Mr. Boatman is an AV-Preeminent Rated commercial litigator with extensive experience in both federal and state courts. He has handled a broad spectrum of matters including: contract enforcement; foreclosure prosecution/defense; internet wire fraud prosecution; special asset recovery; construction defect litigation; common law tort cases (fraud, defamation, etc.) and many others.As technically capable as Mr. Boatman is, his greatest attribute is his genuine focus on relationships. Mr. Boatman believes that while a high IQ is important in a lawyer, a high EQ ("Emotional Quotient") is just as important both as it relates to client interaction and conflict strategy.Conflict, from its earliest stages through the rigors of litigation, is extremely difficult and costly. Within the stages of escalation and resolution, it is essential that clients have wise counsel to provide honest and sound cost/risk assessments on which clients can build accurate and well-informed expectations. Only then can clients really make informed decisions about their strategic options.The efficacy of Mr. Boatman's approach is evidenced not only in his AV-Preeminent Peer Rating but also in his client satisfaction ratings. Mr. Boatman annually receives Martindale-Hubble's "Client Distinction Award" which is awarded to less than 1% of all AV-Rated lawyers. Mr. Boatman covets this Award more than any other that he receives.Above all else, there is one "unfair advantage" for Mr. Boatman's clients. Clients of Mr. Boatman are fortunate to have a capable and highly-rated attorney who cares enough to pray over clients' cases and their lives, even if a client does not believe in the power of prayer.Inns of Court.
