JD Lloyd is a great lawyer. He is highly ethical, knowledgeable, and professional but very kind and personable. He walked me through the complicated legal processes of my case which he handled with ease. I feel very lucky to have been represented by Mr. Lloyd. He made a nerve-wracking process much easier by explaining my options and allowing me to make informed decisions, keeping me informed about what steps to take, and making sure I got the best outcome possible.

Alicia McKay has been instrumental in helping my son get credit for his pretrial time spent in the county jail. We will be using her again for all of our legal needs. Thank you, J D Lloyd!

I owe Alisha and the rest of the law offices of JD Lloyd an immeasurable amount of gratitude for their hard work in my appeals process. Because of the great job she did, we won my appeal unanimously. Myself and my family are forever indebted to them for this fact. I highly recommend them for any appeals or case in the state of Alabama. Thank you again for everything!

Alisha is exceptional. She listened to understand our challenges and concerns, followed-up on a timely basis (which has been a challenge with other attorneys we've worked with), took time to explain what she was doing, learning and our options, and she always maintained a high level of compassion. She's knowledeable and persistent. And one of the things I appreciated the most is that she was clear - we knew what we were getting and what we weren't getting when we agreed to work together and yet, she didn't hestitate to go above and beyond for us. We were very fortunate for the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend Alisha.

Alicia McKay was very professional and knowledgeable about Alabama's parole process.. initially, my husbands' parole date was set back 35 years. After contacting Alicia, she told us a plan and followed through with the plan. It took her a week to get my husband a new parole date this year. I'll definitely recommend her services. She was honest up front & didn't want to charge us for other services she didn't think she could accomplish.

Alicia McKay, Alicia McKay, Alicia McKay, is the best lawyer that I've ever come across. She's a very thorough and diligently works on your case. She always answered my calls and my love one calls. My L.O. was going up for parole on a murder charge where he had the 18 years. He had been denied three times, and every parole lawyer that I work with always gave me to run around. Alicia McKay did a wonderful parole package, including getting with everybody who was going to speak and coaching them on what they say and what to do ,as well as calling multiple times to the support group of my loved one, include with talking with the transitional house where he was paroled too. It just wasn't the fact of my L.O. getting granted parole, it was the diligently and wonderful job she did through the process that has her always in my graces. Thank You so very much.💙💙💙

These people are great! Alisha McKay has really helped us maintain hope that my boyfriend will get back into the courtroom and have his chance to have a better outcome than what we received previously. J.D Lloyd's office is thorough and they are passionate about what they do. Alisha has been there for us to ask questions and far more, even after she had done what we hired her to do. Very personable, and can ease your mind without giving false hope. If you are looking for some lawyers who will go beyond to fight for you, this is the place. Forever grateful for their time.
