About Stephen

Steve Boyd spent several years as a local television reporter in Buffalo while working to earn a legal degree from the University at Buffalo Law School. He has been a practicing personal injury attorney since 1999 and helps people who find themselves in the situations he previously reported.

Steve has focused his entire legal career representing survivors of serious injury accidents. He has successfully obtained fair verdicts and settlements for his clients during that time.

Our firm works under a contingent fee arrangement, which means we would handle your personal injury claim in exchange for a percentage of the amount recovered. If there is no money recovery, there is no legal fee.
