excellent attorney

Brett Vigotski referred me. I had spoken to 8 other attorneys. Mr Boyles was by far the most well-versed. He never over-charged, and the work was fast and efficient. He is the gold-standard of attorneys. He was kind and respectful, as I was going through a difficult time after the passing of a r...elative.

Estate Planning

Joe did an excellent job explaining the necessary steps to take and the documents to collect in putting together our estate plan in order to take care of our heirs and avoid probate. He guided us through the process and created all of the final documents, giving us the gift of peace of mind.

Heaven Sent

Joseph Boyles was amazing! He stopped at nothing and kept me informed throughout the entire process of correcting my mother's death certificate. At a terrible and emotional time in my life, Mr. Boyles was an angel sent to me.

Probate review

Joseph W.C. Boyles handled a complicated probate matter for our family member who died intestate. Our relative had assets in the state of Florida as well as out of state. As we, the surviving family members, live outside the state of Florida, we had to do much of it remotely and by emails. The entire... process was handled efficiently and professionally. We appreciate Joseph's firm's services even more given that the process was likely made more difficult due to the corona virus pandemic. We are very pleased and highly recommend his firm.

Feel very fortunate to have worked with Joseph

Joseph and his supporting staff helped my family through very challenging and evolving circumstances when it became evident that a family member in Pensacola urgently required adult guardianship and then eventually passed away, with property in three states and no will in place. We live several hundr...ed miles away and despite the distance, Joseph guided us through the process with compassion and utmost integrity (and also facilitated our securing additional and excellent probate assistance outside of Florida where necessary, and then worked seamlessly with those attorneys on our behalf). I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
