Más de 60 años defendiendo a las familias de Alabama. Atención en español.
Injured in an accident? You pay nothing unless we win. Tell us what happened.
When our grandfather, Frank W. Riggs III, opened these doors in the 1960s, he made a promise: every client would be treated like family. Our father kept it for decades. Today, Stephen Jr. and Scott carry it forward — alongside a team of attorneys and bilingual specialists who believe good legal help should be within reach of every family.
What makes us different? We speak your language — literally. Most of our attorneys and staff are fluent in English and Spanish. We have four offices across central and southeast Alabama. And we handle nearly everything a family might face. You don't need five different lawyers. You need one firm that knows you.
Our two core practices — immigration law and personal injury — are backed by a full-service team handling family law, criminal defense and probate, so one firm can guide your family through life's most consequential legal moments.
Green cards, citizenship, family petitions, DACA, asylum, deportation defense and bond hearings — in English and Spanish.

"They provided caring and compassionate service for my mom when my dad was killed in a car accident by a distracted driver. They explained in detail each step in her case before it happened so we would be prepared. They were very patient with my 80-year old mom and my family will be eternally grateful for what they did for her to settle the lawsuit."
