A lifelong central Pennsylvania resident and a former assistant district attorney, Dennis Boyle has extensive experience in all facets of commercial and white collar criminal litigation.

Having tried more than 140 cases, he is admitted to practice in all federal and state courts in Pennsylvania and Florida, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court. He received his Juris Doctor cum laude from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 1987, and a Bachelor of Arts from Elizabethtown College in 1983. He has recently completed the requirements for a Master of Law in International Law from George Washington University.

After graduating from law school, he entered the U.S. Navy's Judge Advocate General's Corps and graduated from Naval Justice School in Newport, Rhode Island. Deployed to the Middle East during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, he served as both a prosecutor and defense attorney in several high profile cases. He currently holds the rank of Commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve and serves as the Executive Officer for NAVJAG 519, which is assigned to support the Navy Judge Advocate General's Appellate Defense Division in Washington, D.C.
