Exceptional Attorney

Shawn is the most compassionate, kind and caring man. He listens intently to your story and helps you heal from the trauma of an accident. He is so relatable and does not pass judgement. He is available for conversation all along the way. He won my case for more then I ever thought I would get. Jenny... was the paralegal on my case and she went over and beyond to keep me updated along the way. Her upbeat and positive manner kept me hopeful of a positive outcome. She talked with me when I had questions and always put me in touch with Shawn when needed. Shawn has a stellar team around him to get justice out of a tragic situation! Can’t forget Debi who worked diligently behind the scenes wit all the paperwork and letters! Thank you team Briggs! I highly recommend Shawn Briggs if you find yourself in a vehicular accident. You will be grateful you made the decision!

Best in the business

I hired Mr. Briggs after I got into an accident over a year ago. He listened to everything I had to say and immediately went to work on my case. Both him and his staff were very helpful and kept me well informed every step of the way. I was very satisfied with the outcome of it all!

Excellent representation and results

Legal cases take time and the work of a good lawyer on your behalf -- with good results -- makes it worth the wait. Shawn Briggs represented us well with professionalism, confidence and excellence without being haughty. And we were exceedingly pleased with the outcome of our case. We highly recommend... Mr. Briggs because of his depth of knowledge, impressive expertise, and years of experience as a downright good lawyer.

My husband's and my lawyer for our Car Accident

The day after our car accident which took place on our way to work, my husband and I met with Shawn Briggs and his staff. Our journey through the rigors of sorting through the fall-out from a serious car accident began. Mr. Brigg's office guided us through our medical needs while he, himself, tackl...ed the legal ramifications. I especially appreciated Mr. Briggs professional coverage on the day of our depositions. I felt like I was next to the "Master" during these moments of high stress. His experience in these matters was almost like a "warm blanket" that day while being questioned for 2 1/2 hours in a very cold-like legal environment. Thank you Shawn and your staff for your excellence and expertise in our case. Laurie Winkle

Amazing, Efficient, and Excellent work!

Jenny is a complete sweetheart that gives you updates as soon as you need them. She is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that any of your questions are answered, and I definitely appreciate that a lot! Shawn is also amazing with negotiating and his work! The other insurance decided that they ...only wanted to pay $13,000 which Shawn did not agree with, so we filed a lawsuit against them for more money. They ended up settling to pay out the maximum for their insurance, but Shawn was determined that that was still not enough for the accident that was caused, so he negotiated with my insurance company to get more. My PIP reimbursement ($5,000) was completely waived, I received $25,400 from the other insurance, and $20,000 from my insurance. The whole process took only a matter of 2-3 months after being discharged from the doctors and they received all of my medical chart. I'm currently just waiting on my final settlement check to go through now, but should receive it within the next 2-3 weeks. I couldn't be any more happier with the end results and will definitely recommend using them to anyone interested in looking for lawyer.

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.
