Client Reviews

What Clients Say

Being wrongfully terminated, processing what occurred, and making the decision to move forward in the legal process and find a lawyer is a very frightening time. You can’t plan for it, you aren’t ready when you are wrongfully terminated. Finding Ms. Riggins and her agreeing to take my case was truly a blessing. She was strong and comforting. She made sure to cover all aspects and questions. There was never a time I felt lost or confused about what was happening. She kept me informed and prepared for the next steps. I honestly can’t thank her enough.

Jen

I recently retained Christa on a wrongful termination case. This was a difficult and personally emotional case…From the first conversation, Christa was knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate and empathetic… I can’t recommend Christa highly enough. While I never want to go through a lawsuit again, Christa made the process painless and easy and there’s no one that I’d rather have at my side representing me through such a tough case. The settlement that she negotiated was more than I had expected and she did it all with the upmost professionalism and compassion.

Eric

I contacted her...after an offer of informal mediation from the DFEH...She did a lot of work for me for no money. She put together all the evidence and accompanied me through the mediation. Her expertise and calm demeanor allowed me to get through the mediation, a very stressful experience, with a successful outcome. Her fees were paid from the settlement money. I did not have to pay anything until the successful completion of the mediation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a discrimination or wrongful termination complaint.
