My wife and I have been married since 2000 and we have two children. Beyond spending time with my family and working on my clients' cases, I like to read, write, and ruminate.

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.
I endorse this lawyer.
I endorse this lawyer. A highly skilled and respected lawyer in the community.

Having worked with and against Mr. Boston, I have learned that he is well versed in criminal law. Mr. Boston has worked on both sides: as a prosecutor, and as a defense attorney. This experience has given Mr. Boston a well-rounded knowledge of criminal law and the ability to look at a case from many angles to seek the best result for his clients.
