Very Knowledgeable and Professional

Mr. Bourtin was very diligent and efficient in helping me to achieve the desired outcome of my case. He kept in constant contact with any case updates and was always more than willing to address any and all of my questions for further clarification. Mr. Bourtin is highly knowledgeable and very skil...led in his area of practice. I am extremely satisfied with my overall experience. This was an extremely stressful time for me, and he helped to assure me that I was taking all of the correct steps in order to have a desirable outcome.

Diligent, Focused and Calm

Lawsuits can be upsetting, for obvious reasons. Stephen and his partner, Patrick did a first rate job of not only securing a 100% successful outcome for my matter, but [critically] walking me through the process at every step: what to expect, how to handle it, when I needed to do some homework and wh...en it was better to sit back and wait for the process to play itself out via our legal system. Even though my case was probably not the largest matter that Stephen has ever handled, in terms of the sums at stake, I still felt that I was receiving his full care and attention as a client. It's also clear to me from this process that it's not a always a given that legal teams have their clients best interests at heart. With Stephen I never had any doubt that he was looking out for me and my interests, above all else. This is clearly a matter of culture and pride at the Boyd Law Group and it's why I'd recommend them to anybody asked.

Smart, Aggressive, Understanding

When my employer conducted a "reorganization" and suddenly fired a half dozen top management people including me, I needed an experienced attorney to quickly review my situation with respect to labor laws which may have been violated and compensation which was due to me but the employer was refusing ...to pay. Steve got on the case immediately, identified my rights, and quickly put the employer on the defensive. His efforts resulted in the desired outcome. Most important, Steve was a pleasure to work with, and made a difficult situation much easier on me.

Smart, Savvy, Experienced, Excellent Lawyer

Stephen Bourtin conducted a case for me against my previous employer. He consistently provided intelligent and sound counsel as he guided me through a long and difficult process. The end result was far better than I expected (we won $$!) . He did FANTASTIC work for me and I can't recommend him highly... enough.

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.
