Last Will & Testament with a smile : )

Mr. Boyd assisted my husband and I on preparing our Last Will & Testament, including a Trust. He and his legal staff were extremely professional and knowledgeable. We had many questions and they took the time to answer them all. Mr. Boyd was compassionate and empathetic to our needs as he advised ...us and guided us through this process.

Responsive and effective

Mr. Boyd (Don) has assisted me for the last four years as I prepared to file for divorce, during the divorce negotiations, and continues to assist me with child custody and support issues. He and his team are responsive, knowledgeable of changing legal statutes, and always able to navigate the politi...cs of Cook County courts. While my ex has gone through several attorneys Don has been a steady and consistent advocate for me and my children's interests. While I hadn't anticipated that issues related to the divorce would continue for years, Don has been able to help me through those issues. I'd recommend him to others without hesitation.

Excellent!

Mr. Boyd has a wealth of knowledge and professionalism. I was immediately impressed with his work ethic and how he took the time to not just listen to me, but understand my concerns. Mr. Boyd worked diligently to get the job done. He has the effectiveness, if not better, of a "downtown" attorney but ...at a much reasonable rate. I would definitely hire him if you were going through a divorce and needed some guidance and a great attorney on your side. Most attorneys will only want your check. Mr. Boyd wants to win your case! That's the difference and that made all the difference for me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
