Excellent!

Dylan and his team are exceptional. You will not be disappointed with the quality of service. I also found his team to be way more reasonable with the cost of their services verse other lawyers I looked at working with. Dylan got me the best possible outcome on my case, I am absolutely thrilled that ...I chose him and his team to work with for my case.

Excellent Value, Fantastic Service

Dylan was personable yet professional. He clearly invested himself in my case and successfully got me an outcome better than I had even hoped for. In my misdemeanor assault case, he managed to win me a full dismissal despite the prosecution's persistency. I always found it easy to contact him, and he... offered fair and sensible counsel. I would recommend him highly.

Amazing Lawyer

I can't thank Dylan and his amazing staff enough for their hard work and dedication to my case. Dylan is on point, highly educated, and well spoken in court. I would recommend Boyd Law to anyone that is in need of an excellent defense and a stand up lawyer. Boyd Law brought my Class A Felony down to... a class D misdemenor before the motion hearing, enough said. Thank you again for all your help.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Dylan to handle my divorce. Not only was he attentive to all my concerns and questions, but he was very confident and knowledgeable reguarding all the variables presented during this seperation. He worked very hard to ensure that I was prepared and was represented well during my divorce proce...edings and I truly feel he had my best interest when giving me legal advice and direction. This divorce was very lengthy and complicated and I'm very pleased with Dylan's performance and would highly recommend his representation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
