I whole heartedly 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.

Huge, “Shout Out”, to Attorney Christa Riggins! Prior to contacting her for a consultation, I researched the YELP reviews and Christa is truly worthy of every 5 star review, (Smile). Potential Clients~Sit back, relax, and read this review. Because, this is some good, “Tea”, and you’ll definitely want to hire Christa! (100 % Real Talk) Keeping it real, she deserves, “One Billion”, star’s for her, ”Excellence”, with potential/clients crying out for help for injustices with employees being wrongfully accused at work due to lack of integrity filtered with honesty from administration for employees speaking up when seeing wrongdoings. 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, intimidated, and lets not forget defamation of character being destroyed from false accusations, (That has be proven with substantial documentation) to show an employee innocence. Yet, the person, (Oops HR) doing the investigation is bias, discriminatory and becomes totally frustrated because, “God”, gave us a voice and if we’re a child of God the only one we should fear is him. Christa, I know is one of God’s angel’s and given the assignment to ensure when someone is being mistreated to the extent of wrongful termination. Show up, Show out in court with her legal skills and to shut down all shenanigan's! (Smile) Going back to my consultation, (Back across the street~Lol’s), Christa, was an ACTIVE listener without any disruption or saying times up, and/or making subliminal comments to have you feel it is time to close the consultation, (Applause) . She was Extremely PROFESSIONAL, HUMBLE PERSONALITY with ABUNDANCE of EMPATHY. Christa, should have been named, “SERENITY.” That is 100% truth!!! ( Smile) The blessing, she restored the resilient within and reminded, me, “I am a Warrior”, fighting with my Voice to win and end the war with discrimination, favoritism, harassment, intimidation, and disparaging comments ~ Defamation to destroy one’s character for speaking up… ChristA, you are at the Top of the Melting Pot as a, “WARRIOR”, with fighting with your POWERFUL VOICE to ensure justice is prevailed for employees speaking up when unfairly or wrongfully terminated. Thank You for the consultation. The powerful WORDS of WISDOM and keeping it real with going through chain of command. (In my reality, when you go through the chain of command with documentation to prove injustices and NO ONE has integrity with the obvious truth, administration Guilty Pleasures will always come to pass with GOD blessing us with , “Legendary Lawyer’s”, like Christa!! Thank You for your Kind, Real and comforting words. I will definitely lock your number in my cellphone. So, if and when I need a, “Legendary Lawyer!” (Lol’s~Serious too) Christa, YOU need to stand up, take a bow and get that ,”APPLAUSE”, you are SO DESERVING of!!! FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!! Potential Client, (Lol’s)

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.

I contacted Christa regarding a wrongful dismissal from an employer and she was absolutely wonderful. She explained things in ways I could understand, was incredibly supportive through the whole process and I felt that she honestly did her best for me and my case. I also appreciated the expertise she demonstrated. I was extremely happy with the overall process of the case as well as the outcome, all thanks to Christa!

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.

Christa is a great attorney. She took the time to listen to may case and was straight forward and clear in her advice on how I should proceed and what to expect. She took on my case even when other attorneys wouldn't. She fought hard for me to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I would highly recommend Christa to represent you.

What I liked the most about her is that she is very professional, understanding, and listened to me. Every time I had a question she always answer me in a proper time. Also she is very reliable and I always feel that she really cared about my case. My family and I will always be thankful with Christa.

Christa was very helpful and informative throughout the entire process. No constant communication (which worked for me) I only had to tell her things once and she understood and executed what needed to be done on her end expeditiously. She will diligent, informative, thorough and and honestly it was a pleasure to have her work my case. I was pleased with the outcome, especially considering how the process was so SMOOTH.

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 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.

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.

I truly was blessed to have Christa represent me. I was refered to her from a friend and so glad I had an amazing person fight for my case and really believe in me. She made the whole legal process more comfortable and was very thorough on explaining everything. I refer her 100% to any family or friend. Thanks Christa!

Christa was a pleasure to work worth. She was very understanding of my situation and confident in her practice . She made sure I understood everything and her communication throughout the case was great! I definitely recommend her!
