Alexander K. Anderson

Alex exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism. He remains composed under intense pressure, possesses exceptional negotiation skills, and has a remarkable ability to understand opposing counsel's strategy and motivations. This insight enables him to navigate complex disputes effectively an...d position his clients for the best possible outcomes. Here are more details: I had the pleasure of working with Alex for nearly three years, from September 2023 through June 2026. I divorced eight years ago. From that marriage, I have four children. Two are now adults, while the other two are currently 13 and 15 years old. We share custody. Under our custody arrangement, my ex-wife had tie-breaking authority over matters related to the children's well-being, while I had tie-breaking authority over educational decisions. I had the children 45.5% of the time and my ex-wife 54.5%. I believe my case has been among the most conflict-intensive family law cases. Over the past three years, the litigation escalated significantly. My ex-wife made approximately a dozen attempts to obtain sole custody, despite what I believe were no reasonable grounds for doing so. The major legal disputes fell into three categories: the sabbatical request, private school, and relocation to France. Thanks to Alex's work, my ex-wife was unsuccessful in all three rounds of litigation, despite filing numerous motions against me in each case. I would like to focus on the final litigation. My ex-wife had long wanted to live in France. Three years ago, she attempted to relocate the children there by presenting the move as a temporary sabbatical while seeking to circumvent the existing court order. That effort was unsuccessful due in large part to Alex's carefully developed legal strategy. I wrote a separate review describing that case. Two years later, my ex-wife decided to relocate to France permanently while voluntarily reducing her income to under 50% of the US income. She then petitioned the court for sole custody along with a substantial increase in child support. Her requests were denied on every major issue. This case became even more challenging because the Best Interest Attorney (BIA) initially took what I viewed as an overwhelmingly one-sided position in favor of my ex-wife. For much of the litigation, it seemed as though the attorney was acting more as a "Best Mom Interest Attorney" than as a Best Interest Attorney. On several occasions, I wanted to pursue legal action against the BIA, but Alex consistently encouraged me to remain patient. He spent considerable time explaining why that approach would not serve our broader objectives. Following another hearing, Alex requested a private discussion with the BIA. In a calm and respectful manner, he explained that the BIA attorney's responsibility was to advocate for the children's best interests rather than either parent. His approach was thoughtful and persuasive, especially considering the BIA's nearly 40 years of experience. Over the following weeks, he patiently and consistently pointed out issues and evidence that he believed had been overlooked by BIA. A few days before trial, I began to notice the BIA taking a more balanced and neutral position. About a week before trial, Alex initiated a serious effort to pursue a settlement. I greatly appreciated his judgment and ability to recognize an opportunity for resolution at a time when I believed settlement was impossible. He worked diligently to begin meaningful settlement discussions and to gain the BIA's support for a practical resolution. I am very pleased with the outcome. I retained shared custody, and I will continue to spend nearly the same amount of time with my children, primarily during their school holidays.

I had an excellent experience with attorney Alexander Anderson. He represented me in court with confidence and professionalism, spoke on my behalf effectively, and presented all the facts clearly. He is highly organized, a strong advocate, and truly goes above and beyond for his clients. During a... very difficult and unfortunate divorce, he helped me achieve full physical and legal custody of my daughter, something I am incredibly grateful for. His ability to argue persuasively and guide me through the process made all the difference, especially given the challenging circumstances. He was also very understanding of my financial situation and even offered a discounted rate after reviewing my pay stubs, which I deeply appreciated. Alexander is punctual, provides great advice, and genuinely takes the time to understand your situation from your perspective. His assistant, attorney Evan, is also wonderful, very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. If you are going through a divorce and need strong representation, I highly recommend Alexander Anderson. You will not be disappointed.

I hired Alex to take on my case earlier this year related to changing my marital separation agreement as I head towards retirement. Alex did an awesome job handling my case, negotiating on my behalf, and the end result was a new agreement that positions me to retire in a three years, and be completel...y out of my obligation to the ex. Thank you Alex!

I spoke to several lawyers about my divorce, but most of them ended the call after just 10 minutes, saying they had other appointments. I get that time is important, but if they didn’t take the time to fully understand my case, how could I trust them to deliver? Alex was different. He listened to ...everything I had to say, gave me solid advice based on his experience, and shared his game plan — ALL FOR FREE during the first call. Throughout the process, Alex and his team were quick to respond, made sure all the paperwork was submitted on time, and worked efficiently to get the divorce finalized quickly. I highly recommend Alex to anyone without hesitation.

I hired Alex to help me divorce my spouse. Unlike others, he listened to my story with respect which I appreciated. He was very knowledgeable regarding the matter and explained things very clearly. He helped bring a settlement that made this process quick, easy, at low cost, and convenient for bot...h parties involved. I was surprised at how quick this process was. I would definitely hire Alex again.
