Our Values | Our Vision
The Boatman Ricci Difference

Boatman Ricci was founded on the belief that objective truth has intrinsic power in the dynamics of conflict; that the “resonance” of truth creates palpable leverage in communications; and that when one advocates from a position founded in objective truth, that advocate’s argument resonates uniquely.

We believe in transparency and honesty in every interaction, providing our clients with clear, straightforward advice. Our commitment to truth builds trust and allows us to represent your interests with integrity and dedication, always striving for the best possible outcome.

Our “Truth Guided, Relationship Driven.” approach sets us apart. We provide the same high-quality services to every client, regardless of the size or value of a case. By building lasting connections, we can tailor our strategies to meet your goals and provide ongoing counsel to help meet your needs.

I take very seriously this idea of being truth guided and relationship driven. I strive to live my life accountable to that mission statement whether counseling a client, discipling a friend or leading my family. I want to peak at the very end of this earthly walk and hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant!

James A. Boatman, Jr.
