Ethical, Professional, Client Focused Lawyers
I first met Mr. Brenna and Mr. Boyce as an intern in their office. It was my first experience in a legal office, and I didn’t know what to expect, especially since injury attorneys are stereotyped as unethical or ambulance chasers. However, my experience at Brenna Boyce quickly shattered this stereot...

Disappointed
Nearly 5 years after my cycling accident, the case against NYS is finally settled and closed. Opting for an arbitration settlement vs a trail was both frustrating and disappointing. While very impressed with the firm’s paralegal who clearly knows her stuff, (hence the reason for the 2 stars) my exper...
"I strongly endorse Sheldon Boyce. He is a highly skilled personal injury attorney. He is dedicated to his clients and personally handles each case."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is not only an exellent attorney but, as is critical to me, also a really good person. When another attoney referred Sheldon to me on a personal [family] matter, we had never met. Nevertheless, Sheldon put aside his work, answered my questions and then commenced working on my case. Despite the settlement of my case having involved a large reward for my client, and my consistent efforts to fully pay Sheldon for his work, he would not accept a penny. Contrary to my thoughts on the settlement amount, Sheldon said the reward, of which neither he nor I had any involvement in obtaining, was not so big considering the severity of the injuries and my client's young age. I had never before experienced such a level of "professional courtesy," while my ciient's life was made much better by Sheldon's professional knowledge and personal integrity. I have since referred many cases outside my area of expertise to Sheldon, always my first choice."
"Throughout 34 years of practicing law, I've shared my Firm letterhead with only two attorneys- my father, and Shelly Boyce. I am amazed at his ability, and humbled that he is my partner. His integrity is unparalleled. I am admittedly biased, but I cannot in good conscience pass up this opportunity to state how I truly feel about this man. I proudly endorse this lawyer."
