Most Amazing Attorney!

Alexandra Lavinsky is amazing. I highly recommend her. She stayed close by my side throughout a very difficult divorce where my spouse was hiding assets and playing the deadbeat game. She was amazing and was able to win at trial (5 day long-cause trial) on every aspect. She is fierce and a very stron...g woman and can handle anything. She is extremely efficient and won't waste your time or money. With two small children and my life in her hands, she was able to get me more than what I expected at trial. She is hands down the best attorney.

Thank you, Alexandra and Wanda!

I have experienced a number of issues in regard to my divorce, most of which I have tried to manage on my own. The most recent issue though (responsibility & process for removal of a lien after settlement of debt after divorce), was beyond me, as the court provided no guidance, and I could not find a... clear answer online. I found Alexandra through Avvo and sent an e-mail. Wanda, her paralegal, responded to me in about 30 minutes (!), and was incredibly helpful and friendly in setting things up and keeping me informed. As I only needed a specific question answered, a short phone consult was arranged. Just 48 hours after locating Alexandra on Avvo, I was on the phone with her. I reviewed my situation and asked my question, and she had an immediate answer and guidance. Alexandra listens very well (a rare quality), so even if one doesn't frame the situation perfectly, she can distill the essence immediately and accurately. She has obvious command of the law and process, as her answer was definite and crystal clear. I really appreciate that she saw where I was coming from and respected that. Alexandra is down to earth, to the point, and comes across not only as a seasoned professional, but as a balanced and decent human being. I highly recommend her.

Alexandra is a superstar.

After four years and many delays (and $69,000.00 in fees) on my family law case with my previous lawyer, I decided to change my attorney. Alexandra came highly recommended from top notch forensic accountant Patrick Green. Hiring her was the best decision I could have possibly made. Within a singl...e meeting with my ex we were able to settle the case. Alexandra is intelligent, assertive and wants to win without picking your pocket. My only wish is that I found her earlier. I highly recommend her.

Great advice when I needed it the most.

I wanted to represent myself for my divorce for financial reasons but had no idea how to go about the process. I learned that finding an attorney to help me on limited scope basis would be beneficial for a positive outcome. After contacting several attorneys to discuss advising me on how to go about ...the divorce process, I found out quickly that most wanted large retainers or costly consultation fees to even begin to help me. Fortunately for me, Alexandra was referred by a friend. After contacting Alexandra and explaining my situation, she invited me to come in for a consultation at which time she listened to my concerns and advised me on how to proceed with the divorce. She really made me feel at ease and offered the advice I so desperately needed at the time. Alexandra also informed me that I did not need to retain her and that I could do this on my own and if questions arose along the way, she could answer them for me. All I can say is that after leaving her office, I felt very relieved and confident that I could do this on my own. My divorce is now final and thanks to Alexandra’s advice, the outcome was positive and I was able to do so without putting myself in severe debt and I can now move forward with my life. I would encourage anyone needing a family law attorney to get in touch with Alexandra, you will be glad you did.

Excellent Representation!

As a certified paralegal, I am accustomed to helping others in the legal arena, but when it came to helping myself through one of the most difficult times of my life- I was afraid, overwhelmed, felt alone and helpless. A long time friend highly recommended Alexandra. Alexandra immediately greeted me ...with warmth and professionalism. I felt comfortable to openly discuss all issues. She listened attentively and put my mind at ease with her depth of knowledge and expertise. She was my advocate, she got to know me at a personal level and as a client in your darkest hour, it's a great feeling to know that your advocate "gets you," is strong, understands your individual situation(s), and will fight for you.
