Deeply Disappointed in Child-Safety Advocacy
It pains me to write this because I initially liked Alex and wanted to believe he would conduct a complete, child-focused review while representing my children’s best interests. However, based on my experience, I do not believe that occurred. In my case, he supported a position that would allow...

Replied last May 22, 2026Christian - I wanted to provide some context and address your concern. As you know I did not represent you, I was appointed by the Court to represent your children during your ongoing custody litigation. I am fortunate that, due to my training and years of experience, the Court trusts my professionalism to represent children in high conflict custody cases. When I am appointed to represent children, my role is to look out for the best interests of the children, even if their parents are unable to set aside their differences to do so. As you know, I conducted an investigation that included reviewing every document that you provided me, meeting with both parents, meeting with the children (my clients) multiple times, visiting both parents homes, speaking with school officials, reviewing hundreds of pages of transcripts, and other similar work. I even sought a continuance of the trial to allow further time to ensure that I thoroughly investigated all the identified concerns, including those that you raised in your review. Ultimately, through that investigation, and review of the documents that you yourself provided, it became evident that you had previously raised your concerns in your custody case, and ultimately, three different judges have disagreed with your interpretation of the facts. While I understand that when I am appointed in this role ultimately one, if not both, of the parents are likely to disagree with my advocacy, my only motivation is doing right by my clients, which in this case are your children. I understand that as a father you feel that leaving this review is necessary because I did not advocate for what you wanted me to. While I disagree with your review, and the reasons you are leaving it, I ultimately respect your right to do so. All I hope for is peace, joy, and prosperity for your children and their family. - Alex
Alexander K. Anderson's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"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 endorse this lawyer. Alexander is a strong advocate for his domestic relations clients and is very knowledgeable in this area of the law."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Alex and also consulting him on domestic and family law matters. He is a good communicator and a hard worker. You can trust him to have your best interests at heart and handle your case with skill and professionalism."
"I endorse this lawyer. Alex is a very skilled and professional attorney who zealously advocates for his clients to achieve the best results for them as possible."
"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."
