Juliet E. Boyd

I had a great experience working with Juliet Boyd and would highly recommend her. She represented me in a case where I was sued by the buyer in a real estate transaction over contract performance and breach of contract. From the beginning, she explained everything clearly and guided me through wh...at initially felt like a very overwhelming and intimidating situation. She is extremely knowledgeable, and her calm, reassuring approach made the entire process feel much more manageable and really helped ease my anxiety. We went to trial—and we won!! She was also able to recover attorney’s fees for me, so what I initially feared would be a very costly situation ended up costing me nothing out of pocket. I’m very grateful for her support from beginning to end and would absolutely work with her again.

Juliet is a fantastic attorney. I hired her to help me deal with a challenging matter involving DCFS and I found her to be an excellent choice. She has true compassion for her clients, but maintains the appropriate distance to allow for objectivity. She demonstrated a keen and clever mind with excell...ent strategies and great follow-through. Her communication is top notch, and her commitment to the case was greatly appreciated. Ultimately, her approach paid off and she won my case for me, with as good a result as could be hoped. I recommend her highly to anyone in need of a legal ally.

My husband and I cannot express how impressed we were with Ms. Boyd since the moment we first contacted her to the moment we knew she won our case for us. For nearly a decade now, my husband’s ex-wife has harassed us in every way she could: personally, professionally, judicially, and monetarily. M...ost egregiously, however, she has habitually attempted to alienate the affections of his eldest children he shares with her from the both of us. Once these outlets had been exhausted, she viscously and intentionally manipulated the system and had us reported to the DCFS for medical neglect and substance misuse. Unfortunately, we were indicated for both. We were shocked! When we first spoke with Ms. Boyd, she calmed our fears. She went over the allegations and findings with us and assured us that we would be able to overturn these indications on appeal. She worked incredibly hard for us, was always available, and reassured us with such a lovely demeanor that we felt she was more like a friend than counsel. Once we finally went to trial, Ms. Boyd was on fire! She did not miss a beat! She got my husband’s ex-wife to perjure herself almost instantly. She ripped the case to bits to the point that the DCFS counsel did not even cross-examine any witness other than my husband, of whom she asked three questions that only strengthened Ms. Boyd’s case! When the trial was over, my husband and I finally felt we had won against his irrational ex-wife who had berated us all these years. Our judge seemed to agree. After the trial, our judge wrote a twenty-seven-page document detailing the case and how Ms. Boyd proved that his ex-wife intentionally created a narrative to have us falsely turned into the DCFS. We give Ms. Boyd our highest recommendation, with no reservation. Should you choose to contact her and seek her counsel, you will do the same!

Thorough and professional. Ms. Boyd was hired to help appeal a DCFS indication that defied common sense. She demonstrated great compassion while providing the tools and preparation necessary for a successful appeal. The regret is that we did not involve her at the time we were first contacted by DCFS.... Our situation involved a common occurrence in any household that we assumed would be routinely unfounded. The belief was that since we did nothing wrong and had nothing to hide, the involvement of an attorney was not required. That belief was flawed as the DCFS investigators were determined to deliver a positive indication regardless of its merit. Having interacted with DCFS initially without Ms. Boyd's counsel, we found ourselves involved in a nightmare scenario that dragged on for months. Once hired, Ms. Boyd worked expeditiously to help us overturn their finding. She provided calm, thorough and knowledgeable guidance throughout the process and our case was determined to be unfounded. I would tell any parent who finds themselves on the receiving end of a DCFS investigation to hire legal representation immediately. In our case, Ms. Boyd proved to be the perfect person for the job.

Juliet’s dedication to our case was unmatched! She never wavered and we always knew our best interests were centered in every one of her actions. The case was tough with a very uncooperative/unreasonable defendant who initially offered settlements on the pennies of what we were out. The unrealistic i...nitial settlements, coupled with the stress and financials of the repairs (not to mention COVID) brought in doubts throughout the process, however Juliet always was there to raise our expectations and increase our confidence. In the end, wow, she surpassed our expectations, and we were able to settle. As a mother, she understood the impact our case was having on us as a family and her compassion kept us calm - focused on the path that she had detailed to achieve the most efficient outcome. Juliet understood my frustrations at times, but never allowed us to get off path and engage in exercises I felt were warranted but would have come at much greater financial/time-consuming impact. All-in-all, we owe everything to Juliet (and Scott Kummer)! They form the perfect team, and we could not be more pleased with the outcome – allowing us the opportunity to move on and finally return to living our lives! Thank you, Juliet!!!
