Tonya is experienced and extremely helpful

Tonya did a fantastic job helping us through a very difficult time. High level of expertise and it felt like she was truly there to help us. She even helped us minimize costs and expedite the process. Her whole team was very responsive and quick to answer questions. I would not hesitate to use her se...rvices again.

Restored my faith in humanity!

Tonya and Cindy helped my ex husband and I come to so many agreements quickly and peacefully. Initially we both hired attorneys for our divorce and things escalated and got messy very fast, stressed and overwhelmed I reached out to a friend who had recently divorced and had great results with mediati...on. He gave me Tonya's information and even after the first consultation with her I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, she listened to our specific needs, gave excellent advice and throughout it all was warm and approachable. The mediation meetings with her helped us to communicate effectively as co parents and kept things respectful and professional while coming to agreements and finding solutions to touchy subjects. She is fully dedicated to helping couples navigate through the painful and often scary process of divorce/separation and come out on the other side with a peaceful resolution. Cindy (Tonyas assistant) was incredibly helpful with correspondence and worked diligently to help us get our parenting plan and divorce agreement wrapped up and signed. I am forever grateful for their communication and help through the entire process and would recommend Tonya to anyone who is searching for a mediator. Five stars just does not seem adequate for a rating I want to give her 20!

Excellent support throughout the process

Tonya and Cindy were a huge help in reaching a solution that we both agreed on. I appreciate their lack of favoritism and patience as we submitted the papwerwork. The whole process lasted just a few, somewhat uncomfortable weeks, but that discomfort was eased by working with Alexander Law.

Compassionate and Professional

Working with Tonya and her team was a very positive experience during a hard time in life. Tonya is prompt and 2 steps ahead in each any every one of the many steps it takes to complete the divorce process. She stayed very professional the entire time and responded to the many questions I had in an u...nderstanding and clearly communicated way. It was clear that she not only had my best interests in mind but that of my children as well. Her experience as a mediator shines through in her ability to look at many of the aspects we discussed from multiple angles. Tonya gave me options on how I could help advance the case on my end in an empowering way that also helped cut legal costs. I would recommend Tonya to anyone who is considering some form of collaborative, low conflict divorce.

Collaborative, Confident and Compassionate Attorney

Tonya Alexander came recommended by a mediation attorney as a top-rate collaborative lawyer with the legal skills, knowledge and experience to represent her clients well. This gave me great peace of mind during a most uncertain, distressing time of my life dealing with the financial/retirement insecu...rities that come from being part of a 29-year team to being single and self reliant going forward. Tonya listened, communicated concepts and explained options clearly. She also communicated professionally with my spouse’s attorney to keep things moving along when anything stalled on their end. Tonya represented me well legally, ensuring me a solid financial future. What will stay with me is that throughout the process, she and her knowledgeable, responsive assistant, Cindy, humanized the experience with their warmth and sensitivity to my emotional well being. I can’t speak highly enough of Tonya Alexander and her team!
