Posted by Missy | August 14, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

David is a very good lawyer.

I've known David Boyd for a number of years, in fact, since grade school. I knew he was the lawyer to call when my mom was abused in a local nursing home (I would LOVE to blast their name all over the internet for what they did but my settlement does not allow me to do so but i'm sure many of you wo...uld know the name). David sued the nursing home for my mom and he made them pay. We used to money to move my mother out of those terrible conditions and she could not be happier. I HIGHLY recommend David Boyd if your parents have been abused in a nursing home. He's the best!

Awesome Job- Highly Recommend!

Mr. Boyd representing me in suing the nursing home where my father died because of their neglect. He did an awesome job and made the nursing home pay for the way they treated my dad. I highly recommend him.

DUI Dismissed!!

I hired David Boyd to work on my DUI charge, and I must admit that I was reluctant to pay such a large retainer. However, I am so glad I did because Mr. Boyd got the entire case dismissed! I am very happy with the outcome, and I am very happy with Mr. Boyd's work during the case. When I first met... with him we discussed my case and what I could expect from the legal process. He explained that it would be a long process and he kept me up to date on developments with my case, and once he received the videos of my arrest we reviewed them together. I am very happy with Mr. Boyd's representation and recommend him to everyone I know!!

Review

So I went to David for my divorce case with my ex husband. Mr. Boyd took 35,000 from me and never filed a single motion in court. I stayed with David for three years in good faith that he knew what he was doing and would resolve my case. I had 50/50 custody of my children at the time. Stay away f...rom this guy. He is a personal injury attorney not a divorce attorney.

Attorney David Boyd here. This comment is outlandish and completely untrue. You will not find a lawyer who fights harder, one who is more tenacious, or one who is as focused on victory for their clients. Period. If you are currently involved in a divorce action, I'll be happy to meet with you. Contact me at 865-246-1800.

Dedicated Lawyer for your case

I hired David Boyd for a divorce case involving my husband. My husband was unfaithful to me and even though i saw text messages between him and his girlfriend, he denied it. Mr. Boyd used phone records to expose my husbands affair and lies. After the deposition, my ex begged to settle the case a...nd dropped his demands for full custody of our son. Mr. Boyd and his staff kept me informed the process and i am very happy with the outcome. I would recommend David Boyd to anyone going through a divorce.
