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. James Boatman Jr., Esq.

It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Boatman. He was very knowledgeable on the subject. He also showed a great deal of care in explaining everything in great detail. I give him a 10/10, and I would use him again no questions asked.

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.

Stephen Schahrer was my lawyer for a probate litigation case. He was super compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable. With their truth guided approach, I was confident that Stephen and his associates would be able to help me and put me with my case. I would recommend Boatman Ricci to anyone who needs legal advice.

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.
