In 2014, Nicholas M. Ramos and his family moved to Sioux Falls from Sacramento, California where he was raised. Over the years, Ramos worked in many industries, gaining hands-on experience and skillsets that he often refers back to today. He served as a Senior Right of Way Agent in several utility companies and government agencies. He has also worked as a Loan Officer, a Personal Banker, and an Information Technology Specialist and Salesperson. As an Attorney, Nicholas proudly applies the diversity of knowledge and skillsets that he acquired in these industries to help his clients.

Graduating with honors, Ramos was awarded his Juris Doctorate from the University of South Dakota in 2019. He served as a Law Clerk for the 2nd Judicial Circuit, working with all 12 circuit judges, researching, writing opinions and memorandums and providing various other forms of support.

Ramos’ background in business, government, information technology and real property make him a valuable asset as a lawyer as it offers a diverse and critical perspective to his litigation. He’ll spend his time focusing on Civil Litigation, Administrative Law, Business & Transactions, Construction Law, Real Estate and Trusts & Estates Law.

“I enjoy working with many areas of law,” says Ramos. “My diverse background in practical skills, experiences and work ethic have helped push me further in my career. My passion really shows through when I have the opportunity to write opinions based on bold honesty and critical thinking.”

Alexander “Zander” H. Savage grew up in Yankton, South Dakota and aspired to be an FBI Agent. Though this career path did not materialize, his love for the law never wavered. He spent his undergraduate years at the University of South Dakota, where he double-majored in Criminal Justice and Psychology, graduating magna cum laude in 2017. Thereafter, Savage attended the University of Nebraska College of Law, where he graduated with distinction and was awarded his Juris Doctorate in 2020.

Savage focuses on Transactional Law, including the practice areas of Business and Transactions, Real Estate and Trusts and Estates. During law school, he had the opportunity to work with business owners and give early-stage transactional advice and representation and then joined the Boyce Law Firm team as an intern, learning from his peers and integrating into their culture.

“I really enjoy being able to apply what I learned in school to the real world,” says Savage. “When clients have questions, I like being able to guide them and help them understand the entire situation.”

“Nick and Zander are hardworking and bring new perspectives and skillsets to the Firm,” says Partner, Gregory H. Wheeler. “They make great additions to our team.”
