Compassionate and caring

Summer Boyd represented during a nasty divorce. I was clearly getting shafted but once I hired Ms. Boyd she was a bull dog and represented me to her fullest. I won custody and the entitled alimony that was owed! She was compassionate and well worth every dime! She is kind, funny, and very compassiona...te about her clients. My experience with her was very comforting. I highly recommend her!

Divorce representation

Summer represented me during my divorce. I was very satisfied overall. I have recommended her services to others. I believe this speaks volumes.

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.

Fantastic Attorney

After hiring another attorney and spending 2k I was not getting any where with my divorce and had to let them go. I was referred to Summer from a coworker who had previously hired her, I decided to hired Summer for my divorce case and she was absolutely amazing. Every question I had she was there. Sh...e was very dedicated and devoted to her work. I highly recommend Summer. Best family attorney hands down!

I could write a book on how Summer has helped our family

The title is so true! I literally could write a book on the journey we have been on with Summer. If you have ever fostered then you probably know the system can get nasty at times. Summer has been my voice of reasoning when I thought I was going to loose my mind. She told us at the beginning she woul...d fight with us until we couldn’t fight anymore and she stands behind what she says! She is now representing us again on a much smoother journey thank God!!! Throughout our process I have recommended her to several friends and would continue to do so. I/we are so thankful to have met her and that we have her on our side!
