Great attorney. Great outcome.

Alex is an extremely knowledgeable family law attorney whose services are worth every penny for the mass amount of work he puts into a case. He was highly recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't have been given a better recommendation. Time is something a person can't get back and the possibilit...y of losing any amount of time with my child was terrifying. With Alex's representation and expertise I was able to secure fifty-fifty parenting time which is monumental. Had I represented myself I don't imagine the same outcome would've been achieved since the opposing party already had an attorney. Custody cases are time consuming, complicated, and require knowledge that most people don't possess. Alex had the answers to my questions (which were plenty) and let me know what was and wasn't important in my case. He's very fair and keeps a level head, which helped me feel more calm and confident than I had before hiring him. To anyone going through the stress and confusion that come with a custody case, don't hesitate to at least consult with Alex. He has the knowledge required, he'll put in thorough work and I can't recommend him enough.

Look no further

Mr. Jones was everything you could ask for in family law representation. He handled my case in the middle of covid which family law in its self is hard enough but with that on top of that he did an outstanding job. He answered every question I had easily came up with a game plan that suited my situat...ion. And walked me though every step of the way. When I first went to Mr. Jones being a father when it comes to the courts I was incredibly worried. I ended my case With paying a reasonable amount for incredible service. I plan to refer anyone I can to his office and use his services again if needed. -So if you are reading this in need of representation look no further retain the legal services of the Law office of Alexander M Jones.

Amazing attorney must hire

I would recommend him to anyone who is searching for an honest attorney who works hard for you. Before Mr Jones took my case, my divorce and custody battle was going for over a year and cost me over $20,000 and I was losing the fight. My old attorneys were dishonest and charging me for everything the...y could. Alexander Jones was very up front and honest from the start and set my expectations. He was true to everything he said and had my divorce resolved in under 3 weeks and was extremely affordable and honest with the Billings. ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY GIVE HIM A CALL. He works hard and fights for you!

Calming and Supportive

Alex handled my divorce, following 14 years of marriage and including custody issues of two children. He did an excellent job of communicating with me concerning my case and ensuring I made good decisions, based on logic and reason, rather than emotion. He was a calming voice in a time of turmoil. ... And, he was less expensive than many of the other attorneys in town. While I can't recommend divorce, if you need to seek a divorce, I highly recommend you let Alex handle it for you.

Alexander Jones is a good choice for difficult family law issues

I retained Mr. Jones to represent me in a case where my ex-husband wanted full custody of our kids, when I have had full custody the last nine years. My ex was very difficult to work with and wouldn't mediate to try and resolve our issues. Mr. Jones won three different issues in my case and my ex w...ho had counsel, won none. When it came time to negotiate the final parenting plan our go to court, Mr. Jones negotiated and I was able to keep sole custody of my kids with giving my ex one extra day a week. I am satisfied with the outcome and I don't think it would have gone as smoothly if it wasn't for Mr. Jones. He is affordable, he is to the point, he clearly explains things and overall is a very nice person. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you in you family law case, I would highly recommend Mr. Jones.
