This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Don't waste your money!

Very arrogant. Did not listen to what I told him. Didn't file important papers. Said he would take care of it but didn't. He has a reputation for when I sought another lawyer they were aware of his shortcomings. Wished I would have known this before I hired him and wasted my money.

Divorce / Criminal Saint

If Saint ever applied to an attorney it is Mr. Boggs. Exceptional service that is unbelievable unless u r a saint. Better life and better relationship with my kids based on advice n friendship.

Disappointed

This attorney is arrogant and abrasive to his clients ( especially women and children). He will have cases continued repeatedly to increase his billing hours. Several office appointments where we reviewed the same facts repeatedly. Court day was sloppy, and unprepared. Opposing attorney entered sever...al pieces of evidence with no objections that should have been . This made an appeal hearing difficult. He forgot to call my witnesses, and enter some key pieces of evidence we had. This attorney at this point in his career seemed more focused on fraternizing than winning my case.
