A good friend of mine recommended Patrick Boyd and The Boyd Law Group. I had been laid off from a top Asset Manager as part of a RIF and believed I was entitled to more executive severance than was being offered to me. It's a given that a top employment lawyer would know the law and the rules of engagement. But Patrick was more than that. Right away I knew I was in great hands. Patrick is empathetic and inspires confidence. He has more "EQ" than most anyone else I've worked with in 20 years on Wall Street. When dealing with my former employer, he knew when to push and when to pull; when to use honey and when to use vinegar. The result was a much higher settlement than I imagined I could get. It was because of Patrick and his ability to "read the situation and the personalities" that I got what I did. He's always available as we spoke on the cells on Sunday mornings and at nights in addition to during the day. Total Pro. Great team in the office as well. I highly recommend Patrick Boyd.

Patrick was there for me from the beginning, taking me under his wing during a very stressful period. His sound legal judgment kept me grounded and protected my rights. He was always available for consultation, even at night. He works extra hard for his clients. I feel he became more than my lawyer, but a friend, too.

BLG was retained to aid in employment dispute matter. He maintains excellent qualifications, experience and prudence in representing me. He always operated transparently and communications to alleviate my concerns and keep me apprised of progress. As a result, we were able to settle in a effective and efficient manner. I highly recommend The Boyd Law Group. From An Accounting Executive That Retained Us For Severance Agreement Negotiations

When my employer conducted a "reorganization" and suddenly fired a half dozen top management people including me, I needed an experienced attorney to quickly review my situation with respect to labor laws which may have been violated and compensation which was due to me but the employer was refusing to pay. Steve got on the case immediately, identified my rights, and quickly put the employer on the defensive. His efforts resulted in the desired outcome. Most important, Steve was a pleasure to work with, and made a difficult situation much easier on me. From An Executive With Stock And Executive Compensation Issues

I am writing to give my highest possible recommendation for Patrick Boyd and his team at The Boyd Law Group. Originally, Patrick came highly recommended. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Patrick and his team and successfully leveraging their significant experience. Patrick’s exceptional expertise, his thoughtful, deep, logical, and pragmatic approach along with the comprehensive execution of his team are truly unique! On my behalf, Patrick was engaged in non-trivial and lengthy negotiations, which resulted in a successful outcome. He was honest, warm, and very upfront with me at the very beginning and explained to me that It would be a very long and bumpy road, and that I basically have two choices. First was to agree with my current conditions, which wasn't acceptable for my family. The second choice required me to buckle up and be as calm and as emotionless as possible for a long time, which wasn’t always easy. Nevertheless, Patrick succeeded with getting the absolute majority of my needs met and was able to close the whole deal to my complete satisfaction. Overall, my entire work with Patrick and his team exceeded my initial, high expectations, and I still continue working with him to this date. Patrick is a truly unique expert and person, and I whole-heartedly recommend talking to him regarding your employment law related needs.
