The Greatest

Summer Boyd changed me and my kids lives. I was struggling for months to find a lawyer worth giving a cent to and that’s when I met Summer. From the very beginning she was nothing but dedicated and kind. Even my kids loved her. She was fast, efficient, and very professional the entire time. I cannot ...thank Summer enough for making my divorce as pain free and fair as possible. If you need a lawyer I definitely recommend Summer!

5 Stars - The Best Divorce Lawyer

Summer was referred to me by a family member, and hiring her to handle my divorce case was one of the best decisions I could have made. My previous attorney’s representation was subpar, but Summer took over and immediately ran with my case. The outcome was more successful than I ever expected, and... I am extremely happy with the results. Summer enters the courtroom with confidence, professionalism, and an impressive knowledge of the law. She is a strong advocate who truly fights for her clients. If you need an attorney who is knowledgeable, confident, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome, I highly recommend hiring Summer!

Could not have chosen a better lawyer

I would recommend Summer to anyone who needs a family lawyer. I was at the lowest point of my life and knew that as the father the odds were stacked against me to get custody. However, Summer never judged me or my story, instead she listened and became my biggest advocate. Additionally, she was compl...etely professional and made this process as smooth as possible. I was worried about the impact going to court would have on my two kids, but we were able to reach a settlement and avoid that entirely. I am so happy with the turnout, and thanks to Summer I am able to leave a nasty marriage and still be able to spend time with my children, who are my proudest joys. Very professional, very swift to action, and in general very kind and understanding.

The Best

I was in a deeply abusive marriage and never thought I’d find the strength to leave. I felt trapped and afraid for myself and my children — until I met Summer. From the beginning, she listened with compassion and never judged. She made it her mission to make sure we were safe and supported every step... of the way. Summer worked tirelessly for months, making sure we had security, peace of mind, and a fair settlement. She went above and beyond, not just legally, but emotionally — always checking in, always responsive, and always fighting for what was right. Her pricing was fair, and her dedication was priceless. Thanks to Summer, my kids and I are safe, healing, and finally have hope for a better future. I’ll always be grateful to her.

Best divorce attorney

I hired Summer for my second divorce. Much better than the attorney that I used for my first. Her prices are very fair. Would hire again.
