I was born and raised in Jacksonville and I am very happy to be practicing law and raising my children where I grew up. I graduated from Stanton College Preparatory High School in 1994 and went on to graduate from the University of Florida in 1997 with a public relations degree and then from the University of Florida College of Law in 2000. I started my law career in corporate litigation in Orlando until I returned to Jacksonville in 2003 to start my family. I loved serving the citizens of Jacksonville through my work at DCF, the Attorney General's Office and the Regional Counsel's Office, but having my own practice has definitely been the most rewarding. I enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them navigate through some of the toughest times of their lives.

Reassuring and thoroughly prepared
I recently retained Summer to provide legal representation for a child support hearing. Without her help I would've been a basket case as she helped me understand my options, made recommendations on how to handle the situation at hand and kept me advised of next steps. Summer followed-up with me via ...

The most amazing attorney!
Summer Boyd was the 2nd attorney we hired to represent us in our efforts to adopt our two very young grandchildren after the loss of their parents.

Best attorney hands down!!
Summer is absolutely amazing in and out of the courtroom! No matter how much my ex lies in court the truth always comes out. You can’t lie about probation and get away with it. I’ve had Summer 3 years and my ex has been through 6 and all her previous counselors drop her in the end. Summer has stood b...
