 2011. THEY DESERVE 100 STARS. THANKYOU BRIGGS AND BRIGGS. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superb Job

Mr. Shawn Briggs worked directly with us during our out of state car accident, he kept us informed, and while the hospital bills piled up, he did everything in his power to ensure we received the largest and quickest results in our settlement. Mr. Briggs attention to all the details especially the l...ittle ones was incredible, he settled our suit for us at three plus times the original offer was. I would recommend Mr. Briggs to anyone that has been in an injury/car accident whether it is in state or out of state. He had an excellent reputation with the insurance company. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Hard working lawyer for his clients.

Mr Briggs and his team worked real hard to get me a reasonable setttlement, that I would have no way recieved if I would have been on my own. He fought hard and kept me informed as things progressed. He helped me not to get frustrated and ussured he would put all his effert in to my case. He was real...ly knowledgeable on how the insurence company thinks. Thank You so much Mr. briggs and his team. If ever needed I will use you again.

Shawn and his staff are the best at what they do

Shortly after my accident I had alot of questions regarding how I was going to deal with the financial needs that were to come with treatment, loss of wage, and what are the things that auto insurances are supposed to cover on my behalf. All of these questions and more were answered by Shawn Briggs ...and his excellent staff. They were able to insure that my needs were met, with the insurance company, and sort out the confusion for me that has become todays medical billing systems. I was able to concentrate on my treatment and take the time I needed to get back to work. And was able to recieve a settlement that is going to help me be able to continue with treatment. Without they're help I know I wouldn't have gotten fair treatment dealing with the Insurane company on my own. Thank you Briggs and Briggs well done

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.
