James Curtis Boyd

Mr Boyd was referred to me through my lawyer services at work I had payed for it for years but never thought I'd need it. So I had made a couple calls and I was told that Curtis was the lawyer to help resolve my case and I couldn't have made a better decision. Mr Boyd kept me up to date on all progre...ss and changes with my case he also added additional representation that resulted in a positive conclusion that exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend Mr Boyd for any legal representation.

After I was arrested in 2013 for Felony aggravated battery on a police officer, and trespassing I did many hours of research to find an attorney that could fight to prove I was innocent. One lawyer that stood out among all others was Curtis Boyd. There was article after article about him giving to ...the community, students, and even coaching a little league team. I decided to make an appointment at his office and discuss my situation. I found he was extremely compassionate about my issues and understood that he needed to get these charges dropped. He made a great first impression, so I decided to retain him, and it was the best choice I could have ever made; even what I consider a lifesaving decision. He gathered all information he needed from me, sent a plea of not guilty, went to work taking depositions, etc. Slowly over several weeks he built my defense from the ground up, examined witnesses, talking to the “victim”, and even doing a little behind the scenes investigative work on his own. He checked up on me often to see how I was doing, and to reassure me I was going to be okay. Wrench in the gears: I got arrested again. I was arrested for “Failure to obey”. What did I disobey? Manatee zones sign in the intercostal waterway of Fort Pierce. I was taken to jail, booked, and I bailed myself out. So here I am again: never been in any trouble in my life, good job, college education, wife and kids, living the American dream. Somehow I managed to get arrested twice in a one year period. I called Curtis up and let him know as soon as possible. He was very concerned about his due to my prior arrest. He explained that you cannot be out on bond for two separate issues. If you get arrested while on bail your first bond will be revoked.That means you get to sit in jail until your case is over. But, that wasn’t going to happen if Curtis had anything to do with it.He somehow got me into the courtroom with a motion to reinstate bond the next day. He went up to bat for me, and knocked it out of the ballpark. The judge reinstated my bond for the first offense, and I was free to go. Apparently the State Attorney who was taking that case was not happy about the fact I disobeyed the sign and the cop enforcing it. A month after the original arrest date/charge she decided to slap on another charge: Resisting arrest. Yep, so that makes my total charges climb from 3 to 4! Curtis somehow heard her mumble something under her breath when in the courtroom, so he had a gut feeling she was going to do something. He caught the charge the moment it happened. This just throws an even larger wrench into the picture. When you have another charge filed against you, guest what – they issue a arrest warrant. I was going to get arrested – again. That means I would have to bond out – again. That means I would have to ask the judge to reinstate my bond – again. THANK GOD you have someone looking out for you like Curtis. I can’t even remember what he did, but he had the judge’s assistant on the phone the same day. He made up paperwork, filed a motion, sent documents to the Sheriff’s office, and god knows what else. He made every effort possible to stop the process of issuing a warrant for my arrest. And he succeeded. Again. I will continue to be a free man. We ended up requesting a trial for my first offense since we figured - why plea out for something I'm innocent of? I see where Curtis excels.He is a Trial shark for sure. He pays close attention to the witnesses, prosecutors and statements being made. He got several Objections in throughout the trial - all sustained by the judge. Half way through the trial he gets the judge to drop the Trespassing charge. Dropped. The jury won't even get to decide on it! (unheard of usually) And when it's all said and done: NOT GUILTY. A few days later he got all the 2nd arrest charges dropped!!!!! What a feeling to have a fighter like Curtis on your side.
