Before Steve Boyd was a Buffalo personal injury lawyer, he spent 16 years as a broadcast journalist telling people’s stories. When a new client has sustained a personal injury, Steve works hard to understand the true depth of how the injuries change their life. The key for personal injury lawyers is finding the most open and honest way to share the full truth of our clients’ injuries.

Steve was the first New York State personal injury attorney to graduate from both of the top two trial lawyer colleges in the country: The Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming and the Keenan Trial Institute in Atlanta. These colleges train and graduate the best personal injury attorneys in the country.

Steve travels the country both teaching and studying the cutting edge of personal injury law. His main passion is serving injured clients and their families in Buffalo personal injury cases.

Steve knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle back from injury and illness, and he’s passionate about helping others do just that.
