No one wants to get divorced, and certainly no one wants to have a contentious divorce and custody battle. Walking into court, I never felt more confident thanks to Alex's hard work, preparation and caring communication throughout the whole process. Alex is incredibly smart, measured, thoughtful and has a personal nature that will make you feel at ease. But it's also his tenacity and doggedness that makes you feel confident you're in the right hands. I interviewed numerous lawyers before final landing on Alex and I am very thankful to have him on my team.

As grandparents seeking parenting rights and shared custody of our grandchildren, we knew that our case would require not only a skilled lawyer but someone with sensitivity, tact and diplomacy. From our first meeting, we were confident that Alex Sutton would represent us well. Alex listened carefully to our story and was very clear about what the law would allow in our situation. He was always thorough in his explanations, covering most possible scenarios, and then allowed us to choose the approach that would optimize the outcome while minimizing the destruction of relationships. When confronted by challenges from the opposing side, Alex responded quickly, skillfully and extremely ethically. In court, Alex was always very well prepared, calm and confident which helped us to manage our anxiety in that highly stressful setting. It was apparent that our judge had great respect for Mr. Sutton and recognized and appreciated all of the work that he had put into preparing the case. In the end, Alex was able to negotiate a very unique agreement among the parties and convince the judge that it was rare but still not unprecedented. While there are never any winners in a difficult case like this, we could not be more pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend Alex Sutton.

Alex helped me during an extremely difficult period in my life. I constantly felt safe and well protected while having Alex on my side. Alex Sutton is a strong, well-prepared, experienced lawyer. We encountered unexpected challenges along the way, and Alex approached them with nothing else but an open mind, flexibility and professionalism. I feel grateful I had Alex to represent me, and I would strongly and enthusiastically recommend his services without hesitation.

I highly recommend Alex Sutton. He is not just a great lawyer, but he cares about his clients best interest during difficult and emotional times. It was extremely important for me to have a lawyer who is a good "listener". Alex was not only a good listener, but he educated me on my legal rights as a father. Alex listens to his clients concerns and wants, and does a great job backing up his promises. Alex consistently kept an open line of communication with me throughout the entire process, and was able to articulate my thoughts and needs to other lawyers and judges. Finally, Alex is simply a trustworthy lawyer, and more importantly a good person.

When I brought Alex my case, I was in a very difficult situation and there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel. The obstacles in my case seemed insurmountable. It became clear to me very early on, though, that Alex is not afraid of even of the most daunting challenge. He managed to calmly level what seemed to be an extremely unfair playing field with poise and confidence. Alex took the time to listen and understand why even the most difficult objectives in my case were necessary. He meticulously took on each obstacle and accomplished everything that needed to be accomplished. I can't thank him enough for the outcome or for the peace of mind along the way.

Look. If you want to spend top dollar for mediocre results then this is your guy. I found him incredibly disengaged with the process.
