Very Helpful and Knowledgeable

Alex was able to quickly assess my case and provide very pragmatic advice on the best path forward and clearly outlined the pros and cons of each option available. Very responsive to questions and excellent at representing my position in the hearings. I would highly recommend him to anyone without ...any hesitation

a very reliable attorney

Alex is an easy to communicate attorney. He has very solid legal knowledge. I hired him for my divorce case involved child custody and property. His advice is clear and professional. His advice is not always the one you'd like to hear, but you know it's in your best interest. He runs his law firm but... he does not work just for money. I think he believes justice and he has compassion for his clients.

Excellent

I spoke with many attorneys before approaching Mr. Alexander Anderson. Cases of Divorce and/or custody are issues of compassion. Mr. Anderson heard my case, reviewed the various complexities of this case, involving custody of a minor child. Mr. Anderson was compassionate and caring about my case. ...He gave me a brief assessment and the possible outcome of this case. Given my financial hardships, Mr. Anderson worked out a cost that was very very fair. He is very reasonable with his charges and updates you with every penny spent. During the last 6 months he prepared my case diligently and methodically. Mr Anderson, on court date armed with backup documents and evidences, skillfully presented our case for divorce. His knowledge of the law and familiarity of every detail of my case was was beautifully explained to the judge. The judge granted me absolute divorce and complete custody of my daughter with many commendations. The person who deserved the honor was Mr. Anderson. It was the happiest moment in my life. Mr. Alexander Anderson is a very skilled lawyer. I personally, highly recommend him and his firm.

Excellent Lawyer - Highly Recommended

Mr. Alex Anderson was very professional, gave proper guidance, affordable, responsive, and stayed honest in terms of finance throughout the divorce process. He didn't charge penny extra and stayed on stop of things from the very beginning of the divorce process. I have heard many horror stories of la...wyers only concerned about billing as many hours as possible and not really looking out for the best interest of their clients. I can honestly say Alex was just the opposite and would highly recommend him to anyone without any hesitation. He advised me on my legal rights and the best ways to go about the process. He was always available when I needed him and always kept me informed. He didn't spend pointless time on the case in order to run-up the price and billable hours. Every month I received an invoice on exactly what I was being charged for. He was very active with the case, provided quick response to my questions via email, phone calls, or in-person meeting. He is available for his clients to provide best service possible. Made the divorce process very easy and stress-free. Mr. Anderson is very knowledgeable and friendly, don't cut yourself short. Get a lawyer. Get Mr. Alexander Anderson, you will not be disappointed!

Need a Caring & Professional Lawyer? You Need Mr. Anderson!

You will not be disappointed with his service. Mr. Anderson was one of four lawyers I talked to and he was the most professional and caring. He listened to my issues first involving my divorce before just putting a price tag on my case. I told him what I wanted out of the process and he advised me o...n my legal rights and the best ways to go about the process. I was against getting a lawyer but so thankful I did. He was always available when I needed him and always kept me informed. He didn't spend pointless time on the case in order to runup the price and billable hours. Every month I received an invoice on exactly what I was being charged for. He was instrumental during my mediation session with my now ex-husband and ensured everything was fair. The case didn't drag out for months and months. Mr. Anderson made sure to stay on top of my ex-husbands lawyer so we could come to agreements to avoid a 2-3 day divorce trial. Thankfully we settled everything in mediation and was only in court for 15 minutes. I felt at ease working with Mr. Anderson and will definitely use him again for any of my family needs. I highly recommend Mr. Anderson. You may not think you can afford him but he will definitely work with you on a payment plan. Don't cut yourself short. Get a lawyer. Get Mr. Anderson.

"Alex is a skilled, compassionate attorney who has the experience to resolve tough cases. He works hard to successfully represent his clients through the difficult and personal issues that come up during a divorce/custody matter."

Alimony lawyer | Jul 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Alex is no doubt one of the best in our area. We had a case together that lasted nearly two years and included every possible battle including discovery, exceptions, trial, an appeal before the Court of Special Appeals, motions for earnings withholding, and even contempt. At every battle, Alex was prepared to fight hard, but always fought fair. He represented his client pro bono through the entire process which serves as a further testament of his character. He must have spent over 100 pro bono hours in that case. A great member of our Montgomery County bar. Not many like him."

"I have known Alex Anderson since 2013. Alex is a friend and professional colleague whom I highly respect and admire. Alex is a highly skilled and well-practiced family law attorney. We regularly communicate and it is clear that Alex is an attentive, detail oriented, and aggressive advocate. Alex is the type of lawyer who always takes care to address the various needs of all of his clients. Litigation of any kind, but particularly family law litigation, can be an emotionally draining experience for the clients. Alex is adept at accounting for the clients’ sentiments while not skipping a beat in zealously advocating for his clients every step of the way."
