About Boatman Ricci

Truth Guided, Relationship Driven.

Boatman Ricci is a full service law firm that provides skilled legal services to a broad range of clients across the state of Florida. Though Boatman Ricci originally built its reputation as a premier civil litigation firm in Florida, the Firm has expanded its practice to provide its clients exceptional legal services in areas including estate planning, business commercial transactions, employer employment law, and criminal defense. With offices in Naples, Marco Island and Tallahassee, Boatman Ricci is able to provide its clients with legal services anywhere in the state and is able to do so cost-effectively. Boatman Ricci advises clients along the entire conflict continuum, from pre-suit strategy, through negotiations, case filing and trial, as well as the appellate process, if necessary. Founded by an experienced state and federal court litigator and empowered by leading-edge technology, including a paperless case management system and unparalleled trial presentation tools, Boatman Ricci is a firm that is comfortable going head-to-head with anyone, be they large firms or governmental entities. Being “Truth Guided”, Boatman Ricci was founded on the belief that objective truth has intrinsic power in the dynamics of conflict; that the “resonance” of truth creates palpable leverage in communications; and that when one advocates from a position founded in objective truth, that advocate’s argument resonates uniquely. Because it is “Relationship Driven”, Boatman Ricci provides the same high level of diligence, efficacy, and efficiency whether the client is a Fortune 500 company that needs to aggressively prosecute litigation or an individual who simply needs pragmatic consultation regarding something that has arisen in the walk of life. While Boatman Ricci cannot ensure its clients victory in every battle, it can assure its clients they will be provided with the highest level of legal services in a way designed to give them the best possible opportunity to make sound decisions and achieve their goals through the evolution and resolution of the dispute or transaction in which they are involved.

Hired Attorney Mr. Stephen C. Schahrer Esq.

We chose the Boatman Law Firm based on previous reviews. So glad we did. After meeting with Steven and his associates, we felt we were in the right hands. We were kept informed throughout the process through emails and phone calls on a regular basis. In the end, he was successful in bringing the matter to a resolution efficiently and effectively without the case going thru a tribunal. We could not be happier with their services. We would certainly call upon Steven and the Boatman Law Firm in the future, should an issue arise. A special thanks to the entire staff at the firm for making this experience a bit brighter for us.

Hired Attorney Mr. James Boatman Jr., Esq.

Mr. Boatman and associates are wonderful to work with. They explain all sides of issues and what the pros and cons of taking different paths. He will let you know what he thinks your best course of action is while always deferring to what the client wants. I can confidently say he is an honest man which is rare in the legal field from my experience.

Hired Attorney Mr. Stephen C. Schahrer Esq.

Stephen was great. The case was ridiculous against us and Stephen saw that and put together a plan to counter the lawsuit. Shortly after filing the case against us was dropped. I hate that we had to hire an attorney but we were found not guilty.

Hired Attorney Mr. Stephen C. Schahrer Esq.

Our company recently worked with attorney Stephen Schahrer on an important business matter and was extremely impressed with the level of service, professionalism, and expertise provided. From our first consultation, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the matter and a genuine commitment to protecting our interests. Stephen was thorough in reviewing documents, strategic in providing legal advice, and responsive to every question and concern we had throughout the process. What stood out most was his ability to navigate a complex situation with clarity and confidence, ultimately leading to a successful outcome for our case.

Jim Boatman is a caring and compassionate and honest man first of all. Add to it his knowledge and experience, professionalism and understanding and he is a true advocate for those in need. I’ve known Jim for 8 years and sought his counsel on many occasions and trusted that counsel to positive ends. I would highly recommend Jim and his entire practice to anyone in need of legal representation. And I have.

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.
