Attorney endorsements
(17)Shawn Reid, Family Attorney on Mar 17, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Boston on two separate cases. The thing that sets him apart is the fact that he is not afraid to proceed to trial or hearing. Mr. Boston will attempt to settle a matter but if the offer is not exactly to his client's liking, Mr. Boston will proceed to trial. This is a valuable trait for an attorney to have as all too often I have been able to get attorneys to bend when they should not have done so easily.
