Sword and Shield

When I started the process of my divorce, I had no idea how ugly my former partner could be. When they started to go out of their way to hurt me, it was almost more than I could bear. I remember all of my worries melting away after speaking with Coby Boswell. He said he was now my sword and shield. I... knew I could trust him and that he would do whatever it took to keep me safe. Mr. Boswell was consistent and professional and I appreciate everything he did for me.

Child Custody Case

Coby Boswell was excellent from day one. Prior to going to court everything that needed to be taken care of was done in a fast and timely manner, he was very professional and handled my case with ease. He’s also very good at conflict resolution and getting work done quickly so props to him and his te...am. I would definitely recommend him to anyone going through child custody battles.

Excellent Attorney, gives sound advice and gets results!

NXTSTEP is nothing short of amazing! I consulted with Kris years ago when she was at another firm and when I learned she’d opened her own, followed her. You couldn’t find a better team to work with. To date, Kris and Coby have handled 2 of my custody modifications. And the last was so expertly worded... by Coby and Cheryl, it’s saved me a visit to court for another mod (at least it won’t be initiated by me). This team knows our judges. Knows the right experts. And is highly regarded in their community. You can’t go wrong.

Hands down the best lawyer around

Very quickly into my consultation, I knew that Coby was the lawyer for me. He was direct, honest and prepared me for what to expect instead of just telling me what I wanted to hear. He came to the consultation fully educated on my case and was ALWAYS impressively prepared for every step along the way.... He and his paralegal, Cheryl, went above and beyond. They made a miserable situation bearable. I would hire him again and recommend him in a heartbeat.

Paid Coby to make it worse!

My husband and I went to Coby when his exwife sued for an increase in child support. We should have walked out of the initial consultation when he said our 6 year old child means absolutely nothing and that only his children from his previous marriage are recognized by family court as his financial r...esponsibility. Not only did he bill us almost 5k, he negotiated terribly, allowed my husband to be intimidated and taken advantage of, and we ended up owing my husband's exwife over 4k more than the amount she wanted. Our monthly child support almost doubled with an additional 18k owed to her after her younger child turns 19. She even gets half of our tax refunds! $23,000 later we regret ever going to him. We could have saved so much by not using Coby. Meanwhile, since this attorney's terrible representation, my husband's exwife has now bought her second house (additional rental income for her thanks to extra money she gets from us), she owns a side business, has a masters degree, and works in healthcare. She vacations 3 time a year and is critical that we cannot afford extra rooms in our home dedicated for her children when they have visitation. We can't even afford our monthly bills let alone pay for extra rooms. Coby's services were absolutely useless and it seems that he wasn't on our side from the start. We are still suffering from the outcome of his apathetic, subpar representation and we we'll suffer for years to come. Yes, I'm venting here because Coby obviosly didn't care and didn't help. If you don't want to be in our position, don't use him. We would have been better off negotiating on our own. Please, if your a man in my husband's position be smart, handle it out of court. And if you must have legal representation avoid this attorney.

I am very sorry that you feel your experience with me two years ago at my old firm was not a good experience. I take client reviews very seriously and this is the first time that I have become aware that there was an issue with your case or the resolution of the same. If you would like to contact me directly, I will be happy to discuss your experience with me. I appreciate and thank you for your business.
