Briggs & Wholey, LLC

Size can be an asset for some businesses, but it is overrated for purposes of choosing a law firm. How many times have injured people like you gone to a large law firm and been overcharged and under-served by someone who does not know you, or care about you and your problems?

Briggs & Wholey, gets to know you, works hard at understanding your injury, legal needs and earning your trust, and attempts to give you what you need when you need it. Our typical client is a severely injured person whose life has been disrupted through no fault of his or her own. Our clients look to us to solve problems beyond their resources or expertise. We understand the emotions involved when facing threatening health and financial issues and attack them with logic and confidence that only years and variety of experience can provide. Our office is located in Rockport, with additional locations throughout the state.
