About Leonard R.
Leonard R. Boyer built a legal career that began in the classrooms of New York Law School and SUNY Buffalo. He earned a J.D. from New York Law School in 1982 after completing a B.A. in Political Science and Psychology at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1978. Those early academic choices set the stage for steady work in both state and federal courts.
He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and in the federal appellate courts of the Second and Third Circuits. Over decades in practice he has handled matters that reached beyond trial dockets into appellate briefs and oral argument. Membership in the New Jersey State Bar Association has kept him connected to developments in state law and court procedure.
Boyer is a principal at Boyer Coffy, LLC, a firm that maintains multiple offices. At the firm he has combined courtroom work with appellate filings, representing clients in contested proceedings and in the steps that follow a trial. Colleagues describe him as measured in court and precise on paper. He is the kind of lawyer who lets filings and argument do the talking.
His experience includes work in federal appeals, reflecting admissions to the Second and Third Circuit courts. He prepares appellate briefs, handles records on appeal and presents oral argument when cases advance to the circuit level. In New Jersey he litigates matters in trial courts and handles the procedural mechanics that a contested case requires. Those dual roles—trial and appeal—shape how he approaches each matter from the outset.
Professional membership is a steady presence in his career. His involvement in the New Jersey State Bar Association has provided a forum for discussion of rules, ethics and emerging issues in state practice. That engagement helps keep practice skills current and informs strategic choices in litigation.
Clients who come to him can expect a methodical approach: attention to the record, careful drafting and readiness to press arguments in trial or on appeal. He has practiced through changes in court technology and shifting procedural standards. Today he continues to represent clients through Boyer Coffy, LLC and regularly appears in New Jersey courts and in the Second and Third Circuit federal courts. He currently concentrates his practice on appellate litigation and trial matters in New Jersey and in the federal circuits where he is admitted to appear.
