I had a dissolution filed through with John Boyd back in 2021-2022, it went super smooth and all went well. Fast forward to 2024, my at the time boyfriend was in the process of getting divorced and needed to hire an attorney to represent him. I of course mentioned John's office to him. As I had such a simple dissolution. John must have been busy, because his case got forwarded to Chase Baker. First appt: Chase seemed like he heard everything we had said, there was even a point where they connected on a previous case involving my now fiancés daughter against ex wife's son (SA) and was the entire reason they were getting a divorce. Chase was the prosecutor for Richland county juvenile services at that time. So he had remembered my fiancés case and was equally as distraught that nothing ever came to. Chase filed the dissolution motion and from there it turned into a full blown divorce, during the divorce proceedings she had gotten involved with attorney Melissa tomello who is known to be a 'shark' in court. Chase basically laid down and let them take him for everything that he has and didn't. Never made her turn in financial statements of how much money she made. She withheld and changed her phone number and kept the kids from him for two months, he paid off her cellphone and she got a brand new one on His phone plan and put it on her own line but he had to pay off again a brand new phone for her, still had the son that wasn't to be around young kids around his young sons, and still never represented that in court. There were times before court where he had no idea where to go, when to report and getting him to answer an email or phone call was like pulling teeth. There was no Communication Unless it was a reply to back to back to back emails on my fiancés end being sent. Then when it came to court, he refused to actually fight and stand up for him as his client. So now almost a year later, someone who's son sexually abused my step daughter and the ex wife/ mother screaming from the roof tops that she's a liar is bringing home $478 in child support a week. And the father of this child, who has full custody of his daughter is barely scraping Penny's together to get by. Talking $300 a week on a 40 hr week. He will say child care costs but childcare is $280 a week for the other children (two sons) that they had together and both kids are not on formula or needing extra doctors appts etc. All this to say, I feel like the cause for recommending John because he was good to me, to getting his colleague who I assumed would be a direct reflection of him...only to find out this is not the case. So long story, John was great chase however is not. read more

John is one of the best lawyers in town. A former Richland County Prosecutor, who knows the entire breadth of the law. He dealt with the bankruptcy of my husband who died in a fire on 18-December-2020 (in the photo of our 25th Wedding Anniversary in 2019... he is the one in the left with the grey hair) at 99 Dawson Avenue...in May of 2014 and did an excellent job. When my husband died, besides losing him, my service dog, and her "little sister"...the household income was suddenly cut in half. With two incomes we were able to cover all our bills. But our joint bills with COVID-19 #Bidenflation, after his death...I could not afford to cover all the bills even living in a HUD Section 8 apartment. Two of my creditors "charged off" the debt, but one CareCredit which had my husband's hearing aids and my Sercice Dog that passed away from Cancer in 2017's surgical bills...they filed a lawsuit against me on 01-June-2022 and I signed my bankruptcy petition on 23-June-2022. They pushed, and thanks to President Biden's Economic Impact Payment, right after my husband died, I had the funds for a bankruptcy. John's costs for legal and filing fees (the total "out the door" cost has not increased a penny since Daniel filed in May 2014, 8 years ago). He had the paperwork done well with no issues (my service dog in training, Chana...in the other photo at my urologist for a cancer follow-up appointment, looking for someone to check us in since we were the first appointment of the day and nobody was at the counter...personally inspected the paperwork and approved as both I signed the paperwork and John signed in June). No hiccups, and all went smoothly, just as Daniel's bankruptcy did in 2014. I could not recommend a Richland County Lawyer any higher than I do with John Austin Boyd, Esquire. If I ever need any legal representation again, John would always be my first choice. Yelp only allows me to rate him "5 Stars", and I think that is way too low of a number. He is that good. read more
