"Rescinded" the No-Contact-Order!

I went to prison after violating a No-Contact-Order between me and my girlfriend. I got prison time because we cooperated together in violating the no-contact-order a bunch of times!!! We are in love!!! (For your information the whole situation was crazy and blown way out of proportion.) Anyway the... stupid no-contact-order was still in place after I got out of prison! I hired Alex to "rescind" it and make it go away. He was pretty sharp because he got the police reports on all the past violations. He argued to the judge that all the past violations were mutual and I wasn't stalking my girlfriend or hurting her or any other BS. The judge said she usually doesn't dismiss no-contact-orders but she would in this case because it was made clear that even though my probation was revoked I still did lots of jail. My girlfriend showed up and read from a letter Alex helped write. And we won!!!! Alex, thanks a MILLION for persuading the judge to dismiss the no-contact-order between me and my girlfriend.

He Turned My Felonies into Misdemeanors

It was pretty messed up by I got charged with Assault 2 on a guy who was a total jerk. Everyone at the party was drunk and some dude picked a fight with me and I defended myself. I end up in trouble! I missed a court hearing and got in even MORE trouble!!! Hired Alex because his ratings are good and... he was pretty straight up. Alex found out the "victim" had prior convictions and a bad reputation with the prosecutors office. He talked my case over with the prosecutor. Alex gets them to reduce Assault 2 to Assault 4. He gets them to reduce the felony Bail Jumping to misdemeanor Bail Jumping. No felonies! I got some jail time, but Alex worked it again - he got the prosecutor and judge to be okay with electronic home monitoring instead of jail. Hire Alex!

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

I'm transgender and Canadian. I take steroids and testosterone to manage my post-op changes. I got arrested at the border for possessing my testosterone supplements. I forgot my prescriptions!!! I explained myself to the cops, but they cited me anyway. So stupid . . . ! I called Alex the day... before court. My friends in the States told me Alex helps the LGBTQ community. So stressed out. He said, 'no problem, I'll try and get it dismissed.' For FREE. I was happy and hopeful but not optimistic. He said to bring my medical records and prescriptions. The next day was awesome and crazy. Alex shows up. I give him my documents. He whispers to Prosecutor and shows my documents. Next thing you know, my case is dismissed!!!! I try giving him some money for this awesome surprise. He refuses and says, 'No, just spread the word and write a good review for me on Avvo.com" Here's your review, Alexander! THANK YOU!!! :-)

Saved my life

Alex did a great job defending me on my case. I was wrongfully accused by the police of an assault in the 2nd degree. Alex is a great lawyer, he stuck with me from the beginning and for that I admire him. From the start he treated me as a human being, he listened to all of my worries, he promised to ...help me with everything and he kept his words. He knew exactly what he was doing. Alex made the whole situation easier to handle and not as stressful. He kept me up to date on the information. Alex never give up on me, he push and push until my case was dropped He saved my life. Thanks Alex!
