First class Attorney that went above and beyond!

Mrs. Boyd was wonderful, honest and and never missed an important detail pertaining to my case. She made me feel comfortable and took time to listen. She made me feel confident and I knew that she would go above and beyond. Mrs. Boyd came highly recommended to me. I am forever grateful to my friends... that recommended her to me. I hope this review helps someone make an important decision to choose Mrs. Boyd to represent them. Best decision I ever made! Thank you Mrs. Boyd for your due diligence and kindness. Forever grateful. -CL

Summer is amazing!!!!

Summer is simply amazing! I know that she has many clients but she always makes me feel like we are her only client. She always responds to my texts very quickly no matter what time of day it is or how ridiculous my question is. She has been incredibly prepared for every hearing and is absolutely ama...zing in the courtroom. I can honestly say that I am so grateful that she answered my panicked call on a Friday evening when my family was in desperate need of someone to stand up for us. It has been a very difficult and strange case and she has been with us every step of the way and I wouldn’t want any other attorney in her place and wouldn’t change a thing about her.

Speaking from PURE EXPERIENCE

I hired summer dec 2019 a custody case is very stressful in most cases. summer was very hard to get in touch with never spoke to a secretary besides getting forwarded to voice mail I felt early on that she was totally disconnected from my case to make a long story short in seven months of using ...her I had one hearing I was granted what I requested for two reasons ..summer was prepared for our hearing but also the respondent didint show up I've since had summer removed as my lawyer she was fully paid up by may .12days after releasing summer as my council an hiring new attorney's I'm proud to say within just 12 days they have gotten me a set date for a final hearing,a mediation date set yo separate supeonas for full financial affidavits from the respondent that was never fully filled out an more then all thst I have a peice of mind no question is a dumb question at a time like this I can get emails answered with in a 24hour period of time an pick up the phone once a week an talk to the attorney when needed with out being told by previous council I'm working...I quote 12 to 15 hour days I'm doing all I can do with your case maybe I'm just that 1percent unhappy unruly guy but after 4k an I quote working with the LAMBORGHINI of attorneys just didint cut it for me I'd rather have the Honda of lawyers work steady an 8 hour days an have the time an patience to take my custody /any custody case serious the two stars are for the work that she did do was spot on but I wasn't at all satisfied an I'm speaking from my experience only

Best choice I ever made

I was having such a difficult time with getting my divorce over with. I had so many questions and I tried so many different attorney's and would only get a receptionist. They all wanted to charge me an arm and a leg just to answer simple questions. I called The Law Offices of Summer Boyd and she actu...ally answered!! We easily spoke for an hour and she was happy to answer all of my questions. It was such a sigh of relief. Summer took my case on, knocked it out, and I couldn't have been happier! She was prompt, courteous, responsive, and so so helpful. I never felt like I was left hanging. I have already referred several people to her and they have all thanked me. Summer is the "best kept secret" in town. I actually still owe her a drink.

You'll be grateful she represents you!

Summer has been a comfort to me in confusing/trying legal issues. She’s completely accessible. Any time I ask, she’s willing to talk to me and go over questions I have. When you “consult” with her, it’s like you’re talking to a friend….you almost forget she’s your lawyer. Her prices are very reas...onable, you don’t feel like she’s out for the money…she really cares. She’s honest about your situation, even if it’s not what you want to hear. She makes navigating your legal issues less challenging and understands the importance of representing the best interest of your child. I highly recommend you hire her...you will be grateful you did!
