Construction Law
Boyd, DuRant & Sliger provides assistance to contractors and property owners regarding construction contracts, payment and performance bonds, construction liens, and all manner of construction disputes, no matter how complex.

Estate Planning and Probate
We encourage clients to revisit their estate planning when their marital status changes. While there are plenty of “do it yourself” estate planning tools available, Boyd, DuRant & Sliger attorneys provide specific advice to serve the unique goals and circumstances of our clients.

Appeals
In the civil justice system, a trial court’s ruling is not necessarily the end of the litigation experience. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to handle appeals of family law and real estate litigation in all Florida courts. If the circuit court rules in your favor, the opposing party may appeal. Conversely, if the court does not grant the relief you seek, our attorneys can review the judgment and provide valuable counsel on the likelihood of success on appeal. We help you arrive at decisions that can be monumental in terms of personal, family, or business success over the long term.
