Made a Heartbreaking Experience Easier

Mr. Brinson helped me so much through my divorce. It was not something I ever thought I would go through, and Mr. Brinson was kind and understanding throughout the process. He answered my questions in a way that helped me understand some complicated things, but never made me feel dumb. I was also in ...contact with Mr. Brinson often because of my many questions and concerns, and he never got impatient with me. He always took the time to talk to me without seeming to rush. I felt like he truly cared about my situation and that he did his best to get me the best outcome possible. I couldn't recommend him any more highly.

Always concerned about his clients

Just wanted to say that Mr. Brinson is a phenomenal lawyer! Through our case he was consistently concerned and focused on the safety of me and my children. Thank you so much, Alex!

Not Impressed-unprofessional

I am disabled and Alex Brinson was assigned to me for divorce on a 30 year marriage from a husband that was controlling and abusive. When Alex told me he was dropping me because couldn't get husband served (even though husband in military) I didn't know what to do so I tried to find him myself (with ...backup assistance of course). When Alex found out he was extremely rude and told me I didn't act like an abused spouse and was a stalker. I cannot believe how rude and unprofessional this attorney was to me. He has no idea what I have been through and how controlling my husband was. I just want a divorce!!! Alex has no clue about military divorces nor what all was required when filing paperwork with the court. Don't expect him to go above and beyond for you or be professional. I don't even know why he works through legal aide if he doesn't plan on providing appropriate services. With his limited knowledge on divorce and rude demeanor I would never recommend him to anyone!

Pleasantly surprised

The whole divorce process is so daunting. I was referred to Mr Brinson by a friend of mine who recently utilized his expertise in her divorce and all I can say is WOW! Mr Brinson was so genuine and honest the whole time and helped me understand the ins and outs of the process. He made everything so ...easy! And while nobody wants to go through a divorce, Alex is the one to reach out to when you have questions. Thank you so much Mr Brinson!!!

Great work!

Mr Brinson was the answer to my prayers. My son had ended up in some serious trouble and we called Alex. He was professional and understanding from the first phone call until he shook our hand after court. He kept me updated and eliminated the worry you have when your child is in trouble. I just kne...w he was going to work hard for my family. He went above and beyond expectations and I would refer him to anybody. Thank you so much Mr. Brinson

"If Alex Brinson is your attorney, you have an excellent attorney. I have worked with Mr. Brinson on a number of cases and have always been impressed with the way he handles himself and his cases. There are attorneys who can be pushed around by the DA or merely "go with the program". Not Alex. He fights hard for his clients, works around the clock and always stands by his clients--even in the toughest of spots. Alex is worth every penny of his fee, and more."

  • 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.
