Positive experience

My experience with Mr. Boyd’s law firm has been nothing short of exceptional. Jon’s knowledge of Texas law and years of experience dealing with child custody, make him an invaluable resource for any parent. From our first consultation, through several interactions, and until the complete settlement; ...Jon and his staff provided timely correspondence, and insightful advice on the laws and statutes pertaining to child custody, helping me navigate Texas legal system. This is a testament to Jon’s character, who truly cares about his clients and their future well-being. I would strongly recommend Jon law firm to anyone who needs help in Texas. This is a top-notch firm.

ABSENT LAWYER - DELAYED DOCS' AND EVIDENCE DAMAGING OUR CASE

MR BOYD Failed to file the proper documents to the Court resulting in a hearing that went totally south in favor of the abusive mother et.al. Delayed submitting damaging evidence to the Court. Asked me on multiple occasions. "HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND ON THIS CASE". Thats quite the loaded q...uestion. He filed an intervention (without affidavit mind you) sent a stranger ANOTHER ATTORNEY FROM HIS FIRM WHOM we never HAD ANY CONTACT WITH EVER to the hearing who briefed me on my intervention for 10 minutes immediately before the hearing\- yet he wasn't even aware that my intervention wouldn't be heard because Mr. Boyd failed to submit an affidavit with the petition. Mr. Boyd later after the hearing said to me "oh I knew OPC was going to oppose ". Really?? than how was the attorney you sent to the hearing to represent us under the impression that my intervention would be heard....since, he briefed me on the intervention! It seems reasonable and fair to believe that the attorney (we never met or spoke with) assumed the affidavit was filed with the Court - otherwise why would he be briefing me on the intervention 10 minutes before the hearing? OR MR. BOYD JUST SENT A MAN IN A SUIT TO SHOW UP AT the HEARING!!! MR. BOYD WAS BUSY DOING OTHER THINGS. I am yet to receive Mr. Boyd's legal opinion citing the Texas Law that would even consider an 'intervention'. At this point, I have requested this several times, he does not reply. My conclusion....there is no legal merit.

He is a RockStart

My boyfriend and i hired Jon Boyd with hopes he could help us win my boyfriends son back into our home. When we met with him he was straight up about everything. Didnt give us any false promises, no lies, not salesman like at all. He new exactly how everything would play out from beginning to end of... court. When we finally had court it went JUST THE WAY WE HOPED. He didnt stop fighting and we won. We won a hard case that really had no chance. If you're looking for an attorney he IS THE ONE. i have had a few family attorneys before but none like this! THANK YOU JON

Need someone you can trust? This is your guy!

Working with Jon was a very pleasant experience. Jon is very professional, knowledgeable, and reasonable lawyer to work with. He was easy to reach and communicate with at every step of our case. He was very good at anticipating what the “other side” would have to say and how they would ask questions.... His witness prep helped me be prepared for being on the witness stand and handling questions/answers. We never felt alone throughout the process and had the feeling that Jon was invested in our case and had the same outcome desire that we did. As you can imagine, fighting for custody of your child is a very emotional experience – despite that, we felt Jon was in our corner every step of the way. If you need a family lawyer you can trust that fights for you, give Jon a call. Highly recommend Jon Boyd and his team.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2003

updated on 06/04/2007

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.

Jon’s comment:

“This action resulted during a difficult personal time due to family medical issues about 10 years ago. I was distracted from the practice and did not have adequate staff for a brief period. Since that time I've ensured that the office is always properly staffed and I have more tightly controlled our case levels so that each client always receives prompt and direct service from me. No complaints or disciplinary actions have occurred since.”

Partially Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2002

updated on 03/21/2011

Partially Probated Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice, he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
