100% Recommend!

Summer was the only attorney who was finally able to get us to the finish line after years of exhausting custody battles, disappointments and wasted money. I had hoped for full custody at best—but thanks to Summer’s exceptional expertise, and understanding of family court, we were able to achieve a ...successful step-parent adoption!! My child is now safe and secure and I could not be more thankful. I would recommend her a hundred times over. If you're looking for someone who will fight for your family and deliver real results, don't waste your time with anyone other than Summer!

Best Lawyer Ever

Throughout my custody battle, I had the opportunity to work with several lawyers, but none provided the level of care and attention that Summer did. She consistently made herself available to address my questions, concerns, and provide insightful feedback whenever I needed it. Her dedication to my ca...se was evident in every interaction, and I never felt like I was just another client. In addition to her professional expertise, Summer is an incredibly kind and selfless individual, qualities that made working with her a truly positive experience during a challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a family lawyer who is not only highly skilled but genuinely committed to supporting her clients.

Best I’ve Seen

I HIGHLY recommend Summer as a family lawyer. She was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout my divorce. She made what could have been a difficult process so much easier. Summer’s guidance and professionalism gave me confidence at every step. Her compassion and expertise truly... set her apart, and I am grateful to have had her by my side. God willing I won’t have to, but if I ever have the need I’m coming straight back to her.

Great job- Twice

I have hired Summer Boyd to represent me in 2 divorces (7 years apart), and she has done a fantastic job in both cases. She has been very helpful in giving me great advice and helping to ensure that I get the best outcome. I am grateful for her reasonable flat fee pricing. I have recommended Summer ...to a friend and would do it again. She is a terrific lawyer who is both kind and smart. Nothing but respect and kudos for Summer and her staff—especially Mary. Thank you for the opportunity to rate her work.

Sincere and Honest

Summer represented me in a divorce. She was available by email all the time. She was very honest as to what was going to happen and really cared about what was going on in my case. She is aggressive when she needed to be, she always had my best interest at heart.
