Best Accident Lawyer I know!

Athena Boyer is an amazing attorney. My family has worked with her for the past three years regarding an automobile accident in Seattle. One year after the accident we moved to Florida, and even though Athena is not familiar with Florida's procedures, she fought hard to make sure all our medical bill...s were paid and that we received compensation for our time and energy lost. For example, one office here in Florida had me going in circles seeing many different providers within their medical group. Athina was watching my accounts from Seattle and noticed I was getting close to exhausting my PIP, she told me to use my regular health insurance. I informed the medical group, they took a copy of my insurance card and continued not to bill me for my co-pays. When I asked why I was not paying my co-pays they told me this is how they handle cases in Florida and everything will be ok. When it came time to settle I had an outrageous unpaid debt they sent to Athena. They wouldn't work with me, their billing department wouldn't return my calls, and my Insurance told me they don't take bills past two months. Now I was stuck with around sixty thousand dollars of debt. Athina told me she would work on it and work in it she did. She was able to reduce the bills from this place and even got some subrogation (payback to insurance companies waived). That is just one example of how hard she works. There are many times she helped me when I was not being heard, like when she fought with my insurance company for reimbursement on my car rental. She was my voice when I had none, she was my support when I needed encouragement with her regular touch bases, she is the best attorney my friends and family have ever come across. Thank you, Athena, if you ever move to Florida, I'd refer you to everyone I know.

Wonderful Attorney

Athena Boyer did a wonderful job in representing my case for my auto accident back in 2014. I had never dealt with an accident before, and she was very helpful in leading me through the process and explaining anything I didn’t know or understand. She’s very detail-oriented, and represented my case co...mprehensively and honestly. I would highly recommend Athena to anyone needing a representative to help them with their auto accident settlement.

Competent, Qualified and CONFIDENT!

"Just wanted to briefly share my personal experience of having been represented by Athena Boyer who is an exceptionally qualified, highly skilled and very experienced personal injury attorney. This happened not once, but twice, in not one, but two "simultaneous" automobile accidents. Allow me to expl...ain; in the first M.V.A. (motor vehicle accident) I was rear-ended in the summer of 2011 and then involved again in a separate second and much more severe accident when I was side swiped violently at freeway speed in winter of 2012. I am happy to relate to anyone searching for and interested in the type of legal representation in which Athena specializes in that after following Athena's expert advice every step of the way and throughout the extensive process that I had received quite an excellent and more than surprisingly pleasing and acceptable end-result with both my cases settlements. I sincerely and genuinely feel that because of Athena's diligent actions, expertise advice and extensive knowledge of the settlement process that in the end I had been compensated more than fairly. I would never have been able to reach an agreement for as fair and just of a settlement without her expert help, advice and counsel. Lastly, I would like to share what I feel is extremely relevant to the purpose of me taking the time to write this review of the Boyer Law Firm so others will know they are definitely quite qualified of helping them in their time of need of capable and competent legal representation. I would like to point out what mattered the most to me, upon reflection, once my case had finally been settled. Athena and her staff always made me feel like I mattered 100% of the time. They were all always very understanding and always made me fell they actually heard me and wanted to hear from me every time I was voicing a concern or issue that had arose. Athena made a point of taking the time to personally answer my emails and calm my sometimes over anxious concerns, and lets be honest, in dealing with motor vehicle accident claims sometimes it can be quite a stressful situation for the plaintiff. I can vividly recall Athena was exceptional at quelling my anxieties as well as being incredibly patient, especially at times when I felt I was being borderline neurotic about the whole experience. She's a very calming individual. I didn't just feel like I had legal representation, I sincerely felt protected! Athena's rock steady self-confidence really was reassuring to me time and time again. In closing, I would highly recommend the Boyer Law Firm to anyone who is in need of a competent, confident, extremely helpful, exceptionally assuring and incredibly insightful attorney to represent them. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share this with you."

Great lawyer

We consulted with Athena trying to figure out if we had a case or not. After listening to us, she advised that we did have a case. We hired her on the spot, and then she went to work. Athena defended our interests with professionalism, clear and timely communications, while demonstrating expertise ...of the legal environment. She made a seemingly difficult process, simple for us.

Care and Results

Our family was involved in an accident that induced high emotions. Athena was calm, kind, understanding and allowed me to take care of the people I loved while she handled all of the legal aspects. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the law was invaluable and we would not have had the positive ...outcome that we did without her!
