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.

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.

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.

Jon's Experience and Knowledge Impressed me most.

Not only did Jon Boyd answer all of my questions, he took the time to listen. I greatly appreciated Jon's help, advice and kindness. However, overall it was Jon's extensive knowledge of Texas Custody Law that impressed me the most.

Thank you Jon Boyd for your excellent work!

Jon Boyd was the last of four family law attorneys whom I interviewed for divorce and custody representation during my separation. Upon meeting Jon, you are made to feel as though you are not alone in your situation. (Facing a certain nasty divorce with 2 young children, I could not make a mistake o...n whom I selected to represent me and help my children.) Two hours before my first meeting with Jon, I was served Divorce papers at my work. You can imagine the state of mind that I was in when I arrived at his office. What stood out the most to me on my initial consultation is how much time Jon took to just listen to my issues and concerns. He genuinely cared about what I had to say and didn't attempt to over talk me or inject his opinion. At this point in my search, I had already met with three other highly regarded and recommended Divorce/Custody Attorneys. Jon's ability to listen and understand my situation and then offer his advice on how we should proceed were the main reasons I hired Jon as my attorney. That was the best decision I made, for myself and my children. Jon helped develop action plans as well as a strategy for how we could move forward. I rated Jon as excellent on the review for all 4 subjects for good reason. He truly excelled in every facet of my divorce and custody battles. His knowledge and experience became very evident as we continued down the path of temporary orders, deposition, etc. It also was apparent Jon is highly regarded in the Court system. Do not make the mistake of retaining an attorney who does not have years of experience in North Texas. Jon's strong relationship with the different Judges, clerks and real courtroom experience in and knowledge of other opposing attorneys was invaluable to me and my children. Jon earned this "Excellent" rating by going above and beyond what I could have expected from him. When I was at my lowest point in the divorce/custody process, Jon was the one person who kept reminding me WHY we are going through all of this stress-anger-emotional roller coaster. It was so that a good Dad such as I can continue to be involved with his children on a daily basis and provide for their health, safety and well being. We fought long and hard and won the best possible outcome for my children and myself. You may find other attorneys who charge less $ per hour, but let me assure you that Jon is worth every dollar I spent with him and on our case, and his accounting of time spent was precise and accurate. Jon, thank you! for everything that you have done for me and my family. I am glad you are out there continuing to fight for Dads!!!

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.
