Alexander K. Anderson

I spoke to several lawyers about my divorce, but most of them ended the call after just 10 minutes, saying they had other appointments. I get that time is important, but if they didn’t take the time to fully understand my case, how could I trust them to deliver? Alex was different. He listened to ...everything I had to say, gave me solid advice based on his experience, and shared his game plan — ALL FOR FREE during the first call. Throughout the process, Alex and his team were quick to respond, made sure all the paperwork was submitted on time, and worked efficiently to get the divorce finalized quickly. I highly recommend Alex to anyone without hesitation.

I hired Alex to help me divorce my spouse. Unlike others, he listened to my story with respect which I appreciated. He was very knowledgeable regarding the matter and explained things very clearly. He helped bring a settlement that made this process quick, easy, at low cost, and convenient for bot...h parties involved. I was surprised at how quick this process was. I would definitely hire Alex again.

Mr. Anderson was Godsent to me during possibly the worse time of my life. I had a highly contentious divorce and custody matter and had to deal with my now ex-husband's very difficult attorney; however, Mr. Anderson's cool, calm and collected personality helped me stay sane during the entire process.... From our first meeting, he took time to explain everything to me in terms I could easily understand and him and his staff were always very responsive when I had questions (sometimes even outside of working hours). Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he was highly sensitive to the fact that this case was proving to be a traumatic experience for me. He would always 'checked in' with me and made sure I knew and understood what was happening at all times. I cannot recommend him enough, I’m very grateful I was referred to him.

I met Alex shortly after my divorce in an effort to fight for my kid's rights because of a poorly worded agreement. This agreement was signed as part of the initial divorce process when I was working with a different lawyer. I found Alex as a lwyer in our area that could help with appeals. Alex was ...honest with me since my very first consultation. He patiently explained my options. He didn't overpromise and was very realistic about the outcome. I decided to take my chance and continue the fight. There were several rough moments and drama with my ex-husband throughout this journey. Alex was very responsive and provided great advise on strategies and action items. After several months of logistic war on codes and ways to interpret them between our laywers, complete lock down during the early pandemic, productive brainstorming sessions of bouncing ideas, 2 mediations, and ongoing conversations, we signed a revised agreement that solved lors of issues and works much better for my boys! I am greatful for Alex's professional knowledge, communication skills, care, and energy throughout this process!

I retained Alex in January of 2019, after my wife abruptly left and took our then-7 year old daughter with her. The case involved what I later learned is unfortunately all too common in these matters - bad advice to my wife from bad "friends", a restraining order based on exaggerated claims of alcoh...olism and (verbal) abuse, all strategically sought to get a leg up on divorce, custody, and the financial gain and projected "windfall" that comes with them. As a devoted, present and committed Dad who had been intensely involved in my daughter's life for EVERY day of her life, and with our marital problems being MARITAL and having nothing to do with our child, I was shell-shocked, stunned, surprised, scared, full of anxiety and almost any other emotion you can imagine over the prospect of my child being taken from her father and best friend, and vice versa. Distraught, freshly served by a sheriff, acting pro se and without time for appropriate representation, I reluctantly agreed to a 6-month voluntary order that would severely limit my time with my daughter, including no overnight stays, 20 minute FaceTime calls during the week, one weekly 8 hour visit, and inexplicably required attendance at an abused persons program in addition to substance abuse therapy. I was a man with a successful career and not so much as an active speeding ticket, suddenly feeling worthless and criminal. On my first call to Alex, he displayed an amazingly calm, even-keeled yet realistic demeanor and attitude that remained consistent throughout my ordeal and allowed me to keep calm eyes on the "prize" - 50/50 split and shared custody of my daughter. The six months became a full 17 months, but not without progress and benefit - Alex recommended I go on the offensive and file suit (which I did) while we planned our own strategical "slow and steady" plan to convince therapists, custody evaluators, and eventually a judge that I remained more than a fit, capable and omnipresent Dad. It took a great deal of sacrifice, sleepless nights, tears, venting to Alex and biting of my tongue, but he was always there and guided me through the entire process with frequent and meaningful contact and explanation. While they always came with the appropriate disclaimers, he would also provide candid theories and "predictions" of what would happen next (with incredible accuracy), and we truly moved ahead with the united goal of doing what was right for my daughter. This obviously wasn't the goal on the other side of the courtroom, and it eventually showed. During a full three day custody trial that displayed Alex's strong trial skills in preparation, organization and cross-examination, we presented an amazing pictorial display of my involvement in my child's life, starting literally minutes after she was born. The court heard from a psychologist (and certified expert witness) who testified on my behalf and in my favor after conducting an unbiased DSM-5 exam. It was easily the most integral and important piece of testimony at the trial, and one that Alex suggested, arranged and fought for when my wife's counsel attempted vehemently to keep him off the stand. THAT is why one retains counsel. THAT is what makes the difference between winning and losing a case. There was a delay in the final ruling due to the COVID crisis, but eventually we were able to phone in for a hearing and receive the news I had long awaited and prayed for - 50/50 joint legal and physical custody of my daughter. It wasn't just a win for me, but a win for her, and perhaps a win for all fathers who find themselves on the wrong end of allegations created to separate them from their children. The greatest move I made over the 17 month ordeal, besides becoming baptized and turning my life over to Christ, was calling Alex Anderson. His actions, and those I took at his suggestion and guidance, gave my daughter the voice that courts and custody evaluators do not seem to allow in these cases.
