About

Disputes: I have called San Diego home for 45 years. I am a proud Aztec and avid football fan. For the last 15 years, my practice has been focused primarily on real estate litigation. As of September, 2020 I am shifting my practice away from litigation and real estate. Instead, I will be taking two kinds of cases: Collecting large judgments, and contract formation and disputes - up to the point litigation becomes necessary. I will continue to represent clients in real estate transactions, including preparing contracts, responding to contracts, and all points in between, right through the end of escrow.If you need help with a real estate transaction or have a large judgment you need help collecting, please call me to discuss it.

If you're like I used to be thinking, all attorneys are gold digger; that's because you haven't been in the hands of Mr. Richard Boyer. He was actually too busy to take our case but made time to listen & offer guidance as free consultation. His analysis was a clear snap. In a few minutes he opened all doors & windows for our distressed minds. His knowledge, intelligence, empathy are a breath of fresh air in the industry. We should all help preserve & promote such valuable service because he truly makes a difference to the industry. Does it sound too good to be true? Just call & be inspired like us. It may be the most important phone call that can turn you & your family life around.

I have used Rick twice now: once for a relatively minor situation involving an unruly landlord in Del Mar and then for a much more serious case of land fraud in Valley Center. With each situation, what amazed me the most was how Rick could listen to my rambling of an explanation as to what had happened and turn it into the most organized, well written, masterpiece of a letter, legal demand, etc… documenting every law the offender broke, catching subtle nuances I had completely missed myself, and written with such eloquence would just leave you amazed as you read it. I’ve never experienced anything like it. He writes like Mozart composed music. It was actually exciting just to see the letters he produced. In fact, co-workers would ask to read them they were so impressed as well… sometimes shaking their head saying, “I… LOVE how your lawyer writes!” Rick was always very mindful of my budget as well… and - never - overcharged me. He is an extremely honest and ethical attorney… was always polite and respectful… with a witty sense of humor as well. So, needless to say, Rick resolved both of my lawsuits in a very favorable way. I am bound by the terms of the settlement agreements not to disclose the details, but I can say that I am very happy with their outcome. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone in need of an outstanding attorney.

I hired Mr. Boyer several years ago for a few cases, and I have yet to come across an attorney that has produced the results that he has. Do not waste your time meeting with other lawyers. He is as good as they get! Unfortunately I can't hire him for all of my legal matters, but if I could I certainly would!

I cant begin to tell you how grateful I am to Mr. Boyer. I placed many calls to over 8 attorneys claiming to know landlord tenant law and was sadly disappointed every-time feeling frustrated and left without answers. I was shocked what I heard come from Mr. Boyer and that was I can help you. He sent me after scanning and emailing me case laws to help my small claims case not asking me for a dime. I was and still am in shock that he did all the things he said he was going to do and left me feeling hopeful , grateful and optimistic of my outcome against the previous tenants for damages to our rental. After 19 years as a Professional REALTOR I can say that Richard Boyer is by far a step above the rest and no amount of words can tell you how grateful we are to you for this valuable information. You are a cut above the rest. Thanks!

I spoke with three other lawyers before finding Richard L. Boyer. From the moment he answered his phone, (Yes, he answered his own phone, every time) I felt he would do a good job. Mr. Boyer surpassed my expectation in every way, truly. He was always great at responding quickly. He has a very patient ear, particularly considering I can go into lengthily explanations. He is kind, respectful, considerate, not to mention extremely tactful and knowledgeable. I had a situation where my condo association would not release insurance funds paid for water damage. I was truly amazed at his firm tact at convincing the Association they needed to hand over the insurance money to me. Finding Mr. Boyer was one of my luckiest and best finds. He is actually a very personal, warm and as I said, extremely knowledgable. I truly felt like I had a good friend on my side. You'll have no regrets hiring Mr. Boyer. He's a true gem.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rick to anyone having a real estate issue. He helped us win a fraud case against a corporation and we got everything we asked for. He kept us informed, was very thorough in his research and his confidence and knowledge of real estate law was reassuring through a very difficult and stressful time. Rick took my case due to a problem that I had with a previous attorney and he got up to speed very quickly. I felt comfortable that I was in good hands. He exceeded my expectations on every level. I highly recommend Rick for anyone having a legal issue.

Richard Boyer represented us in a law suit against a major appliance manufacturer who's product caused a fire in our kitchen. I was fearful that the size of the manufacturer would over whelm our legal effort. Mr. Boyer paid strict attention to the case and kept us fully informed as to the status of the litigation. In the end it was Mr. Boyer's negotiating skills that got us a settlement that was both favorable and just. We are most appreciative as efforts on our behalf.

Rick handled our matter in a very efficient and professional way. Working with him made a stressful situation a lot easier to manage. He gave us frequent status reports and treated us like team members. I recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Richard Boyer is an attorney that I trust and truly respect, he kept me informed and provided superior service. He is someone that I would recommend and will use in the future if need be.

I hired Richard to settle a relatively straight forward case regarding a contingency contract. He obviously didn't listen to the amount we discussed which was $19,000 if I lost at most. Not only did he lose the case due to sloppy preparation, he didn't include important information that will affect my appeal. In addition, the judgement against me is for $58,000 because his negligence. Totally screwed me and then tried to bill me for additional $4000!! Avoid this attorney at all costs!
