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!

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

Shawn B. Briggs is an Outstanding Attorney!!!

Shawn is a superb attorney. He handled a personal injury claim with an Insurance Company that was challenging to work with. As soon as we hired Shawn, he handled all communications. He is available to handle questions, and his paralegal staff is superb. He is patient, professional, and thorough.... He is the advocates "advocate." We deeply appreciate the legal representation provided by Mr. Shawnn B. Briggs! We consider his to be the top Personal Injury attorney in Washington state.

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.

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.
