Alexander K. Anderson

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!

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

Mr. Anderson was patient, understanding, and very helpful after I contacted him in need of legal services. He listened to me and let me know what my options were. He advised me well and I would hire him again if I needed to. Thank you for a job well done.

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 alcoholism 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.

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.

Alex and his team are one of a kind. I have prior work experience working with lawyers and personal experience hiring a different law firm several years ago, so when I say they are one of a kind- I have seen it firsthand. Alex takes his knowledge, expertise, and litigation skills and utilizes them with his clients in a humane and personable manner. Alex does not make you feel like just another case or a paycheck which I have experienced in the past. Alex actually listens to his clients and with careful considerations gives his clients the "lay of the land" and also provides realistic goals. Alex saw me through an extremely difficult case where my only goal was to keep my child safe. Alex was on board with the goal the whole time and kept my sight on that goal so that I could drown out all the other painful parts of litigation. Not only is Alex compassionate towards his clients, but he is also highly knowledgeable, tough, and prepared if court proceedings are necessary. Abigail Scott was also instrumental in my case, always compassionate and always there to help in any way possible. Alexander Anderson sets himself apart from others by treating his clients like trusted partners and it truly makes a difference.

By chance I met Mr. Anderson and he came as a choice by the public legal system. I lost everything literally but in the end justice prevailed. Mr. Anderson defended me in District Court and Circuit Court over something I never did, said, or ever would. So I write this hoping someone reads it and knows that when everything seems lost there is hope! My story is too long and Mr. Anderson did what I thought was impossible to overcome but he did and so in the end my faith is restored.

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.

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.

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 lawyers 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!

Alex represented me in a recent child support revision case with an ex who has significant resources. The new agreement has helped me bridge a significant income gap between my household and my ex's. Excellent communications and quick to respond to interim conflicts that arose between verbal agreement and final execution of the new agreement. Alex really had my back and over the course of the past few months, I have grown to trust and respect his professionalism, knowledge and ability to concisely translate legal jargon into easily comprehensible explanations.

Alex Anderson was extremely helpful and very experienced when I was in need of a Protective Order. From the beginning, he explained the details clearly about the process and I could count on him to answer every single question I had. His patience, professionalism, and knowledge of the legal process was very impressive. He promptly replied to every message I wrote or left on his voicemail and was very thorough in his replies. His calm demeanor and non-judgmental approach made me feel much more at-ease and confident about every step we took to move forward. He charged a more than reasonable fee for the amount of hard work and effort he put into managing my case. I recommend him whenever I know someone in need of an attorney with his skills and areas of expertise. I will definitely seek his services again if I ever find myself in need of an attorney with his background.

I am an African American male who has 50% shared custodial and legal but I have tie breaking decision making. My ex-wife sole mission has been to overturn that original court decision. We have been in a very litigious custody battle for the past 5 years and I have utilized multiple attorneys and legal services. My ex had decided once again to attempt to change custody through modification (her 3nd time filing for a mod). The previous attorney I utilized informed me that she has changed her practice to handling only appeals. She offered a referral for Alex Anderson to handle my modification. I met with Alex and he was very professional, punctual, and attentive to my description of the events that had transpired over the prior 5 years. During my consultation, Mr. Anderson took notes and at the end, offered sound advice as well as his interpretation of the possible best- and worst-case scenario. I felt very comfortable with the advice he offered although I was not in total agreement. I was thinking with emotion and wanted to go a different way with my case while Alex took the position of wearing the white hat and remaining on the defense. I listened, agreed, and retained his services. He began to work on my case immediately and kept me informed throughout the process. He was very diligent with gathering the necessary information from me and ensured that we were both prepared for court. Prior to court, Mr. Anderson suggested that he speak with my ex-wife’s attorney and try to bring a resolve to the case without entering the courtroom. He was very stern and persuasive and informed her attorney that if they were willing to dismiss the case, we would accept. He also explained that if they moved forward with the case, it would not be wise, and we would press for full custody. Whatever was said in that conversation obviously resonated with my ex and her attorney because the next day, they dismissed the case. Once the case was dismissed, Mr. Anderson returned the remainder of my retainer and told me that if I experienced any other issues, he would gladly represent me again. Mr. Anderson not only advocated for the best interest of my children, he was able to stop my ex from taking me to court for the 8th time. Alex was very knowledgeable about the court system as well as issues pertaining to family law. I would and have referred him to several friends in similar situations and would highly encourage anyone needing legal representation to enlist the services of The Law Firm of Alexander K. Anderson, LLC. Thanks a million Alex for your legal and emotional support! You’re the best!

I came to Alex with a real need to alter my custody arrangement. I knew the process was going to be problematic given the experiences i have had in the past trying to work with the opposing party. From the beginning Alex was up front and set honest, realistic expectations regarding my case. He was extremely responsive and helped me navigate through some difficult communication exchanges that were so instrumental to the success we achieved. During the process we also had to submit the opposing party for a deposition. The questions were well prepared and to the point. It was extremely helpful to our case. I am very pleased with the entire process and the outcome achieved. I strongly recommend Alex to anyone looking to catch a good lawyer on his way up.

I retained Alex for a custody case. Alex helped me win physical custody of my daughter with special needs. I am beyond satisfied with Alex’s service. I find Alex to be incredibly intelligent, very knowledgeable in family law, a strong advocate, and above all, he truly cared about me as a client and really fought for me. Alex was very understanding of my financial situation and worked with me on options. The amount I paid to retain his services was very fair and honestly, that is the best money I have ever spent because he was worth every penny and more. The communication was great because throughout the entire process, Alex kept me informed on everything that was happening, with my case and gave me frequent updates. He was very responsive whenever I needed to reach him with any questions or concerns. Alex genuinely cares about his clients and I highly recommend him. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would.
