Great Experience

I hired Patrick and his team to help me negotiate a severance agreement with my former employer. He and his team were knowledgeable, efficient, kept me in loop, and resolved the matter relatively quickly. They were great to work with all around, and I would definitely consult with them for any employ...ment related legal needs in the future.

Highly recommended

Patrick is an excellent attorney. I found him to be experienced, knowledgable and very transparent. From the beginning to the end I felt my case was in trustworthy hands. He always did his best to obtain the best results while keeping me informed about all details and steps related to my case. I ...would highly recommend Patrick to anyone seeking legal representation in employment/labor matters. He is very professional, honest and will keep your best interest and needs at the forefront.

Extremely professional and supportive

Patrick Boyd was my lawyer for an employment case that was based around my maternity leave. He was extremely supportive, very communicative and professional throughout my entire case. I got the outcome I desired and would highly recommend him for any employment and labor issues. 5 stars all around.

Discriminatory Termination Settlement

It’s not everyday that you find yourself in the awkward situation where you have to sue your employer. The Boyd Law Group, PLLC was recommended to me by a friend who had a similar situation in the past. In terms of results The Boyd Law Group, PLLC was able to resolve my situation in a favorable man...ner , returning to me an additional 50% and it only took 3 months to get a complete resolution. I think if I would of given The Boyd Law Group, PLLC more time to resolve the situation my return could of been double. The firm and its associates were always professional and respectful. They gave me regular updates on my case and were very thorough with reviewing and obtaining relevant information. What I like the most was how straight forward Patrick was from the moment I first presented my case and how well he went about respecting my need for privacy and efficiency as a client , as well as my risk tolerance for the whole process. Patrick was a smooth negotiator and knew exactly what moves to make and play to push for an expedited resolution. I hope I never find myself in this type of predicament again but would not hesitate to use or recommend The Boyd Law Group, PLLC. to anyone dealing with an employment legal issue.

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.
