Valuable counselors for a chief executive

Patrick and his team worked with me as a CEO several times, and always provided me with great guidance and support. In particular, the way they have drafted my employment contract, turned out to be very helpful, and gave me a very strong protection. I continue to work with Patrick and his team for al...l my employment and labor contractual needs, and I do recommend them to any CEO or top executive looking for a highly professional legal service, support, and protection.

Recommendation of Patrick Boyd

I recommend Mr. Boyd without reservation and with great appreciation and respect. This is not something I say lightly. Mr. Boyd provided superb legal advice and intervention. We found ourselves in an impossible situation with an educational institution, in this instance a problem in securing acc...ommodations for a disabled student. Without Mr. Boyd's help, guidance, and most of all action we would never have be able to resolve our problem; with his help we did and were reimbursed for what we had paid the institution as well as Mr. Boyd's fees. Mr. Boyd was recommended enthusiastically by an another attorney with whom we have worked for years, and we very soon were able to feel the same enthusiasm. Mr. Boyd very quickly understood our predicament and more importantly understood how to resolve it. He did so with great finesse and a well worked out strategy, both indispensable when challenging an institution of almost unlimited resources. I think that the clearest recommendation I could give him is that when a close friend found himself in serious trouble with his educational institution, I recommended Mr. Boyd to him. With precisely the same combination of finesse, strategy and empathy he resolved my friend's extremely perilous situation.

Highly completent

Patrick Boyd is a thorough and competent professional who always had my best interests in mind. He listened carefully and fully understood my challenges and explained options. He did not hesitate to modify actions based my preferences or tolerance. Patrick kept me well informed throughout our deali...ngs. He is a solid lawyer, expert in his field, with exceptional client relations skills.

Personality and skill

I have known Patrick since law school, and have consulted with him on a number of cases. I have always found him to be a well spoken and thoughtful individual. Occasionally, I have questions regarding employment issues, and Patrick is always willing to share his time with me and advise me on how to... proceed. He knows his area of the law inside and out, keeps up with current information and changes in the law, and shares what he's learned in frequent writings. Even when discussing work, Patrick's caring nature comes across, so I'm sure being a client of his would feel more like a partnership than a business transaction. Whenever anyone comes to me with an employment issue, Patrick is the only person I consider sending them to.

I placed my future in the right attorney

One of the best decisions I ever made was to have the Boyd group represent me. I found myself in an impossible work environment and they guided me on how to position myself to be protected from a boss who made work unbearable. Patrick and Steve gave me advise to endure the situation as well as t...o build my case. Patrick negotiated a settlement that I previously would have thought impossible. I am so thankful for his guidance and professionalism during this very tough time. Without hesitation I would recommend the Boyd Group.

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.
