Law Firm of Patricia A. Boyes

Incredibly rude terrible lawyers.

Failed to adequately assist us in the case we hired her for, including falling to conduct adequate discovery mere days before our scheduled mediation. When called on it, she was aggressive and failed to take accountability even after acknowledging to my brother and I she was busy handling trial matters. Awful bedside manners and rude. We fired Patricia Boyse and had to immediately hire a new attorney, incurring substantial legal fees for the new attorney to come up to speed before the scheduled mediation. Horrible experience.

Patricia Boyes is incredibly unprofessional and rude. I called her asking for help and consultation as a tenant and she literally told me to "stop talking" as I was explaining my situation to her and that "no one will believe a male victim". She was really condescending and patronizing, and did not actually answer any of the questions I came to her for. Do not call and waste your money. Fortunately I did not have to pay out of pocket for this but if I did you best believe I would be calling to charge back. I wish I could get the 10 minutes of my life back. Some quotes from our conversation: - "Well you can read the code just as I can and it says *proceeds to read code verbatim even though I asked her to interpret and explain legal jargon* " - "I can't predict the future; there's no crystal ball" (did not ask her to "predict the future"; only asked her to interpret whether the civil code is a strong enough protection for me to pursue my landlord for damages, etc. - "Well I do believe you but... you know have you tried talking to him (the landlord)?" --- Implying I haven't already gone through that effort. SMH, truly a disappointment. A true "Karen" lawyer if you will. If I could give negative stars I would. Stay away!

They were very quick with forwarding my call to another attorney. Did not take proper time to listen to my issue.
