Tenacious, Intelligent, Compassionate Attorney

Alexandra was an amazing advocate on my behalf. She handled my divorce with great professionalism, expertise and compassion. She sensitively discussed my options and made me feel like I was in the highly capable hands of a trusted friend. All of my questions were answered, and my phone calls and emai...ls were responded to promptly. Alexandra was very conscientious about costs, and I felt her billing was always appropriate. I never had a moment of doubt that I was working with the right attorney

Amazing, wonderful, ass-saving representation

Alexandra was one of the few attorneys who personally took my frantic call on an urgent matter last week, rather than handing me off to a staffer. She gave immediate, concrete advice, formulated a plan, and then she and her staff set about putting that plan into action right away. Not only was he...r advice quick, it was correct. We have just found out that the ridiculous—but very serious—problem that had cropped up, has been resolved. Alexandra was able to save our asses in exactly one week. I want to mention that Alexandra and her team also provided us with this assistance during a week when she had suffered a family tragedy. For that especially, I am very grateful. She and her associate, Emily, were also understanding in the face of my attempts to be "helpful," which were probably just annoying. I've had experience with attorneys in various fields, and I have to say, Alexandra is top notch. If you can hire her, do.

I couldn't be happier (unless my ex disappeared)

I can't speak highly enough about Alexandra....u can read other posts and I could tell you ALL of the same things....BUT what I see that was NOT mentioned is how when you hire Alexandra, you get Alexandra! My ex hired what i like to call "the ugly kardashian"..... However majority of the time we we...nt to court, she would send her "minions" to court for her who had no power to make any decisions. They were just useless bodies standing in the courtroom. My ex was not a priority for his attorney. On the days she did like to grace us w/ her scary presence, she would bring in other attorneys from other firms to help her. That is not how Alexandra operates. Alexandra once told me....."you only bring other attorneys with you when you know you can't get the job done yourself." This was the case with the opposing side 9 times out of 10. This did not happen w/ Alexandra! Also, when I interviewed w/ Alexandra, she told me something that has stuck w/ me and I repeat to all of my divorcing friends.....she said " I'd rather you send your child to college than my dogs to the spa". That quote stuck with me and I can tell you, through the 17 month divorce proceedings, she never nickel and dimed me whatsoever. Remember the ugly kardashian I mentioned? Her final bill was DOUBLE what I paid Alexandra.....and to be honest, Alexandra was a tad more expensive per hour than opposing counsel. But that goes to show you, even tho Alexandra charged me a tiny bit more per hour, in the end she saved me tens of thousands of dollars bc of her MORALS and ETHICS. Her morality goes above and beyond what I could have ever hoped for in hiring a divorce attorney. Even though I was never her only case load, I was always shown that I was priority...even in emergent situatuons which she could have easily ignored me on bc they happened during non-business hours and during the weekend. Alexandra will def know who wrote this and if ANYONE would like to speak to me personally, she has my complete permission to give my phone number to whomever. She literally saved my life and I won't lie, she's fun to talk to as well. Even tho my divorce just settled, the ugly kardashain loves ex partes, so I will never let Alexandra too far out of my sight bc I know she's on my side and she has my back. And bc of that, I can sleep well at night not having to worry about what is going to happen the next day. She is a lifesaver!!!! And sanity saver too!!! And I hope I didn't make her sound soft in this review....because she's a pit bull in the court room! I hope this review stands out to you and just have a consultation with her and I promise you will get the feeling I got and choose her.

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.

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.
