Melissa M. Boyd
Divorce Law - Plymouth Meeting, PA

You could say there is a social worker in me - it's one of the reasons I was drawn to family law. I truly listen, and I am sympathetic of what my clients go through. But I also will always give my honest opinion. After all, I am their advocate -- I am there first and foremost to look out for the interests of my client.

I have been practicing family law for over twenty years, and I don’t think I could feel more proud or excited to form Boyd & Early Family Law LLC with my dear friend and colleague, Liz Early. Our team that has been formed as Boyd & Early Family Law LLC brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that will serve all our clients. As colleagues, we respect each other, we learn from each other, and we support each other.

I'm a positive person - I make every effort to be friendly and collegial, even with opposing counsel. At the same time, I recognize and value my credibility - my friendliness can be disarming, because others know I am capable of being hard-nosed. I have never hesitated in bringing a contested matter before a judge. That's the role we play, as advocates.

The ever-evolving changes to our social and economic climates put new stresses on families. The changes have impacted the practice of family law. To solve problems I think there is a lot more creative lawyering going on. As lawyers we can never use a mechanical approach. We stay on top of changes in the law and we ourselves are thought leaders, holding executive positions in organizations that are trailblazing. And even more important, we approach every case with compassion and understanding.

I very much like what I do. I feel good about it. I help my clients get to the next chapter of their lives, with as few scars as possible for everyone involved. For me that's very rewarding.
