Joseph G Boyd & Co Court Lawyers Ltd

I don’t recommend this firm to anyone
Nearly every interaction with JB, in my genuine experience left me feeling anxious, nervous, distressed, immensely afraid to express any concerns or issues, I definitely felt I could not trust him at all whatsoever, and I felt deeply deeply humiliated and by the end I felt utterly hopeless with the direction things were going.
I felt myself feeling belittled, humiliated and dehumanised.
On the day of trial he was completely unprepared and had no plan for the witness turning up so we had no choice to adjourn.

He was stern and frustrated often, and had the effect of making me feel afraid, intimidate, frighten or scare me into some form of exerting power or authority over me.

I found myself fawning as a trauma response from previous abusive relationships, having to people please and be excessively polite and complimentary, making me feel submissive, for fear of any negativity from JB, I felt my polite efforts were completely undervalued.

By the end due to my experience at this firm I suffered a mental breakdown and had to see the GP for an emergency appointment.

I finally left JB when I had the chance and it was the best decision I ever made.

I felt so free and relieved when I left him.

I deeply wish I never met JB.

I would definitely never recommend JB to anyone.

I deeply regret choosing this firm and thank I managed to leave when I could.

After finally finding the courage to leave JB,

My new lawyers treated me with the respect I deserve, they were sorry to hear of my experience of JB and concerned by his conduct, thanks to leaving JB I received an excellent result from a minor case, I was always innocent of and was to be argued as never in the public interest to begin with as many organisations and professionals supporting me in wanting my case dropped - which it was in the end.

I very much doubt the authenticity of the other feedback, given my negative experience and the many I’ve seen all are stated as unverified, he also is very much against clients leaving negative feedback which misleads the public.

At the worst point he made unacceptable legal threats and false accusations against me, claiming that leaving negative feedback waives confidentiality.
I took legal advice and was informed that everything he said there was nonsense, wrong and baseless and they were very concerned by JB’s conduct, and was supported in making a complaint against him.






I complained to the SLCC about Joe Boyd in the end.

So many organisations supported me being a abuse survivor and being in a helpless position being accused by someone who sexually abused me for something I did not do,
and I feel so incredibly distressed by my experience at JB’s firm I needed continued mental help support from crisis organisations.

Nearly every interaction with JB, in my genuine experience left me feeling anxious, nervous, very distressed, very afraid and deeply humiliated and disempowered.
By the end I suffered a mental breakdown from my experience at this firm and had to see the GP for an emergency appointment.

I finally left JB when I had the chance and leaving him was the best decision I ever made.

I wish deeply wish I never met JB, my life experience would have been so much better if I had never met him.

After finally finding the courage to leave JB,

My new lawyer treated me with respect and decency I deserve and I received an excellent result from a case I was always innocent of and was arguably never in the public interest to begin with as crisis support workers supported me and they also wanted this case dropped for me.

So many organisations supported me in this case being a abuse survivor and being in a helpless position being accused by someone who sexually abused me for something I did not do and ending up needing representation for a minor case.
I felt so distressed by my experience at this firm I needed continued mental help support from crisis organisations to recover.

I found myself fawning as a trauma response having to people please and be excessively polite and complimentary, making feel submissive, for fear of any negativity from JB, my polite efforts I felt were completely undervalued.

He wouldn’t respond to important emails and I was in constant fear of his stern temper and false accusations he made about me a number of times.

By the end due to my experience at this firm I suffered a mental breakdown and had to see the GP for an emergency appointment.

He claimed by leaving a negative google review this waives confidentiality which he is categorically not allowed to do.

A shared my experience with a reputable lawyer and they were very concerned and by Joe’s conduct and support me reporting him to the SLCC which I will do.
