Crisis averted, best lawyer EVER!!

After hiring an attorney that seems like he was working for the other side, we finally hired Jon to take over our case. He made us feel at ease from the beginning. My husband was facing back child support for several thousands of dollars and he had already paid it. Jon took on the case and had the OA...G dismiss the child support case. He also helped my husband get more time with the kids. Originally we were only getting them every other weekend per the OAG order. Now we have them half the time and their mom has them the other half. We cannot thank Jon and his paralegal Tiffany enough for all their hard work. These two have definitely made the Christmas card list. Thanks to you both!!!

Paternity/Mistaken Paternity/Paternity Fraud

To anyone in need of a caring but competitive lawyer I would like to recommend Jon Boyd. We were very happy, not only with the outcome of the case, but also with every step throughout the process. We contacted him with a paternity issue. After 10 years of child support and constant mistreatment by th...e child's mother my husband found out that the presumed child was not indeed his biological son. We immediately contact the office of Boyd for legal assistance. The receptionists were very kind and helpful, they rapidly scheduled an appointment for us and in less than a week we were already meeting directly with the lawyer. Although it is a new law, he was very knowledgeable about it. He is very efficient and charge you only for the amount necessary to achieve the best outcome. Any leftover will be send back to you through the mail. In addition, he is very accessible. You can contact him through email or by phone and you will get a response by the next day.

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.
