Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've had the pleasure of knowing John as a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney. There are some traits that can make you effective in both and John has these traits. John has inside knowledge of how the court system works, who to speak with, what to worry about and what to ignore, and most importantly how to get results for his clients. He always has the time to listen and explain to his clients what their options are and what his opinion is of the case. For these reasons, I highly endorse this lawyer."

"John Boyd is a zealous and conscientious lawyer. I've seen John take command of cases in open court and it's impressive. He has practiced in different multiple states; that experience shows though in his ability to tolerate divisive, adverse, and challenging circumstances. I fully endorse this lawyer."

"John supervised me as an intern at the Office of the DeKalb County Solicitor-General and later on became my co-worker there. John is a smart and caring lawyer. He is also not afraid to think outside the box. John is always a strong and respectful advocate. I endorse John and, if I was in need of counsel, would hire him without a doubt."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I had the privilege of working with John Boyd when he began his career as a prosecutor. I worked alongside him for 3 years. John is smart, fair and extremely competent. I have no doubt he will provide fine representation to those accused of criminal offenses and ensure they are treated fairly and provided with the best defense under the law. If I was in need of counsel, I would hire John to represent me!"

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 19

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known John Boyd for several years and had the opportunity to work with John as opposing counsel on several criminal cases while he was still a prosecutor in DeKalb County, Georgia. John was a worthy opponent who was always well prepared, knowledgeable and honest about the facts of his case and the applicable law, and possesses excellent courtroom skills. Despite being on opposite sides, John always exercised appropriate discretion and conducted himself as a consummate professional. Although we might disagree about the case , he was never disagreeable, a trait that is sorely lacking in our profession today. While I was sad to see him leave Atlanta, the Georgia bar's loss is Washington's gain. John Boyd is not only an excellent attorney but also a fine and honorable man who I endorse wholeheartedly!"

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.
