Nowell Lloyd Kaye

Lloyd guided me through one of the most stressful chapters of my life with clarity, calm, and razor-sharp instincts. He consistently predicted the outcome of every hearing with uncanny precision, and helped me avoid emotional traps while staying focused on what mattered most: protecting my children. ...His writing, courtroom presence, and strategic advice were all top-tier. Even now that my divorce is finalized, his guidance continues to shape how I handle ongoing custody matters. I can’t imagine having gone through this process without him.

So much of the process of family law will gloss over the finer details of your your kids’ circumstances. You need your attorney to have energy enough to dig into the details. This is where Lloyd Kaye shines. A friend had referred me to Lloyd and he was kind enough to meet about my case - which had... become quite complicated and multi-layered. I’d had numerous attorneys from previous actions - and numerous mis-steps. From the start, Lloyd was clearly adept at navigating detail and complications and, to his credit, initially advised me to do nothing. A year and a half later when issues became worse I retained Lloyd to help improve my child custody circumstances. Lloyd’s approach to my case was different from what I'd experienced previously. These really stand out to me. 1. Lloyd is very intelligent and stayed focused on the big picture. 2. Lloyd really did his homework and sought to understand the moving pieces; the history, previous actions. 3.. From my experience, Lloyd will also been very frank with you about... you. Right or wrong, you need to know how you’re perceived. 4. Lloyd will actually ask about your kid. It matters that your attorney is considering your kid’s outcome. 5. Lloyd's drafts included a lot of detail, were thoughtful, and managed to do so without becoming convoluted and unreadable. Not easy to do. 6. Lloyd will tell you to walk away if you don’t have a reasonable chance of improving your status. Lastly, another good reason I'd highly recommend Lloyd: His effort will be cost competitive, and he'll be efficient. Regardless of who you choose to represent you, it will likely cost tens of thousands of dollars. My situation is pretty high conflict, detailed, and my costs reached $9.5k just to get draft #1 of a declaration composed. There will be multiple draft revisions, filings, court date(s), letters, phone calls, emergent issues, post-hearing wrangling of paperwork, etc., before you are done. You need to be sure you're making an investment in an attorney that will not let the details slip through the cracks. I, in turn, recommended a friend to Lloyd to handle his concerns, and he also got excellent results with similar views of Lloyd's effort. As a single dad, I'd recommend Lloyd's work to anyone that asks.
