Advocating with Your Best Interest In Mind

Alex and the team took over my case in the middle of my divorce. They were thorough, patient, sensitive and understanding to the needs of my family. Alex set realistic expectations, provided sound guidance and kept a positive outlook throughout the case which served us well in achieving a positive outcome. His approach was honest and direct as he advocated on behalf of my family's best interest.

Excellent attorney

Posted by

Alex helped me recoup long overdue child support payments. He was efficient and worked hard to bring this aspect of my post-divorce matter to a close. I was paid the full amount due within 60 days and will always be grateful to him for taking that stressor off my plate. He is smart, knowledgeable and kind - - I highly recommend him.

Divorce

Alex was clear and efficient with my divorce case. He counciled me as to the various approaches/ scenarios and how they most likely would play out. This gave me confidence going into negotiations and a settlement that I was pleased with.

Review of Alex Xanttopoulos

Posted by

Alex Xanttopoulos represented me in a divorce and child custody case. I came to Alex late in the game, meaning I started with another lawyer with a different firm, and needed someone who could reverse a bad situation. Alex came to my rescue and I came out with a settlement I could live with. My only regret is that I did not have Alex representing me from the very beginning. Had he been with me from day 1, I would have been in an even better situation. Alex stood firm and advised me with skill and tact. He treated me with kindness and respect and this means a lot when you are struggling through a difficult situation.

Kabara Praskavich, Child custody Attorney on Jun 8, 2017
Relationship: Co-worker

Alex is one of the best trial lawyers I know. He cares about his clients and settles their cases fairly, when possible. When it's not possible to settle, his court room presence, knowledge of law, and rapport with opposing counsel and the bench all work to his clients' benefit.

Jennifer Bradley, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jun 1, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Alex is a skilled and competent attorney and does an excellent job of representing his clients.

Andrew Tank, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jun 1, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

As an opposing counsel, Alex is a tough customer. He's knowledgeable and effective in all aspects of litigation, whether negotiating a settlement or representing his client in Court. I appreciate his honesty, reasonableness, and professional courtesy, but those qualities never get in the way of pursuing his clients' interests. In summary, I consider Alex to be among the best domestic attorneys in northern Virginia.

Aaron Christoff, Family Attorney on Jun 1, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Alex is a knowledgeable and skilled attorney who handles his cases with professionalism and courtesy.

Caroline Solano

Alex and I have worked together on many contentious, contested family law matters. I look forward to cases with him, as he searches for solutions to problems rather than throwing problems at solutions.

Jennifer Babounakis, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 19, 2017
Relationship: Co-worker

Alex Xanttopoulos and I have worked closely together since 2010 at the same firm. He is an impressive litigator that is comfortable in the courtroom. He also successfully settles cases being able to accurate assess risks and benefits of deal terms. He is attentive to client needs and has strong positive relationships with opposing counsel. He is a hard worker and results driven.
