Boatman Ricci – Tallahassee, FL

Truth Guided, Relationship Driven Litigation

Boatman Ricci is a dynamic, full-service law firm providing skilled legal representation to a diverse range of clients across Florida. While the firm first built its reputation as a premier civil litigation practice, it has expanded to offer exceptional counsel in business transactions, estate planning, and criminal defense. Founded in 2006, our firm operates on two core principles: being ”Truth Guided” and ”Relationship Driven.” We believe that objective truth holds intrinsic power in any conflict and that advocating from a position of truth creates unique leverage. This philosophy, combined with our commitment to building strong client relationships, allows us to provide the same high level of diligence and efficiency to a Fortune 500 company as we do to an individual needing pragmatic advice. With offices in Tallahassee, Naples, and Marco Island, we are equipped to serve clients anywhere in the state, going head-to-head with large firms and government entities alike.

Commercial and Civil Litigation

At our core, we are trial lawyers. Boatman Ricci’s Tallahassee office is adept at handling the entire conflict continuum, from pre-suit strategy and negotiation through trial and the appellate process. We represent clients in a broad spectrum of commercial litigation matters, including:

• Business Disputes: Resolving conflicts ranging from breach of contract and fraud to partnership and shareholder disputes.
• Real Estate Litigation: Handling disputes over property rights, commercial leases, and land use.
• Construction Litigation: Representing owners, contractors, and subcontractors in disputes over construction defects and payment issues.
• Trust and Probate Litigation: Advocating for beneficiaries and fiduciaries in disputes over wills and trusts.

We prepare every case as if it is going to trial, a strategy that often leads to better settlements and ensures we are always ready for the courtroom.

Business and Commercial Transactions

Beyond litigation, we are trusted advisors for businesses. Our team guides clients through a variety of business and commercial transactions. We provide counsel on business formation, contract drafting and negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, and regulatory compliance. We help you structure your deals to minimize risk and maximize opportunity, providing the legal framework you need to grow your business with confidence.

Comprehensive Legal Services

Our firm’s capabilities extend to several other critical practice areas. We handle debtor-creditor disputes, assisting both sides in resolving financial conflicts. For community associations, we provide counsel on homeowners and condominium association disputes. Our attorneys are also experienced in appellate advocacy, handling appeals to overturn unfavorable rulings or defend successful verdicts. This full-service approach ensures that we can be a long-term partner for our clients, ready to handle whatever legal challenges they may face.
