About Us
Be particular about the law firm you select to pursue your legal rights. The Higgins Firm, has earned the reputation of a law firm dedicated to seeking justice by representing their clients with relentless determination, no matter how complex the case or how high the stakes.
The Higgins Firm was created when the principal partners merged to create a more powerful and comprehensive firm. Prior to merging, each partner had risen to be considered a leader in each of their fields. As such, the firm is divided into separate practice groups, each of which is controlled by a senior partner, who posses both superior experience and knowledge in their field. This allows the teams to focus on the work they know best. The legal groups include former insurance defense attorneys and a former assistant district attorney.
