Posted by Tiffany Scott | February 15, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Abuse

He doesnt work for the reunification of families he works to keep children away from their families.

Do not let him represent you if it's a case involving dcf he will feed you to them so he can line his pockets.

Superb Attorney

As my legal counsel, Attorney Alex Nesson (Alex) fought fervently for my rights. Alex remained professional and gracious as he diligently threaded through murky waters with me. Alex articulated his goals and thoughts with my sensitive case very well, following through with his approach and plans eve...ry time. Alex and his team treated me with dignity and care through a delicate ordeal. I am happy that I switched representation just in time and proud to have had Alex to represent my case. I will refer others to him and seek his expertise again in the future. From one hard working folk to another, I HIGHLY recommend Alex for your litigation or representation needs. He is firm, fair, and transparent - Outstanding!!!

Out of state customer

I secured the legal services from Alex! I was a little apprehensive initially without any type of referral and just going based off of his top ratings and reviews online, but this time, the ratings & reviews proved to be a win! I retained Alex, and I am totally and completely satisfied and if needed... I would retain his services again! Alex is a true professional! He is courteous, respectful, and very knowledgeable! He was beyond impressive in court and also reasonable! 5 Thumbs up Alex! Thank You Again !!

Past and present

Attorney Nesson was an excellent attorney who went out of his way to get everything he needed for my case. He represented me about 12 years ago and I currently just went to ask his legal advise on another situation I am currently going through. I still had his number in my phone because I was really ...happy with his past services.

Hi, Thank you for nice words. It is always good to see former clients although I know when people come back to my office it is not for happy occasions. I was glad to represent you and glad outcome went well.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
