Excellent service and on top of his game

Attorney David Boyle handled our son's case with professionalism. He was always one step ahead of the DA. It was a very safe and comforting feeling knowing Mr. Boyle had everything in order. He was honest with us from the jump, not giving us to false hopes or expectations. When all was said and done,... he delivered a better outcome than was thought to be obtained.

The Best in Georgia

I hired David Boyle after I violated probation by getting an MIP. While talking on the phone with Mr. Boyle before even meeting him, he told me my probation sentence I was on at the time was an illegal sentence. He immediately contacted the prosecutor and the sentence was terminated. Afterwards, he b...an to tackle the MIP, which he quickly and effectively took care of. Mr. Boyle is very professional and easy to get into contact with. He answered any questions I had and was committed to get me out of the mess I was in. Definitely would hire again.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE GREATEST ATTORNEY THAT KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS THE LAW, STOP LOOKING.....Mr. Boyle is the best attorney in the world. I will always recommend Mr. Boyle and his law firm (Crawford and Boyle) to anybody that needs or has any legal concerns. In January of this year (2015), my l...ife was turned upside down. I was stalked (my opinion) by the sheriff dept in my home town. I was pulled over (5) times in (6) weeks and was given (4) written warnings and (1) verable warning for not using a blinker to failure to maintain lanes. Three (3) times I was searched as well as my vehicle, as for the law they never found anything and they really no reason to be pulled over in the first place. I guess the law couldn't find anything illegal on me so they sent someone to my house to plant drugs on me. I will admitt that i have been in trouble in past years, but it has been 10+ years and I changed my life around. To make this short; I was arrested and was facing some serious jail time. I was afraid, didn't know who to trust and what to do. I was in shock . I couldn't believe the law was this way and would ever do anyone this way. There isn"t enough crime out there without having to create work for themselves? Anyway, when i got out of jail, I had received liturature from several attornies. The one that stuck out the most was from "Crawford and Boyle" law firm. It was very inforamtive and very helpful. Mr. Boyle took some time and alot of knowledge into putting this pamphlet together. The other lawyers that sent me information about their firm and how they wanted to represent me just sent a letter and by the second sentence was quick to let me know how they wanted to be paid. Mr. Boyle's pamphlet didn't make me feel like all he wanted was money regardless of my outcome. It made me think his practice is more concerned with my legal rights and justice. No more worries. Mr. Boyle took my case. The district attorney, the judge and Mr. Boyle came to an agreement. Everything was thrown out. No charges agains me. I know Mr. Boyle had his work cut out for him. He didn't stop looking and searching until he got all the evidence he needed to prove justice, either for me or the law. He just presented the real truth. This time the law was wrong. So now I get to spend my life with my family and my grandson instead of going to jail for something I wasn't guilty of doing. Mr. Boyle, i'll never be able to thank you enough. I've never ever had an attorney to believe in me, fight for the truth and work as hard for me as you did. From all of my heart, I thank you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU and your firm. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You did more that I could have ever hoped for. I wish the world was full of more people like you. You truly are "THE BEST". Thank you once again.

Great Outcome!

Mr. Boyle was very professional and knowledgeable of situations such as mine. Whenever I had to contact him for whatever reason, he promptly responded. My career depends upon my retaining a commercial driver's license, and I was in jeopardy of losing it or possibly of losing a career of 16 yea...rs. The outcome could not have been any better for me! Both my career and commercial driver's license are no longer in jeopardy! I would highly recommend Mr. Boyle's services.

criminal trespass ticket

A very long story short- I was given a ticket for criminal trespass after fishing on the business owners property. Whom, at the time, his gates were open, and I didn't see any "no trespassing signs" until I went to leave and he had locked his gate on me. Skip to three weeks later, the amount was $750.... My jaw hit the floor. I just felt that was a very steep fine for a very innocent act. I consulted w/ David, he was able to get my fine reduced drastically! he delivered on what he promised me he would deliver, and I didn't even have to go in front of the judge. I was very pleased w/ the outcome and would recommend him to anyone that I know.
