I never, ever expected to be looking for a divorce attorney, not after 33 years so when my husband found someone else, I was overwhelmed and fighting panic. I have a long term chronic illness that has prevented me from working for the last 20 years, am self employed with a very small annual income and am not exactly hireable with all that and being over 55 years old. I was terrified and overwhelmed with worry about how I would be able to support myself going forward. Ms Loyd not only offered me much needed legal counsel, her calm and patient attitude gave me time to calm my mind, focus and ask for the information that I needed to know. Divorce is complicated, on top of the emotional devastation and upheaval. Ms Loyd was patient and kind with me, even when I was asking something for the third time. She was completely honest with me in tempering my expectations, yet still helped me get a very fair settlement and needed security for my future. If your life is going to be turned upside down, I would not hesitate to recommend Ms Loyd to help you find your new 'normal'.

She is very relatable to me, very human. And willing to build a good relationship with her clients. Very happy with her and her paralegal. While I HOPE to avoid lawyers in the future if possible, if I had an issue, I wouldn't think twice about going back to her and her team for help.

Ms. Loyd listened patiently to my issue and was willing to work with me to get what I needed during my divorce. We’ve just begun, but I have full confidence she’ll ensure I’ll be treated fairly during the proceedings.

I felt comfortable almost immediately with Ms. Loyd. So grateful for her calm, thoughtful responses. Divorce is never something you think will happen to you. The upheaval and uncertainty are difficult to face. I needed someone who would look after my interests and Ms. Loyd is that person. Thank you!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  There is no standard pricing in family law cases. It all hinges on the exact circumstances of your case and what issue are in dispute. I can ensure you that I am reasonable with billing and delegate the appropriate tasks to my staff to keep your legal fees down. I can also work with clients on payment plans, if necessary.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Typically, I start with a brief telephone consultation to ensure I can assist you in your matter. Next, we will schedule a time to meet in-person and fill out the necessary paperwork. As it is ideal to meet clients in person, I am flexible and can always work around your schedule to arrange a meeting over the phone.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Obviously I am a licensed attorney to practice law in the State of Texas, but I am also a qualified mediator and I am trained in collaborative law. Being trained in those areas enhance my ability to reach a reasonable and creative solution to each client's individual issues, when necessary.
