I strongly recommend finding a different attorney. Alex is a super nice guy, but he is not a very good attorney. It would have been impossible to achieve a worse result then Alex achieved. He continuously demonstrated a lack of interest in the case and was unresponsive and/or distracted. His high price was also a concern given the lack of interest/effort. My gut was screaming at me to replace him through the whole process. I had no choice but to move forward with him despite wanting to find someone else, due to spending most of my time out of the United States. Alex did NOT represent my interests in court. During the trial, Alex seemed unprepared. He was continuously fumbling through his notes like he didn’t know what to ask. The topics that I had asked him to focus on, the previous day, were not even mentioned (by Alex) during the trial (including the many times that my ex-wife broke the previous court order). Some of the questions that Alex asked me during the case made me look bad in front of the judge, as if Alex was also working for opposing party. I am unsure if Alex was intentionally trying to damage my case for if he is really just that bad of an attorney. I strongly believe that this case would have gone differently if I had halfway decent attorney. The Judge consented fully to the position of my ex-wife, considered my position to be “[unreasonable],” and ordered that I pay my ex-wife’s attorney fees ($23,000). Alex’s response was “I am your attorney, not an oracle,” meaning Alex cannot predict court outcomes. How useful is an attorney who can’t predict court outcomes? How useful is a physicist who can predict motion, a meteorologist who can’t predict the weather, or a surgeon who can predict survival rates? If Alex was my surgeon, I would have been dead on the table. Now I only get supervised visitation with my son, as if I am an ex-convict, despite never actually doing anything wrong. Please learn from my mistake and find an attorney who knows what they are doing and who is motivated to bring you the best outcome.

Alex was incredibly friendly and understanding of my situation. We hired him on Thursday and by Tuesday we were already divorced, much quicker than anticipated. Would highly recommend Alex to anybody.

Alex was very responsive to all of our needs. Anytime that we had any questions or wonderings, he got back to us very quickly and answered all of our questions. He made a delicate situation less stressful. I would recommend him to anyone!

Alexander Spalding was incredible in my custody trial. He really fought hard and to the point. Very professional. He really learned my story and painted the whole picture for the judge. The whole process of going through a custody case is overwhelming and he guided me through the whole time, always informing me of what the possibilities could be. I felt he was very honest with what to expect. He always quickly responded to any questions or concerns I had. We went all the way to trial and the total cost was very reasonable. I will be a client for life in any situation that could accrue! Thank you Alex!

Alex Spalding is an amazing attorney. He went above and beyond in our child custody case. He’s not an attorney who just goes through the motions. He spent a lot of time reviewing and studying the case. He fought very hard for us in the court room and were granted everything we asked for. If you’re looking for a great attorney who actually cares about your case I highly recommend Mr. Spalding.

My case was a simple divorce with not much complication and Mr. Spalding was a key player on this. He was incredibly responsive. Every interaction was friendly, professional, but also clear and concise. He was very clear on what the steps would be and the different ways we could go about it. The paperwork was never an issue and it all moved quick and smooth. I would go back and work with him if I ever were to need it.

My simple case ended up very complex and over a year to settle in court. Mr Spalding emailed me personally to keep me informed. We had several hearings on issues that came up and he handled himself very professional in the court room. I was surprised at his very reasonable fees. He was organized and prepared for his court appearance and wise beyond his years. Mr Spalding treated me with respect and i would recommend him to anyone in need of professional advise or representation.

Savvy, perseverant, advocate, educator, patient, bold, fair, honest, shrewd, experienced, efficient, effective are some of the words that immediately pop into my mind when I think of my attorney Alexander Spalding. He has been my attorney since 2014 in what has turned out to be, by the accounts of many, an exceptionally challenging family law case. I never set out to need an attorney in life, but I am so grateful to have found Mr. Spalding. He is the opposite of the negative attorney stereotype. I think he is *exactly* what an attorney should be with all of the savvy and experience to effectively navigate contemporary complex and unique issues, and then some. He is impressive, and I advise you do yourself a favor and consider him as your representative in legal matters. I'm proud to claim him as "my attorney", and no I was not compensated in any way to submit this review. This is exactly what I think of Mr. Spalding and his services.

I respectfully disagree with the three previous reviews for Mr. Spalding. My experience was a 180 of theirs. Mr. Spalding represented me against the mother of my 2 kids in family court when she appealed child support amount she had to pay previously awarded to me. The hearing morphed into a child custody trial when judge advised mother to pursue custody and support instead (rule 3.3 Jud. Code/Conduct). Spalding did not object or respond in any way when this took place. Spalding also failed to object to numerous incidents of ex-parte communication between mother and tripp (rule 3.9 Jud. Code/Conduct). Judge displayed several incidents of bias and impartiality during trial unhindered. My perception of Spalding was that he lacked the skills and knowledge to competently represent anyone in court and was intimidated by the judge. My mistake in choosing Spalding to represent me was financially motivated. I wanted to save a few bucks. In a family court setting where all that you love, cherish, and live for can be at risk…run don't walk from Mr. Spalding. You would be better off representing yourself

Alex Spalding assisted me in my adverse possession case. He was professional, courteous, and always prompt in dealing with all the paperwork and returning all calls and emails. Mr.Spalding really took the time to make sure we knew and understood all the details of the case and what our options were at all times. We were able to proceed through the case by offering settlements and finally agreeing on a settlement all with his assistance. It all went very smoothly with his aid. I am very grateful that I decided to seek his legal counsel rather than go it alone with my small claims case. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr.Spalding to anyone that is needing a lawyer for their legal needs!

I am a father who has full custody of my two girls. I have been a client of Mr. Spalding for the past 3 years. He was instrumental in modifying my visitation, protecting the best interests of my children, as well as my own. Mr. Spalding was able to present and argue my case in court, resulting in supervised visits for the girls. His professional attitude and willingness to do whatever it takes to get you a favorable outcome in a timely manner is statements that speaks loud and clear about Mr. Spalding’s work ethic. He makes you feel as though you are a person rather than just another client. I highly recommend Mr. Spalding for your legal issues.

I have hired this attorney with regards to a child custody matter. The matter has had it's ups and downs, but Mr. Spalding has stayed professional at all times. He is down to earth and works hard to do what is best for your case. He may be only out there for 5 years, but his few years does not not deter his performance. I strongly recommend him.
