Hired Law Firm

“Well done Good and Faithful Servant”, Why do I say that? Because as a minister I apprecia that the Boatman Ricci Law firm serves you with a servant’s heart. Mr. Boatman puts his personal relationships and actions where his heart is. He serves you as he serves the Lord. I had a problem with an HOA management firm (and who doesn’t from time to time?) that would not return my calls, emails, etc. After 6 weeks of not getting an answer or return message on a time critical problem, Mr. Boatman had the problem solved within 24-48 hours. I know that we are small potatoes, and a “no body” in the big scheme of things, but that’s not how we were treated. We were treated like family. I have known of the Boatman family for over 20 years from a distance, through his un-publicized Christian charity work. He may be upset for my saying that but if you want an honest, hardworking, moral attorney in your corner that will treat you with respect, then the Boatman Ricci Law Firm is your ticket to success

Working with Stephen Scharer was a wonderful experience. I always felt that he always had my best interest at heart. He was the ultimate professional with a very friendly demeanor. He did everything he said he would do, and in a timely manner. I would use his services again and recommend him to anyone needing legal advice and more.

Hired Attorney Mr. Stephen C. Schahrer Esq.

Our legal issue involved our HOA and ARC. We sought a lawyer with depth of knowledge, common sense, logical perspective about such matters, and willingness to support our objective and goal. Stephen impressed us with all these qualities and more. With his help, we achieved our desired outcome. Now we tell everyone that he and his team are on speed-dial should we face any legal matters in future. We are truly grateful to have found Stephen and his team for the help, guidance, and support they give to us.

Hired Attorney Mr. James Boatman Jr., Esq.

Our small condo community was in serious jeopardy due to a failed construction project. The problems were legally complex, and no viable options at hand. Then we hired Boatma Ricci. Jim Boatman was personally involved throughout and Johnathan Huffman set the bar for excellent legal representation. Under their guidance, the matter was resolved ahead of schedule far exceeding our expectations. Boatman Ricci turned our pending disaster into a total success.We offer our highest recommendation.Hiring Boatman Ricci was the best decision we could have made. If you hire them I am confident your community will share that perspective.

Hired Attorney Mr. Stephen C. Schahrer Esq.

Mr. Schahrer is an outstanding lawyer. He took the time to understand the legal issue facing me and immediately began to represent me effectively with the other party involved. He is tenacious, organized, intelligent, compassionate, easy-to-work-with, and quickly gained my respect. He pursed the other party and completed an excellent resolution for me. He was always available via email and phone and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. You will be blessed to work with Stephen. He was my answer to prayer!

Hired Attorney Mr. Stephen C. Schahrer Esq.

Mr Schahrer was recommended by the Collier County Bar Association! We had a telephone consult within 48 hours of my first call to his office! Mr Schahrer spent about 30 minutes explaining the different strategies for My defense in a small claims case. I am in the New York area and needed some guidance although I have some knowledge of Court procedure due to a lengthy divorce. He looked up my case and gave me 3 options so I could make the proper decision if and when I was served. Mr Schahrer also explained the significance of the service and possible outcomes. If I find it necessary I would definitely retain him. Me Schahrer is knowledgeable, professional and prompt.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
