About Madeline
Madeline Lloyd combines a background in psychology with legal training to shape how she approaches client matters. She listens first, then sorts through facts and law. That straightforward method informs her work and guides how she prepares cases and advises clients.
She earned her J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology after completing a B.S. in psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her undergraduate studies exposed her to behavioral science and research methods. The combination of social science and law has influenced how she analyzes testimony, evaluates disputes and frames legal arguments.

She has experience preparing pleadings and briefs, conducting legal research and supporting trial teams. Colleagues describe her as methodical in motion and precise in written work. She handles both client-facing responsibilities and behind-the-scenes litigation tasks.
Her professional skill set includes written advocacy, legal research and client interviewing. Those skills are applied across the matters she handles. She pays close attention to factual records and statutory frameworks. That combination helps when assessing risk and advising clients on possible outcomes.
Lloyd is an active member of the Illinois State Bar. She practices in Illinois and appears in state courts as part of her work at the firm. Outside the office she has participated in continuing legal education programs to stay current on procedural developments and emerging case law.
Her colleagues say she brings an organized approach to complex files. She balances careful document review with the ability to distill key issues for clients. That style allows clients and team members to see practical next steps sooner rather than later.
At Taradash Given, P.C., Lloyd handles matters arising under Illinois law and contributes to trial preparation, motion practice and client counseling.
