THE BEST OF THE BEST

Truthfully, I am astounded, Alex is by far the absolute BEST attorney you could ever ask for. I'm not just saying this because of how my case turned out but because she truthfully is the best of the best. She is extremely fast at replies to guide you through situations even on holidays and after hour...s as well as if she hasn't heard from you in a while. That alone says enough BUT is not all by far. She is also very quick and extremely diligent in making sure that everything needed to come to a resolution, whether court or settling is done for the absolutely best possible outcome for you. She is also extremely honest and will tell you where she feels going route a or route b will get you and knows when to act. That being said, my own personal case was different and absolutely difficult from day one to proceed and handle. There were many times of feeling defeated and that I might never get my child out of an extremely harmful situation. Despite this she kept my head up and continued to push me every single day to move forward. It was clear she wasn't by any means in it for the money, but she was all in for helping my child and doing what was best for him to ensure his success in life regardless of the walls that were placed in front of us. When I say my case was a long shot and it took me putting my entire faith into my attorney, I mean it, she fought to the very end and I ended up with custody. She doesn't mess around or take your money, she truly is out there to handle WHATEVER the situation may be and beyond. To this day I still have problems and she is more than happy to respond and reach out to help me through as well as make sure that my child is doing well and being successful. That is what sets Alex apart, she's not just your attorney and then never hear from them again, she's someone who genuinely cares and wants to help to maintain what is best in the end. I assure you, you can't go wrong with Alex as your attorney and if you pass her up then you've missed out on the best of the best.

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!
