Best Around

Dean went the extra mile for us. I talked to his team all the time and they always kept me informed. He got us more for our wreck than I would have ever thought possible. He really is the strong arm

Very Helpful During A Difficult Time

Mr Boyd and his staff we're very attentive and helpful with my case. They made sure that I was kept in the loop every step of the way. They made this scary situation for my family as painless as I could imagine. I would recommend Mr Boyd to anybody and have told all of my family and friends to hire h...im if they get in an accident.

Excellent customer service and better results

Dean and his office staff were wonderful to work with. He was very caring and concerned about all the specifics of our case, and he met with us personally on many occasions. Additionally, his office staff called at regular intervals to check on us and also to give us progress on our case. The bigge...st benefit to working with Dean was the AMAZING award he was able to get for our family. We never imagined that anything good could come from an accident, but Dean made it possible. He did the work and kept us updated; and in the end, we benefited tremendously.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
