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.

Mr. Schahrer was recommended to us by a neighbor who had a similar problem. It was good to know he was experienced in this area of litigation. Mr. Schahrer was quick to respond and kept us up to date with important details. It was definitely a pleasure working with him and seeing the case completed.

I want to say how impressed I was (and still am) with Stephen Schahrer and Toni Blanchard's professionalism and attention to the details in my case. I am extremely grateful for all their hard work. We are still waiting to see how the judge rules but I will accept whatever the outcome may be as I know an absolute full effort was put forth and the outcome is totally in God's hands now. THANK YOU Both for being awesome and making me confident that you understood the details which you presented so perfectly! Thanks for everything!!

Working with Stephen Scharer, Esq., has been a great experience. It’s always stressful when you need an attorney. However from the beginning Stephen and his team at Boatman Ricci took the reins, obtained all necessary information and created a plan, then executed that plan. With their professionalism and knowledge, I was able to continue on with my daily life as usual with no added pressure and focus on what I needed to do without the headaches of a lawsuit. They quickly brought the lawsuit into mediation and situation resolved. Thank you Stephen and please thank your team as well! I will add that from this experience, Stephen Scharer Esq., and Boatman Ricci are handling all of our business matters. Thanks again!

Working with Stephen was was a wonderful experience despite the hardship I was experiencing. He helped me work through over 18 months of an extremely complicated business matter. His expertise in corporate litigation is second to none and he was able to desperately guide me through every step. He always made sure I understood the actions being taken on both sides and I feel confident I have the best possible outcome! If you are dealing with any issues within your business or corporation, small or large. I highly recommend Stephen.

“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

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.

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.
