Incredible

I recently retained Christa on a wrongful termination case. This was a difficult and personally emotional case and many attorneys wouldn’t take the case after the initial consultation. I’d never been involved in a lawsuit and was scared, emotionally fragile and didn’t know what to expect. From the first conversation, Christa was knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate and empathetic. While she was honest and outlined the challenges and uphill battle we faced, she reassured me that she was willing to fight for me and get the justice I deserved. She spent the time to outline all of my options every step of the way and gave recommendations without pressuring me one way or the other. Her cadence in updating me on the case was perfect and she did all the heavy lifting with respect to investigative work giving me the peace of mind to go on with my life without having to worry/wonder about how the case was proceeding. When we were presented with a settlement agreement which was more than I had hoped for, she gave me the option to settle and offered to continue to fight and potentially take the case to trial to get me an even larger settlement. Given the challenges of the case, I decided to settle but was so honored to have Christa on my side willing to continue to work on my behalf. 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.

Trial Win

I never thought I would be involved in a lawsuit-much less for 6 years!! But I do feel qualified in the time I spent with Christa to call myself an expert regarding what it was like to work with her. My case was against a Police Department, and went to trial. Christa held my hand through it all-she was ALWAYS there to pick me up, dust me off and talk me UP. She helped make me strong. She was always a phone call or email away, explaining everything thoroughly. She worked tirelessly-always with my best interest at heart. And what a huge heart it is. She is very detail oriented and grasped the case better than I even thought was possible! I thought this case would never end, but now that it has-I will miss working with her! Thank you for winning WITH me. Thank you for being so very different, so authentically you!!

One of a Kind

I wholeheartedly recommend Christa to anyone seeking legal assistance with an employment matter. When I needed representation, I spoke to several attorneys who hastily discouraged me from pursuing my claim. My experience with Christa was completely different – she listened to my concerns and quickly created a plan for the case. I found her to be exceptionally responsive and professional, and I was so impressed by her understanding of employment law. I cannot thank her enough for the excellent outcome she achieved, and for the peace of mind she provided me throughout a challenging life transition.

Very Positive Experience

I contacted Christa one year ago after having my employment terminated when I asked for a leave of absence. She reviewed the evidence and did not feel a lawsuit was appropriate but referred me to another attorney for a second opinion. I contacted her again after an offer of informal mediation from the DFEH and she coached me on how to respond. She did a lot of work for me for no money. When the employer offered formal mediation through DFEH, 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.

Calming

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.

Christa is unlike most lawyers I’d worked with. She was supportive, compassionate and a good listener. I wasn’t pressured or pushed in any direction away from what was best for me and my family which was reinforced through her work and communication. Greatly appreciate her efforts on my behalf during a tough time. Thanks again Christa.

Legendary Attorney

…Prior to contacting her for a consultation, I researched the YELP reviews and Christa is truly worthy of every 5 star review… for her, ”Excellence”, with potential/clients crying out for help for injustices with employees… When I called and was transferred to Christa, and she answered calmly identifying herself, I was in tears. The calmness in her voice without asking for a consultation fee let me know Christa, was genuine in fighting the legally way for justices with employees that were or at work being discriminated…She was Extremely PROFESSIONAL, HUMBLE PERSONALITY with ABUNDANCE of EMPATHY…Thank You for the consultation. The powerful WORDS of WISDOM…
