Thankful for the great job done.

Four years ago, I had a car accident. Four to six weeks later, I realized I needed guidance, counsel, directions, advice how to handle my health direction, legal burden, bills, and responsibility boundaries. I contacted Shawn Briggs Law Offices, in Lakewood, WA where I had an initial visit with one o...f the staffs who guided me through the process, first to take care of myself, to gather evidences document help our case strong, powerful and presentable for a final objectives. Today, I can say Shawn Briggs & Briggs Law Offices job well done.

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

A GREAT law firm

I had never been involved in a personal injury case before and was not sure where to start.A friend recommended I go talk with Shawn.I can't say enough good things about he and the legal assistant who was assigned to my case!They took care of everything from start to finish.My case recently was settl...ed out of court and I was very pleased with the outcome!I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and personal etiquette of the entire staff.I also appreciated how informed they kept me throughout the process and if I did have a question,they always responded in a timely manner.If you're looking for character,integrity and knowledge,you won't find a better firm to help you !

Accident case

I got into a car accident about 16 months ago. i had never been in an accident and my insurance company acted like they didn't want to help me. My sister took me to Briggs and Briggs because she had use them before and was served very well. it was my first real experience with an attorney's office... and a case. They took excellent care of me and my case. They sent me to good doctors and always kept me informed. I received the max on both of my cases. The staff was wonderful I couldn't have asked for any better. Thank you Briggs and Briggs and I will use you again if needed and I would HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that any one needing an accident lawyer to call you ASAP.

WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE?

I think we've all heard the stereotypes of lawyers. Well thank God Mr. Briggs was not one. I really wasn't sure of what action to after my car accident. I had persistent pain that only increased as time went on. My husband actually was the one to find the office in the phone book . He was a tre...mendous help to us. There are many proffessions in which it obvious that it is merely a duty but there is no care for the service being offered. This was not my experience.

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.
