Ms. Lloyd believes in a settlement-based approach, so as to save clients resources and resolve their matters expediently. This approach is crucial in family law as many clients are fighting for the things that matter most- their homes, their property, and their children.

Reviews
Madeline in three words: Integrity, Diligence, Confidence. I greatly appreciate Madeline’s counsel throughout the divorce process, which included children and a dissipation claim. Madeline is an attorney of great character and integrity, always poised and confident, patient, always forward thinking in knowing how one change may affect other matters of the case, and very helpful in explaining the process. It is out of character for me to blindly trust someone I have never met with something important to me, but I am grateful for Madeline representing me in this matter and hold her in high reverence. I was never afraid of trial, despite the odds and what was at stake to lose, because of the confidence that I had in her — even knowing the evidence would not be in my favor. I knew from the beginning Madeline is much more than a paperwork attorney. In my eyes, there are paperwork attorneys, capable of filing paperwork, and there are trial attorneys, capable of thinking and debating quickly, concisely and diligently. I believe Madeline to be the latter, though our case was thankfully settled before trail. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone needing a divorce attorney.
I highly recommend Madeline Lloyd as an attorney. I found her to be very approachable and easy to communicate with - she made me feel comfortable and responded to all of my questions in a timely manner. Madeline remained organized throughout my trial and attention to detail was noted in all paperwork displaying her knowledge of the law and interest in fighting for me. She explained the law in terms I could understand, was patient, straight-forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone who needs legal advice.
Before getting married I had the idea to set up a somewhat unconventional prenup. The goal was to protect my wife's downside in the event that I became a deadbeat, and protect my upside in the event that I become a 1% earner. Madeline made my complicated prenup simple and was willing to work with me to get the right language. She is very professional, personable, and sharp about her advice. I would absolutely recommend her.
Morgan and Madeline both help me with my divorce. They understood my situation, and advocated for me. Never been divorced before nor did I know what to expect. They helped me through the entire process heard my moments of being upset and didn’t judge me one but. Instead they guided me, listened to me, and still advocated. They were both tremendous at what they do, and will always be greatly appreciated. Highly recommend either one and or the law firm in general. Thank you so much.
Working with Madeline was the easiest part of my entire divorce process. She's understanding, patient, prompt, and clear. I'm so grateful for her services.
Madeline is very knowledgeable. She helped me through my divorce. She thought of everything and made sure my child was always the priority when discussing things. She always responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her as your lawyer!
