About Jeffery
Jeffery Boyd holds a B.A. in psychology from Kent State University and a J.D. from The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law. He trained in traditional courtroom skills and has combined that background with long-standing involvement in trial organizations. He counts both Ohio and Washington among the jurisdictions where he practices, and he is admitted to the Sixth Circuit.
Boyd’s career spans public and professional service alongside courtroom work. He maintained deep ties to Ohio’s trial bar for many years, serving as a trustee of the Ohio Association for Justice from 1996 to 2003 and leading the Central Ohio Association for Justice as its president in 2000–2001. He also served as a state delegate to the American Association for Justice from 2011 to 2013 and held an associate editor role for the Washington State Association for Justice’s Trial News from 2011 to 2013.
In Washington, Boyd has been active on several fronts. He has been a member of the Washington State Association for Justice Board since 2010 and has served on its Legislative Steering Committee over the same period. He has been recognized within the association as an Eagle member since 2009. Since 2012 he has been on the faculty of the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, a role that reflects ongoing involvement in training other lawyers in trial technique and courtroom presentation.
Boyd’s professional affiliations stretch across trial, appellate, and advocacy organizations. He holds memberships in the American Association for Justice, the American Society for Trial Consultants, the Association of Wage and Hour Lawyers, the Melvin M. Belli Society, Public Justice, the National Trial Lawyers, and regional groups including the Western Trial Lawyers Association and local bar associations in Clallam and Jefferson counties. Within the AAJ he participates in the Jury Bias Litigation Group and has taken editorial roles for Ohio and Central Ohio trial publications.
Those affiliations signal a practice shaped by trial work and plaintiff-side advocacy. Boyd has combined editorial work — serving as an editor for several trial publications — with hands-on litigation in state and federal courts. He has worked on cases that bring together expert testimony, jury consulting and appellate briefing when matters progress beyond trial.
He maintains a practice representing plaintiffs in civil litigation, including personal injury and wage-and-hour matters.
