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 Ernest Ricci

My husband and I hired Mr. Ricci and this law firm as a result of a contractor taking advantage of us. Over the time we dealt with this practice, everyone was very understanding , courteous and extremely responsive. It was always easy to contact Mr. Ricci and speak with him personally. We had a difficult case which took longer than originally anticipated but with their constant communication we were always informed of how the case was going. We would definitely recommend this firm.

Attorney Boatman is unlike any attorney I have ever met, he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond. He is attentive and guides you through resolution with Integrity, Morality and Dignity. The mere fact that Attorney Boatman talks to you and not at you is impressive, he is not just an "Attorney" he is a man who has been blessed with the ability through his strong spiritual leadership to guide you through the process of resolution with Character.

Hired Attorney Ernest Ricci

The balcony above our condo was leaking into our living room causing significant damage and the HOA and management company were not acting on our behalf to resolve the issue. We reached out to Attorney Ernest Ricci of The Boatman Law Firm for assistance. We are extremely pleased with the results from Ernest's hard work. Our condo has now been repaired and the balcony is no longer leaking. Ernest was diligent, professional and extremely knowledgeable in Florida condominium law.

My wife and I hired Mr. Boatman as our attorney to assist us with multiple foreclosure possibilities for condos we owned in Pensacola, FL. We worked with him and his office personnel for about 6 years and will continue to work with him in the future when indicated. We have found him to be honest and thorough throughout our relationship. There is no doubt in our minds that without his help we would be much worse off from a financial point of view. He listened to us and is now our friend.

Hired Law Firm

We hired Jim Boatman to help with building violations by construction next door which affected our property. Jim personally was with us all along the way helping us understand the process and our possible courses of action. After a lawsuit was filed, settlement was reached with the violations being removed. We would not hesitate to use the Boatman Law Firm in the future. Integrity and honesty are words that come to mind with any interaction with his team.

James Boatman is an outstanding attorney and this is a terrific firm. They are relationship driven, very responsive and highly effective. Being involved in any litigation can be stressful and overwhelming at times. I could not recommend a better attorney and firm to guide you through this process.

Being in the throws of a lawsuit by a bank is by far one of the most stressful experiences our family has ever experienced. Jim Boatman rode the roller coaster with us. He took on our emotions and made them his own. He cared for us professionally by dealing with the ugly business side of the suit, but became a caregiver by praying with us and for us. I cannot explain the depth of courage by a lawyer to let his personal beliefs and inner thoughts be revealed in such a positive way.
