I hired Alex to help me divorce my spouse. Unlike others, he listened to my story with respect which I appreciated. He was very knowledgeable regarding the matter and explained things very clearly. He helped bring a settlement that made this process quick, easy, at low cost, and convenient for both parties involved. I was surprised at how quick this process was. I would definitely hire Alex again.

It’s been just over a year since I was officially divorced from a very toxic person who made the process far more difficult than necessary. Alex and his team couldn’t have been more helpful, understanding, and compassionate while I was going through this very challenging event with someone who was very aggressively trying to make things as arduous and expensive for me as they could. For anyone going through something so difficult, it’s hard to emphasize the importance of having someone of your side you can trust to be there through the ups and downs. Thank you so much to Alex and the team for everything!

From the first consultation to the conclusion of my divorce, Alex and his team listened to my situation and promised a strategy and commitment that aligned with what I prioritized. He and his team delivered and maintained professionalism and heart. So grateful for his talents. It is immediately recognizable that he is passionate about guiding his client to the best outcome in what is a most difficult, painful and vulnerable time. I recommend him to those who must let go of a painful past and start anew.

Mr. Anderson was Godsent to me during possibly the worse time of my life. I had a highly contentious divorce and custody matter and had to deal with my now ex-husband's very difficult attorney; however, Mr. Anderson's cool, calm and collected personality helped me stay sane during the entire process. From our first meeting, he took time to explain everything to me in terms I could easily understand and him and his staff were always very responsive when I had questions (sometimes even outside of working hours). Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he was highly sensitive to the fact that this case was proving to be a traumatic experience for me. He would always 'checked in' with me and made sure I knew and understood what was happening at all times. I cannot recommend him enough, I’m very grateful I was referred to him.

Alex and his team are one of a kind. I have prior work experience working with lawyers and personal experience hiring a different law firm several years ago, so when I say they are one of a kind- I have seen it firsthand. Alex takes his knowledge, expertise, and litigation skills and utilizes them with his clients in a humane and personable manner. Alex does not make you feel like just another case or a paycheck which I have experienced in the past. Alex actually listens to his clients and with careful considerations gives his clients the "lay of the land" and also provides realistic goals. Alex saw me through an extremely difficult case where my only goal was to keep my child safe. Alex was on board with the goal the whole time and kept my sight on that goal so that I could drown out all the other painful parts of litigation. Not only is Alex compassionate towards his clients, but he is also highly knowledgeable, tough, and prepared if court proceedings are necessary. Abigail Scott was also instrumental in my case, always compassionate and always there to help in any way possible. Alexander Anderson sets himself apart from others by treating his clients like trusted partners and it truly makes a difference.

Alexander Anderson is an Excellent Lawyer who is extremely thorough and provided 5-Star Service with my International custody case. Alex listens to you and cares about his clients is a very ethical attorney which is a rare find today.

Alex and his team did a tremendous job for me and my kids. I got what I asked for both for physical and legal custody including the divorce trial. Alex helped us from the beginning until the end and also any upcoming issues. He cares about me and my kids and made me felt like I was in a good hand. If he sees anything that not benefit me, he will warn me right away. Thank you for all of your help, patience and understanding!

I met Alex shortly after my divorce in an effort to fight for my kid's rights because of a poorly worded agreement. This agreement was signed as part of the initial divorce process when I was working with a different lawyer. I found Alex as a lwyer in our area that could help with appeals. Alex was honest with me since my very first consultation. He patiently explained my options. He didn't overpromise and was very realistic about the outcome. I decided to take my chance and continue the fight. There were several rough moments and drama with my ex-husband throughout this journey. Alex was very responsive and provided great advise on strategies and action items. After several months of logistic war on codes and ways to interpret them between our laywers, complete lock down during the early pandemic, productive brainstorming sessions of bouncing ideas, 2 mediations, and ongoing conversations, we signed a revised agreement that solved lors of issues and works much better for my boys! I am greatful for Alex's professional knowledge, communication skills, care, and energy throughout this process!

Alex was able to quickly assess my case and provide very pragmatic advice on the best path forward and clearly outlined the pros and cons of each option available. Very responsive to questions and excellent at representing my position in the hearings. I would highly recommend him to anyone without any hesitation

Mr. Anderson was patient, understanding, and very helpful after I contacted him in need of legal services. He listened to me and let me know what my options were. He advised me well and I would hire him again if I needed to. Thank you for a job well done.

I retained Alex in January of 2019, after my wife abruptly left and took our then-7 year old daughter with her. The case involved what I later learned is unfortunately all too common in these matters - bad advice to my wife from bad "friends", a restraining order based on exaggerated claims of alcoholism and (verbal) abuse, all strategically sought to get a leg up on divorce, custody, and the financial gain and projected "windfall" that comes with them. As a devoted, present and committed Dad who had been intensely involved in my daughter's life for EVERY day of her life, and with our marital problems being MARITAL and having nothing to do with our child, I was shell-shocked, stunned, surprised, scared, full of anxiety and almost any other emotion you can imagine over the prospect of my child being taken from her father and best friend, and vice versa. Distraught, freshly served by a sheriff, acting pro se and without time for appropriate representation, I reluctantly agreed to a 6-month voluntary order that would severely limit my time with my daughter, including no overnight stays, 20 minute FaceTime calls during the week, one weekly 8 hour visit, and inexplicably required attendance at an abused persons program in addition to substance abuse therapy. I was a man with a successful career and not so much as an active speeding ticket, suddenly feeling worthless and criminal. On my first call to Alex, he displayed an amazingly calm, even-keeled yet realistic demeanor and attitude that remained consistent throughout my ordeal and allowed me to keep calm eyes on the "prize" - 50/50 split and shared custody of my daughter. The six months became a full 17 months, but not without progress and benefit - Alex recommended I go on the offensive and file suit (which I did) while we planned our own strategical "slow and steady" plan to convince therapists, custody evaluators, and eventually a judge that I remained more than a fit, capable and omnipresent Dad. It took a great deal of sacrifice, sleepless nights, tears, venting to Alex and biting of my tongue, but he was always there and guided me through the entire process with frequent and meaningful contact and explanation. While they always came with the appropriate disclaimers, he would also provide candid theories and "predictions" of what would happen next (with incredible accuracy), and we truly moved ahead with the united goal of doing what was right for my daughter. This obviously wasn't the goal on the other side of the courtroom, and it eventually showed. During a full three day custody trial that displayed Alex's strong trial skills in preparation, organization and cross-examination, we presented an amazing pictorial display of my involvement in my child's life, starting literally minutes after she was born. The court heard from a psychologist (and certified expert witness) who testified on my behalf and in my favor after conducting an unbiased DSM-5 exam. It was easily the most integral and important piece of testimony at the trial, and one that Alex suggested, arranged and fought for when my wife's counsel attempted vehemently to keep him off the stand. THAT is why one retains counsel. THAT is what makes the difference between winning and losing a case. There was a delay in the final ruling due to the COVID crisis, but eventually we were able to phone in for a hearing and receive the news I had long awaited and prayed for - 50/50 joint legal and physical custody of my daughter. It wasn't just a win for me, but a win for her, and perhaps a win for all fathers who find themselves on the wrong end of allegations created to separate them from their children. The greatest move I made over the 17 month ordeal, besides becoming baptized and turning my life over to Christ, was calling Alex Anderson. His actions, and those I took at his suggestion and guidance, gave my daughter the voice that courts and custody evaluators do not seem to allow in these cases.

By chance I met Mr. Anderson and he came as a choice by the public legal system. I lost everything literally but in the end justice prevailed. Mr. Anderson defended me in District Court and Circuit Court over something I never did, said, or ever would. So I write this hoping someone reads it and knows that when everything seems lost there is hope! My story is too long and Mr. Anderson did what I thought was impossible to overcome but he did and so in the end my faith is restored.
