No issues - no complaints - meet our needs
Alex helped with my daughters custody hearings. At times would be unresponsive but in general when we needed him, he was there and had some good insight. Billing was as expected with no surprises. Would certainly go back to Alex in this situation and likely if needed in other scenario's.
Alexander M Nesson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have often encountered Attorney Nesson in court over the years. He is a passionate and skilled advocate for his clients. Alex deals with his fellow attorneys in a professional and cordial manner while forcefully asserting his client's position. Alex is on the short list of lawyers to whom I refer cases when my clients need a divorce or custody matter in Plymouth, Bristol, or Norfolk counties."
"I have practiced with Alex for over fifteen years. His passion for protecting families is well known throughout the juvenile court system. He is a great litigator and goes above and beyond to protect his clients' rights. If you need a lawyer in a child custody matters, Alex is the attorney you can depend on."
