A true advocate and champion

I was so fortunate to be assigned Alex as the associate in my divorce case and cannot begin to express my gratitude for her exceptional competence, professionalism, and compassion in one of the most difficult and confusing times of my life--and as the second lawyer on my case. After experiencing what... can only be described as a complete fiasco with my previous, local lawyer in my temporary orders hearing and the lead-up to it, Alex and Skillern Firm confidently took over my case--from over 250 miles away--and were true advocates, who mapped out a clear plan and walked me all the way through it with excellent, prompt communication, explaining every step clearly and kindly. Alex never took for granted how high the stakes were for me and my children legally, emotionally, and financially and showed great care and precision in every action--and always compassion to me. She is and was a true champion and really believed in me! She is acutely aware of traps and snares in the dark forest of divorce, but she prevails because she is the smartest, the cleverest, and the most persistent. She dug me out of a hopeless hole and turned my case around. Thank you so much, Alex! I hope I never need these services again, but would not hesitate to hire Alex again if I did or recommend to friends and family.

Excellent attorney!!

I highly recommend Alex Gwyn Foster as a divorce/family attorney. My divorce was quite a bit more contested than I anticipated, and Alex was there for me every step of the way. If there was an issue, I always got a timely response. Alex was always willing to explain things I did not understand, and s...he was very thorough when doing so. Much of the contention revolved around my children, and I always knew that Alex and the rest of the team at Skillern Law were fighting fervently for my children's best interest. About 6 months after my divorce was final, I encountered a new issue and had to file a modification. Without hesitation, I went back to Alex to handle this issue. I will always be so thankful that I hired Alex to handle my divorce! I can't imagine going through it without her!

Made the most difficult time in my life tolerable

I was referred to Alex Gwyn Foster and to get a initial consultation was a breeze. The receptionist emailed me everything so Mrs. Foster could have an idea of the case and how she could help. On the call with her she asked what my expectations were and also voiced her expert opinion from her experien...ce. I had been stuck in the mediation process and it just felt like the ball will never move but as soon as she stepped in the dates were confirmed and even if I wanted to drag my feet she would get me to focus and stay on target. A divorce is not a fun experience especially when a child is involved but she kept doing what she’s best at and had everything finalized before the year ended. I had another lawyer in San Antonio but being the case was in Houston it was time to get counsel in Harris County. Before I had even sent the retainer she gave a ballpark expense and I’m happy to say not only did she stay on target but it was less than expected. There are lawyers that run the clock to bill and lawyers like Mrs. Foster who has a great moral compass that does not try to squeeze you for every dime. I’m so thankful to have been referred to her. Not only was she my lawyer but at times my therapist as well. Though that can get pricey! Without hesitation I would recommend Mrs. Foster to all I care for and anyone else can inquire about the SA lawyer. I know for a fact that if I didn’t find her then today I would be in the exact same spot I was in a year ago. I was at the mercy of the other parent but now I have that peace of mind knowing when I have my child and what my rights are. After everything was said and done she even advised me on further steps I need to be taking over this year so that I have more days with my child. Call her for a consultation and you can thank me for this review later. She is a great human and when she speaks or emails she treats you as a person rather then just another file on her desk. She is going to achieve greatness in her career and she will fight for you and your child. I don’t have the words to express how much of a difference she made in my life in just three months. Feel free to call other family lawyers but I promise after one conversation with her your decision will be made. From a person who just went through Texas divorce the only advice I can give is have an open mind and be willing to meet somewhere in the middle the rest Mrs. Foster will handle. She truly is my personal saving angel because before her I had zero hope. Thank you from my heart Mrs. Foster. If it wasn’t from your knowledge and dedication for family law I would have been still struggling to see my child. I look forward to working with you once I have completed the tasks which you mentioned. I have so much respect for you and as you achieve more just remember all the dads and moms you have helped so they can spend time with their babies. I wish you so much success, happiness and good health. You’re a rockstar and don’t let anything come in the way of what your values & beliefs are. Thank you again so much. I will never forget where I was when I first came to you and in three months you performed a miracle.
