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.

Highly recommend Alex!!

From day one Alex made me feel so confident and safe! She was so knowledgeable and kept me informed with every single thing in my case. I was dealing with a very hard divorce but she fought for me and my children until the end! I couldn’t have done it without her! She is hands down the best divorce a...ttorney in Houston!!!

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.

A lawyer passionate about her work

I greatly appreciate Alexandria patience with me and my concerns. I explained to Alex that I wanted to protect my finances, property, and the interest of my child. Also, that my ex doesn’t plan to contest, however my anxiety was on high thinking he would fight me. Alexandria assured me that she was r...eady for a fight, she explained in detail what could and could not take place. Alex stayed in touch with me, kept me informed on all details of my divorce to the very end. My divorce ended well, and Alexandria protected my finances, property, and the interest of my child. Yes, I would Highly Recommend Alexandria, Thank you, Alexandria & Skillern Firm,

High conflict custody case win for father

When Alex joined my custody case within the Skillern law firm, she was thrown into an extremely high conflict case with all sorts of the worst issues and allegations that can be thrown around when the going gets tough i.e. alleged rape of a child, CPS allegations at your door, abuse allegations durin...g a home study, etc. Not once did Alex suggest we bow to the intimidation tactics of the other party. She was knowledgeable and assertive and encouraged me to stay the course. In the end, I went from standard non-primary to primary custodial parent. I was told by EVERYONE this would be impossible and to basically just be happy with extended standard possession. I refused to listen and Alex was willing to fight for me and my child. She looks and sounds young and to another lawyer, she may not seem like a threat initially but she should not be underestimated as she has bull dog tenacity and when the other party or party's lawyer tries their hand at a power play they are not entitled to, Alex will absolutely be the first one to shut them down. She was not arrogant and was always willing to listen. Additionally, Alex made sure that the signed custody agreement stated I would get any child support overages I had paid sent back to me. When the other party tried not to pay, Alex stayed on top of calling the OAG Child Support office and sending them whatever paperwork or information they needed and I was able to get over $4,000 paid back to me. Even one of the employees in the Child Support office said she never saw that actually happen before. It's unfortunate, but that's how the system works unless you have someone with chess-like skills who is willing to put in the time and effort. Alex showed the system that dads are just as important as moms and my family is grateful for her guidance and efforts.
