He has tried more than 150 domestic relations cases involving issues of business valuations, complex financial structures and custody and modification of custody issues. Thirty-five years of being an effective litigator and dogged proponent of his client's interests has given Mr. Boyd a decided edge in effective settlement negotiations. Trial skills are often a deterrent to trials. To date, Mr. Boyd has negotiated settlements in cases involving everything from multi-million dollar estates to more nominal cases.

Millions have been added to estates resulting in larger awards for his client. Mr. Boyd has served as a delegate from DuPage County to the Illinois State Bar Association.
