Outstanding

I am an attorney. I was referred to Alexandra McIntosh by a colleague. The representation I received was A+. My case did not have an issue that was not litigated. Each individual issue was strategized appropriately, but was strategized for a maximum optimal outcome. Regarding each issue, she be...gan with what issues we may be able to come to an agreement, or what were out weakest positions. Alexandra tried to solve those issues by agreement. In the end, the other side refused to agree to anything. In the end, I prevailed on each issue. She was well versed on every issue. Her litigation strategy was exactly what it should have been and in the end, I prevailed on every single issue. In fact, in some cases, when presented with the worst outcome and the best outcome scenario, we prevailed on the best outcome scenario. Even though I am an attorney, when going through the process, I was a client. Is she tough. Yes. Is she straight forward. Yes. Was it expensive. That is relative. The cost was significantly less than I would have ever expected because each and every move that was made was strategic and necessary. Alexandra is a lawyers lawyer and you cannot and will not got wrong with her representation

Got me custody of my son

Against all odds, and against an aggressive other party, got me full custody of my son. This saved his life. You are foolish to hire anyone else. Did it cost a lot. Yes, but was reasonable in comparison to other quotes I had. Was reasonable in comparison to prior attorneys I had.

Tough & Fair

Alexandra was not my first lawyer. Unfortunately, I didn't find her sooner. She took a complicated drawn out matter and got it resolved in a way that it should have been resolved long before. She was tough, but fair.

Alexandra is the BEST!

Alexandra first and foremost genuinely cares for her clients. She is honest, competent and will always do what is in their best interests. My case was one of the most noteworthy in San Diego in the past 20 years and she prevailed over a worthless SOB attorney who only cared about his wallet. Kicke...d his ASS! The truth ALWAYS comes out and justice will be served if you retain Ms. McIntosh!!

She Saves My Son's Life

I had been to hell and back in a custody dispute over my son. I had a previous lawyer that used up my retainer doing nothing. Finding Alexandra was a miracle. She got me primary custody when everything seems against the odds. Was she mean? No. Did she give me GREAT advise? Yes. There were tim...es I was an emotional wreck and she had to be firm. She was right to do so. I am average middle class. She worked with me on my bill and allowed me to make payments, etc. I can't say enough about how amazing a human being she truly is. Thank you so much for saving my son's life and giving me piece of mind.
