REVIEW

I hired David to take care of my personal injury case. I was hit by a drunk driver while I was on my motorcycle. I found David through steel horse law. My first impressions were of utter disgust. When I walked into his office. I noticed that he had hired what appeared to be ex strippers as his secre...tary. I greated the secretary and took a seat in his office. About fourty five minutes later I was taken back to his office. After sitting down and talking with him for five minutes about my case. I heard more F-bombs from him than heard in my entire life. I asked him if there was a fee for my consultation and he said no. We went on with our conversation about my wreck. He proceed to tell me that he was not interested in my case because he didn't know how much the other guys insurance was worth.

Attorney David Boyd here. This review is absolutely outlandish and even though it is old, it just came to my attention and it deserves a response. Examine first of all, the anonymous author. He claims to be a "biker", but he is not genuine biker. He claims that he encountered more vulgarity from me within 5 minutes than he had encountered during his entire life. He then ridicules and degrades my staff by comparing their appearance to that of a stripper. The bikers i know do not behave in such a manner. I am a biker, and have been one long before I began practicing law. The bikers I know are genuine, hard working individuals, who respect one another and themselves. They stand up for what's right even if it is not popular, regardless of their race, gender, or religion. They do not go around posting anonymous reviews while degrading others. The idea that this review was written by a genuine biker is offensive. Now examine the basic premise of the post, that I rejected his case and refused to go after a drunk driver who hit him while he was on his bike. One thing I consistently fight hard to overcome is the prejudice that bikers are operating their bikes while drunk, high on drugs, or recklessly. I take great pride in aggressively handling motorcycle wreck cases for bikers, and i combat these prejudices with every case. When a biker is hit by a drunk driver, I go after both the driver of the vehicle and the bar where the driver became intoxicated. The reason? To maximize the money for the biker - pure and simple. I do not know who wrote this anonymous review, but I know it was not a genuine biker. The bottom line is that you will not find a more aggressive attorney to handle a motorcycle wreck. Period. If you have been injured while on your bike I invite you to contact me for a consultation; (865) 246-1800. See for yourself the difference an aggressive lawyer will make on your case.
