Chris Hanslik and Bill Boyar Receive National Recognition

This deal was a very important milestone for Blackline, and we could never have done it without the assistance and contributions of the entire BoyarMiller team. Their expertise, support, and hard work was great and helped us be successful across from some very large and big name firms to get the Houston Warehouse Deal developed and closed. Bill Boyar’s leadership was masterful, as always.

Mike Day CEO, Blackline Cold Storage

We specifically sought out attorneys that would be deal makers and not deal killers. Bill Boyar came highly recommended from the investment banking community and proved to be creative and a deal maker, for sure. Bill’s relationships with banks and his experience with credit agreements really helped to get us across the finish line. We look forward to growing the company and to further the relationship with Bill and BoyarMiller.

Andy Priest CEO, Amtel

Valley Baptist Health System began working with Bill Boyar and his team in 2004. The very first project involved a $70MM acquisition of a hospital that closed within 90 days. What a great first impression! Bill and the entire team have provided our system with invaluable legal and business advice in an extremely efficient and responsive manner.

BoyarMiller represents Valley Baptist Health System and its affiliates in connection with corporate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, finance, real estate, antitrust, employment and employment litigation.

Manny Vela Senior Vice-President, Chief Legal Officer, Valley Baptist Health System

Bill Boyar has been a strong voice of reason through the somewhat tumultuous and precipitous growth of our firm. While BoyarMiller’s senior partners have provided us with uncommon insight for developing and achieving our vision, their dedicated partners and associates have labored tirelessly to help guide our organization towards that goal. They are much more than a law firm.

BoyarMiller served as counsel to TCP Holdings, LLC and its affiliates on over 40 acquisitions and financings totaling over $240MM in asset value and have provided corporate, real estate, capital formation, strategic planning, litigation and creditors’ rights services.

David A. Thomas Principal and CIO, TCP Holdings, LLC

We are extremely grateful for the relationship that we have with Bill Boyar. We came to Bill a little over a year ago as a small company with a successful track record and a strong desire to grow. He helped us to define our goals and then formulate the details of a strategic plan to accomplish our vision. He and his team of professionals have provided exemplary service at all times, but there is much more to the relationship. Bill has become a trusted friend, advisor and business partner who continually displays great enthusiasm for the journey.

BoyarMiller has provided corporate, real estate leasing, employment, strategic planning and capital formation services to Freebirds.

Alan Hixon Former President / COO, Freebirds World Burrito

Legal counsel, the saying goes, promises process, but not product. My experiences with BoyarMiller, however, confirm to me they are product-orientated. They are not oriented to the process of papering the deal. It’s the deal, stupid. That operating premise distinguishes BoyarMiller. They are true counsel that seeks best in breed lawyers to paper the deal only after BoyarMiller has first come to understand the product.

Drew Kanaly Chairman and President, Kanaly Trust

Bill Boyar and his team took such good care of us in this process. this was not a “transaction” for Bill and his team, rather it was a relationship they continually built with us to advocate our interests through every phase of the process. They simplified seemingly complex details into easily understood context and decision points. I cant speak highly enough of the team. Their reputation is well earned.

Billi Jo and Mike Buckles

The Welcome Group was able to move forward with negotiations with total confidence because we were represented by a firm that had been there 50 times before. Bill Boyar knew one of the principals of the New York firm that was furnishing the $300 million and his advice to us was priceless. BoyarMiller is the best.

Welcome Wilson, Jr CEO, Welcome Group, LLC

Our relationship with Bill Boyar and the entire BoyarMiller team has been exceptional for more than 12 years. They always hit the mark for us on a broad range of legal issues including M&A, Real Estate, Corporate Structuring, Commercial Contracts, Employment Matters, Asset Sales, and occasional Litigation. But more than that, it is their personal connection with the client, responsiveness, practicality, communications and efficiency that truly sets them apart. We enjoy a big law firm level of support but delivered to us in a friendly, comfortable, helpful, and cost-effective way that no big law firm could duplicate.

Mike Day, CEO of Blackline Partners, LLC

I first met Bill Boyar and the BoyarMiller team when we sold our family’s trust company, which my grandfather founded in 1975. BoyarMiller was instrumental in helping us achieve a win for shareholders, clients, and employees. With the set up of our new company, we appreciate their continued support in ensuring compliance and delivering exceptional client service. We value our strong partnership with BoyarMIller who shares our commitment to taking care of our people.

Kamden Canolly Chairman, KDK Wealth Management

BoyarMiller offers a unique boutique experience with personalized service and legal competency. Bill Boyar’s strategic thinking and ability to provide clarity on critical matters through a lens of intentionality, while Lyndsay’s incredible deal work ensured we reached the finish line. The support and partnership with BoyarMiller have been instrumental in my entrepreneurial journey.

Ali Nasser CEO, AltruVista

I first encountered Bill Boyar during an acquisition where he represented the seller, yet his approach impressed me by ensuring the transaction’s success for both parties. This experience led us to choose BoyarMiller when our growing company needed a more robust legal partner. Their comprehensive services have proven invaluable, providing us with a one-stop solution for all our legal needs as we continue to expand. BoyarMiller’s ability to offer everything in one place has been instrumental in supporting our company’s growth trajectory.
