Posted by Tina | June 01, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Amazing integrity and service!

I contacted Mr. French, via an online search, for a consultation involving custody issues. Upon completion of consult I chose to hire him for my custody needs. I am happy to say that Mr. French not only resolved the matter in my favor, but did so in a very timely manner. He answered all my questions ...as best he could without misleading us in any way. Alex did not treat our matter like any other but was specific and thorough. Mr. French answered everytime I called with questions, even after hours. I would gladly recommend Mr. French and his team for anyone! Thank you Alex for all you did for my family!!

Family lawyer | Nov 18

Relationship: Co-worker

"Alex is an incredible attorney and teacher. I have been fortunate enough to observe many of his consults with potential clients and learn from his exceptional advocacy skills. He cares deeply about his clients, and tailors his approach to what each client needs. If you need an attorney that is aggressive and persistent, he has no problem following through. However, if you prefer to resolve your case without litigation, he is more than capable of showing his more easy-going side to work with the opposing party to reach a settlement that works for everyone."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
