Alex Is The Best! Wow Just Amazed!!!

One thing I can say about Alex is that during my one hour consultation, she remember everything of the information I gave her. She’s quick to respond to emails and phone calls. My case was easy and quick. I am very thankful I found her information, very grateful I took a chance with her and very ple...ased with the results. If you need a great lawyer that takes time and dedication to her job to explain all the procedures that will happen to both parties choose her. She’s kind and respectful woman, very professional in her job. Will totally recommend her.

Realistic and Honest

Alex was an awesome attorney for my custody case. She was very realistic on what could be achieved and didn't give me the runaround just to drive up my bill. She gave me the best case scenario, what would most likeley happen, and worst case scenario. She was quick to answer my emails and phone calls... and had no problem explaining what was going on with my case. She also took the time to listen to my concerns and frustration.

I am a dad to my daughter who sleeps in the room next to me EVERY night thanks to Alex

I got a summons to show up to court to get the child support raised as my daughter lived with her mother, BUT in an insane turn of events, thanks to Alex not only did I end up with FULL CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTER, the mother paid for a great deal of the fees. Yes, you read right, with my hand raised to... the lord, if it wasn’t for Alex, I’d be watering dollar bills in the ground right now. I live outside of state and she took on my case on, Alex took care of just about everything, so much so, that at times I’d forget I was going through rough times in my life. On my flight back home from Chicago, as my daughter slept in the seat next to me, I looked at her, and I asked myself in my head, did that just happened, yes, yes it did, and I pictured Alex giving me a thumbs up with her smile. YOU can have this moment too. Alex reminded me of one of those hard hitting movie lawyers as I watched her work her magic in court. It was great to see her transform and turn up the heat in the court room. She was a great listener and suggested realistic, yet outside of the box approaches, most importantly kept transparency with me at all times. Just give her a call and you will immediately hear and feel what I am trying to convey here. If you want to feel protected and in SAFE hands, with a STRONG legal back bone as you walk in the courtroom, HIRE Alex! If you’re just looking for some random lawyer to keep you company in misery, then keep clicking.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have worked with Alex for a year, but have known her for several years. She is a very bright woman and she cares deeply for each case she is involved in and gives 110% to each one. She is very thorough with her trial preparation and it shows in court because she is organized and articulate. Alex is patient with client and takes her time in explaining their options to them and making sure they are well informed each step of the way. She has excellent communication skills and demonstrates this by her interactions with clients and other attorneys. She always is prepared for her meetings and court and ensures that all the information needed is obtained prior to a hearing, resulting in a better chance of a better outcome. She has a great relationship with other attorneys as she is respectful to all, but still a fierce advocate for her clients."
