“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the help and support you have given me. I’ve had a great and lucky life. Getting T-boned by that truck running the red light turned it upside-down. A few inches and I’d probably be dead. I don’t mean to be dramatic, but for me it was huge. You were right there when I called your office – calm, clear, sharp and ready to get the ball rolling. This was exactly what I needed in my scared, vulnerable and clueless state. You and your staff worked so hard to get me what I needed, so that I could focus on healing. You took a heavy weight of worry off my shoulders, and I put full confidence in you. That confidence was rewarded!
-Amy Hirakis, Camden, Maine
Then, two years after the accident, this July, when I received a hospital bill for my four week stay, I was stunned and frightened. I was leaving in less than two weeks to take care of my elderly parents. It was an enormous bill and I was overwhelmed, to say the least. I contacted you and you were right there to help me. The bill was settled in a couple of days, to my surprise and relief. I am so grateful that you resolved this so quickly and I was able to leave for my parent’s with a clean slate.
You stuck by me for the whole ride and I couldn’t be more grateful. It was a lucky day that I found you. I sing your praises every chance I get. Words can’t convey the enormity of my gratitude!”
“You and your team have made legal follow-up to this unfortunate incident a relatively easy process. Although the settlement will never replace the quality time lost nor make up for the pain and discomfort of the accident, Phyllis and I are grateful for the way it was handled. You were very helpful in originally explaining the process to be used and our agreement was standard for the industry. Over the course of 18 months, we had little to do but forward letters and phone calls to your office. These were acted upon and correspondence was forwarded but the process was in intrusive. Phyllis could concentrate on getting well, knowing that the follow-up was in your hands. In the final analysis, the negotiation with the two insurance companies went as well as, or, perhaps better than expected and the out of pocket expenses were less than originally anticipated. Your staff was very responsive to our requests for information and updates and the final disbursements were handled easily and efficiently.
-M. Farland, Rockport, ME.
Since this is my only and hopefully last experience of this type, I have little to compare it to. However, I remain pleasantly surprised and thankful that all worked out as it did. By all accounts, you and your staff did an excellent and very professional job at representing our interests and getting us the most that could be expected under the circumstances. Thank you again for all that you did, and please extend our thanks to your office staff. You all made a difficult situation just that much more tolerable and protected us from the day-to-day worries of follow-up, knowing you were on the case.”
“We explained our situation, that Becky had been severely injured in an auto accident that ultimately resulted in her left leg being amputated above the knee. Becky had been riding on her motor scooter, when the driver of an automobile coming in the opposite direction made a left turn right into Becky. It was an accident. As is way too often the case, the other driver’s mind was attuned to another vehicle and just did not see Becky on her motor scooter.

This sudden, tragic disruption to our normal lives soon began to create serious worries and concerns about how we would deal with the next phase of this whole situation. We had a lot of very expensive bills piling up. We had a police report, we had insurance company information, we had notified the insurance companies, but how does all of this get worked out such that all of those bills get paid and we don’t wind up possibly bankrupted? We felt that we definitely needed help and guidance. Thank goodness, a trusted source, an individual with experience in the legal field, advised us that the best personal-injury lawyer in Maine was Donald Briggs. Acting on that advice, we called and arranged for a consultation. A few days later he made the two hour trip to our home to meet with us.
Fortunately, however, the amount of uninsured/underinsured coverage in our own insurance policy was much higher than the other party’s liability, and Mr. Briggs was able to co-ordinate a combination of the two and provide a more substantial benefit. Finally, in the end, and in less than a time, Mr. Briggs and his firm of Briggs & Wholey, LLC, were able to bring everything to a very agreeable settlement. We were pleased and relieved that by the terms of the settlement, Mr. Briggs had successfully managed to negotiate substantially reduced charges with the hospital and other claimants and had arranged final payment of all accident related expenses.
So, “Thank You” to all of the staff at Briggs 8c Wholey, LLC, and particularly, “Thank You” Mr. Donald Briggs. You can be sure that we will definitely recommend you to anyone who may need your services in the future.”
“I would like to thank you for all your hard work, support and understanding in handling my auto accident case. I was a difficult case and you went above and beyond to make sure that my wife and I understood everything that was going on and to allow us the results that we could live with and move on. So on behalf of all of my family I thank you all for your superior effort and kindness. May God bless you and allow you all to continue to help others in their unforeseen tragedies.”

“Dear Don and Alison:
Most Sincerely – Ms. Pease
Your recent communication caused reflection on my part of what turned out to be not only a very prudent decision to engage Briggs & Wholey as legal advisers, but also as an emotional support group throughout the many stressful weeks my husband was hospitalized. During the months subsequent to his death to the final resolution with the insurance company and the various government agencies involved your considered opinions and professionalism resulted in a positive outcome for all parties.
I also wish to note the thoughtfulness of your entire staff as I maneuvered my way through this minefield. Should I ever be asked for a reference for help with regard to the kind of assistance I required and experienced at Briggs & Wholey, you may be assured your firm will be first and last.

“I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your kindness to me when I first came to your office many years ago. You showed such compassion for me, and for the first time I felt as though perhaps someone could actually help me get some closure. You did just that. Don Briggs was also fantastic, and I thank you for bringing him in on the matter. I felt that my wishes were actually important, and that was a change from previous lawyer experiences I had had!”
