Shawnna was amazing! We hired her once our severance was approved to complete our adoption. We had a few problems with our state assigned case worker but Shawnna was there very step of the way to ensure that everything was complete for our adoption on the original date we requested. She never hesitated to respond promptly to my questions (of which I may have had quite a few) and was incredibly pleasant and professional throughout. I am so glad we found Shawnna and had her as our attorney through this process. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Shawnna Riggers is a great lawyer and I was very impressed with her services. My case was very complicated and changed dramatically over its year long duration. Shawnna was very helpful and informative in letting me know what my options were and what she felt would be the best decisions. I never felt like Shawnna's advice was based off her own personal financial gain, but rather what was best for my child and me. Shawnna and her office put a lot of time and effort into my case and trial. She was always willing to do anything I suggested or alternative explain why she didn't feel something would bring enough value in comparison to the associated cost or fees. For the most part Shawnna was very proactive in meeting deadlines and she kept me apprised of important dates and timlines. Shawnna even went above and beyond by providing me with her personal cell phone contact when she was going to be away but knew it might be necessary for me to contact her. Shawnna's legal advice was overall very sound. She has a robust family law skill set and understanding, and was always willing to research or discuss options with her professional colleagues when she wasn't as familiar with a situation. She never overpromised and always let me know what I could realistically expect in any situation I was faced with. At times, I did feel like Shawnna and her staff were very reactive as opposed to proactive, especially when my case's deadlines were farther down the road. I would have liked for her to be a little more proactive in coming to me with suggestions of things we could do to counteract or best argue claims from the opposing party. A few times I found we thought of things we could do that would be very helpful, but by that time it was too late. While I appreciated Shawnna's willingness to let me do some of the leg work associated with my case to ensure I was incurring minimal attorney costs, as previously mentioned, there were times I felt like I was the one thinking of solutions or strategies when I would have liked for her to come to me with these suggestions instead. Unfortunately this did at times result in me feeling insecure that we were doing enough or the right things to ensure ta favorable outcome. However, these are very nit picky, limited and isolated feelings I had over the course of a very long, complex and overwhelmingly positive experience. Shawnna helped me successfully navigate the legal system and gave me sound advice when presented with some pretty crazy situations. Shawnna gracefully dealt with the multiple lawyers, changes and even absurd situations presented from the opposing party. In the end, Shawnna was able to secure everything requested to ensure the safety and well being of my child. I would definitely recommend her to others in my situation that need a trustworthy, balanced, friendly and skilled family law attorney.

Shawnna is an awesome lawyer and a great person !!!! She has been there for me and my daughter for over 3 years now. She has had to endure a LOT of craziness from the other side and has handled it with a great deal of professionalism. I have recommended Shawnna to others and do recommend her to anyone struggling with custody issues.

Ms. Riggers is amazing! I have been with her now as a client for over a year. I have a very high stress case with a high stress ex. She is very compassionate and empathetic to what I have been through and currently going through. I never have a problem getting in touch with her or her wonderful office staff. I always get my questions and concerns addressed in a timely fashion. Her turn around time on work is excellent. Ms. Riggers has been extremely knowledgeable, honest, very methodical and on point in every aspect of my case. She is persistent will take a stand with you for what is right. I would recommend Ms. Riggers to anyone in need of family legal assistance.

I hired Shawnna to take on my child custody/visitation/child support case. She is experienced, knowledgeable, does her research, doesn't make false promises or lead you to believe in unrealistic expectations; she is very personable and produced brilliant petitions and responses on my behalf. Shawnna held my hand through every step of the process (winning every step of the process, mind you) and made me feel very comfortable and reassured during a stressful drawn out process. Although we dealt with very difficult opposing party and counsel, Shawnna handled all matters with class and professionalism. She proves you don't have to be a bull(y)dog attorney if having exceptional knowledge of the law is your tactic to get positive results and consistent wins. I would highly recommend Shawnna to anyone needing an attorney for any matter. Shawnna was fully invested in fighting for me and I highly doubt my outcome would have turned out the way it did without her legal advice and diligent work.
