Custody changes

Alexandra Michelson and her team are absolutely extraordinary. I needed to get full custody of my kids because my exhusband was no longer able to safely have our kids. Obviously this is a heartbreaking and stressful thing for my whole family. Alexandra was thorough, informed, empathetic and timely. S...he and her team clearly know the system and what needed to happen. It is so tough to navigate the system and know what needed to happen when. I always felt heard and knew that Alexandra was going to be fair and firm. It was such a relief to finally have a team of people that were on our side and were fighting for my kids. I was able to ask the questions I needed and gratefully I was granted full custody. The entire team was timely and organized, thoughtful and efficient. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

Responsive and delivered results, Highly Recommend.

Alexandra L. Michelson is a fantastic divorce and family law attorney. From our first initial consultation she explained everything in terms that I could easily understand, and she was able to anticipate situations in advance based on my circumstances. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a command... for effective communication, both written and verbal. She was extremely responsive when I had questions on my case, and she was sensitive to my needs. She gave my case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. I highly recommend Alexandra L. Michelson and her firm. Professional, efficient, personable…Great Experience overall!

Trusted Attorney

I had worked with other attorneys before, so had a good point of comparison. Alexandra stood out from the initial consultation as a person who cared and would provide trusted advice to settle my case in a timely manner and that would not increase conflict. Her communication and attention to detail w...ere excellent throughout. She seems to have a great reputation in the family law community which helps move matters along and resolve impasses. The expert she recommended was excellent. Her firm and other staff were great to work with. They have an ethical practice with a good overall process and it was a breath of fresh air.

Fabulous experience

After working with a mediator and getting nowhere, I hired Alexandra Connell. Alexandra took the time to fully learn every aspect of my case. She was thorough and very knowledgeable. Alexandra was forward at pressing other attorney when needed. She responded to every request I made in an incredibly ...timely manner. I felt totally supported as Alexandra worked to resolve my case. She made me aware of every item as it came up, working with me to be sure I understood every side. The outcome was better and faster than I expected! I am definitely happy I had (and still have) Alexandra on my side!
