Highly recommend!!!

My experience with being represented by Alexandra has been nothing but exemplorary!! I feel that she represented me to the best of her ability based on the laws/guidelines that are in place regarding a divorce. She was always looking out for my best interest and kept the opposing party from reciev...ing an unfair settlement! She was also very affordable considering the opposing party paid five times more then what my total fees ended up being!

Great lawyer, very conscientious!

Alex did an excellent job with a difficult divorce. I would highly recommend her to people in difficult situations. She was timely with all billing, phone calls, letters and keeping me informed. She was patient and worked hard for my interests.Ch

Very Good

I used Alexandra for a child custody case. She did sell her self well and everything i said i wanted she said she would work for. At the same time she also told me some things that were not realistic. She is hard to get ahold of sometimes and we would often meet right before court i have found out du...ring the process and talking to many others that that is typically how it is. I was able to reach an agreement that i felt comfortable with and have not had to go back to court. she was very supportive and i would highly recommend her. At the same time after reading some of these other reviews people have to be realistic about what they ask for and realize that an attorney with this kind of experience typically knows what the judge will and will not go for and trust their guidance.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have read a few reviews noted in "client" review section and am quite surprised. I have practiced with and against Alex for well over 10 years. I have referred her in excess of 30 clients, all of whom were very pleased. This is a spectacular attorney--she fights hard for her clients, knows the ins and outs of Family and Divorce law and is extremely well respected by peers (and judges) in the legal community. Strongly recommend this attorney."
