About Shawn
Biography
Shawn Briggs is an experienced personal injury lawyer whose practice is devoted entirely to people and families
who have been harmed by the negligence of others.
Shawn Briggs began his career in 1986 after graduating cum laude from the University of Puget Sound School of
Law. He joined his father, Robert R. Briggs, who had been a prominent trial lawyer since 1952. Together they formed
the personal injury law firm of Briggs & Briggs.
Shawn is a Fellow of the National College of Advocacy and a graduate of the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.
He has chaired and presented trial skills seminars to local, state and national trial lawyer's associations and has
served in numerous board and committee positions. Shawn was elected to chair the Small Office Practice Section of
the American Association for Justice (AAJ is the world's largest trial bar). He was also a founding member of the AAJ's
Low-Speed Impact Group. He has been named a Super Lawyer by Washington Law & Politics and a top Trial Lawyer
by the National Trial Lawyers Association.
Today Shawn handles cases ranging from modest auto accidents to multi-million dollar claims involving catastrophic
injuries or death from auto, truck, motorcycle, construction, police pursuits and governmental negligence. His results
have successfully helped compensate his clients for the damages they have suffered and led to changes in how people,
corporations, police and government act to make us all safer from negligence.
I Would Be Pleased To Answer Any Questions About Your Auto Accident Or Personal Injury Claim.

highest recommendation
Mr. Briggs was highly competent and effective on my PI case. He knows the local judges and defense attorneys. He does not cut corners on service. He kept me informed. He was very fair on his compensation. He earned my complete trust - perhaps my highest complement.

Continued Satisfaction
I have used Briggs and Briggs for about 14 years now and they have never failed to meet all of my expectations. When an issue is not part of their practice Shawn has always referred myself and friends to the appropriate and reputable counselor.

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.

AMAZING
I hired Shawn about 4 years ago for my MVA and him and his staff were so helpful! They took care of everything for me and always kept me informed. He got me all the treatment I needed and was able to settle with the insurances in a timely matter.
