Christa saved my job. I would absolutely be unemployed without her expert guidance.
For months she provided incredibly astute feedback, from the very beginning all the way to the end. I'm so incredibly grateful for all the hours she spent helping me craft the best possible arguments, and I always felt that I could count on her whenever I had an urgent question or concern. She never failed to make me a priority.
But also, in addition to her impressive legal expertise and professionalism, she's a wonderful person. She made me feel supported and valued over the course of a very long, overwhelming process that seemed designed to break me down. I'll always remember and appreciate her help.

I reached out to quite a few law firms when I was during a stressful employment situation. Christa was the only attorney who called me directly. Even though my case is not within their scope of practice, she still very patiently and in details gave me clear, practical advice. I still remember her voice and the tone of her words that gave me warmth, strength and clarity. I highly recommend them to anyone needing employment law guidance.

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!!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the support of Christa Riggins during a time when I had to urgently consult and have access to reliable answers. Throughout our several conversations, she has sincerely paid attention to the details of the matters and made sure that I'm supported with all the necessary information. She has also returned all my phone calls and emails shortly with an adequate response and strategy to help me move forward in a timely manner.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel, knowing they will be in the hands of a true professional who really cares about her clients.

Christa is unlike most lawyers Id worked with. She was supportive, compassionate and a good listener. I wasnt pressured or pushed in any direction away from what was best for me and my family which she reinforced through her work and communication.
Greatly appreciate her efforts on my behalf during a tough time. Thanks again Christa.

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 for her guidance.
