Experienced, Hard Working, and Accomplished
I have worked with Beth Boggs and her law firm for over 15 years, both as co-counsel and supervising/referring attorney. In my prior capacity as Senior Staff Counsel for a major insurance company, I had referred countless cases to Beth for handling. Beth has delivered outstanding results time and time again. As co-counsel, I have had the pleasure of working directly with Beth on various personal injury and high damage cases to achieve great results for our mutual clients. Beth's grasp of the law and issues, her advanced litigation and trial skills, and her experience in personal injury and insurance law, is unrivaled. Coupled with these exceptional attributes, Beth's tireless work ethic, accessibility, and dedication to her clients are all part of her recipe for success. I highly recommend Beth Boggs.

Top Notch
I have worked with Beth for more than 20 years. She has provided top quality cost effective legal work for the companies that I have worked for. She is always looking for the most efficient way to bring the case to conclusion.

One of the Very Best
Beth Boggs has represented me as an Officer for Fairmount Park racetrack as well as my role as a Franchise Owner of Primrose School. In each case Beth has familiarized herself with the issue at hand, investigated relevant scenarios and presented a logical strategic plan to reach the desired outcome. She’s been successful in every case to date. I find Beth to be among the most engaging, generous and thoughtful person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. Not only is she tireless in her efforts as the Managing Partner of her firm and a recognized leader in her industry but she champions her own charity design to help underprivileged children. The truest evidence of her character is how every child Beth meets loves her.
