This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Hands down the worse "attorney" I have the unfortunate displeasure to end up being appointed with simply my bad luck !!!

It should be known that this so called praised and recognized for her wonderful abilities and dedication as a lawyer is anything but! I have called and left multiple messages and haven't received not a single one in return. She is lazy unaccountable has no actually empathy for others and only does t...he bare minimum if that of her duties she swore an oath to uphold as an officer of the judicial courts !!! I'm astonished she's still able to even practice she has not only done nothing to help me ,communicate , benefit me and my case whatsoever she's actually gone as far as causing me legal harm in my case it's beyond disturbing.

Bro you’re not a good lawyer find a new career

Run! Don’t walk! Run! You want a lawyer that does bare minimum hire Laura Boyd. You’ve ever wanted to get ignored for more than 6 months at a time hire Laura Boyd. You want to to be uninformed of your future court dates hire Laura Boyd. Have you ever just felt like having a lawyer miss submitting pap...erwork and delaying your case hire Laura Boyd! If you want to be told by her paralegal “I don’t know anything about your case and I can’t help you because I’m leaving in 2 weeks” hire Laura Boyd! If you ever needed a copy of a document, that she has, and never want to receive it hire Laura Boyd! I don’t know who’s harder to find a deadbeat baby daddy or Laura Boyd!

Took my money and didn’t do the work

I hired her on May 30th, she kept my paperwork for 14 days without filing any to the courts. She refuses to return calls and texts. She said she would refund me my $3,500 retainer but as of today she hasn’t. Definitely getting the State Bar Association involved and encourage any one else whom she ...has defrauded to contact the Bar Association and report her.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Waste of money

Spent $200 was told nothing other than How difficult child custody cases can be with alleged domestic violence. Set up a date and time to go put down the retainer, and also to hear what she got back back from the district attorney. I get a call Monday basically she's blowing me off as a client tel...ls me nothing else, as to what went on. In reference to conversation with the Ada. Gives me nothing as to how she feels towards what this case is going to entail and if I have a chance or not, simply blows me off and keeps my $200 taking money from people who can't afford it. Got our Hope's up we finally had a lawyer, willing to take our case then after a fairy good weekend....we blown off out 200 bucks thank you law offices of Laura Boyd

"I endorse this lawyer. Laura worked as an intern and legal assistant for many years before she became an attonrey. Her knowledge and experience are well beyond her years of practice as an attorney. She is one of the most hard-working, dedicated young lawyers I know. She is extremely good with clients, always keeps them informed on their cases, and always puts their needs first. She knows legal procedure, the courts, and the process better than most lawyers who have been in practice for many years. She thinks "outside the box" and comes up with solutions to difficulties in a case that most others miss. She is a terrific lawyer!"
