Alex helped me get to a fair resolution of my divorce with my uncooperative spouse. He was patient and transparent with me. My bills were never a surprise, and he provided me with a clear understanding of what the best case scenario would be for me, and advocated strongly for my case.

I can't say enough about Alex as a lawyer in my divorce case. He was on top of things from the very beginning and throughout the 18 months he represented me. Alex was the first lawyer I ever needed to hire in my 50 plus years. I've heard many horror stories of lawyers only concerned about billing as many hours as possible and not really looking out for the best interest of their clients. I can honestly say Alex was just the opposite and would highly recommend him to anyone without any hesitation

You will not be disappointed with his service. Mr. Anderson was one of four lawyers I talked to and he was the most professional and caring. He listened to my issues first involving my divorce before just putting a price tag on my case. I told him what I wanted out of the process and he advised me on my legal rights and the best ways to go about the process. I was against getting a lawyer but so thankful I did. He was always available when I needed him and always kept me informed. He didn't spend pointless time on the case in order to runup the price and billable hours. Every month I received an invoice on exactly what I was being charged for. He was instrumental during my mediation session with my now ex-husband and ensured everything was fair. The case didn't drag out for months and months. Mr. Anderson made sure to stay on top of my ex-husbands lawyer so we could come to agreements to avoid a 2-3 day divorce trial. Thankfully we settled everything in mediation and was only in court for 15 minutes. I felt at ease working with Mr. Anderson and will definitely use him again for any of my family needs. I highly recommend Mr. Anderson. You may not think you can afford him but he will definitely work with you on a payment plan. Don't cut yourself short. Get a lawyer. Get Mr. Anderson.

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

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.

Alex is an easy to communicate attorney. He has very solid legal knowledge. I hired him for my divorce case involved child custody and property. His advice is clear and professional. His advice is not always the one you'd like to hear, but you know it's in your best interest. He runs his law firm but he does not work just for money. I think he believes justice and he has compassion for his clients.

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.

Alex is an easy to communicate attorney. He has very solid legal knowledge. I hired him for my divorce case involved child custody and property. His advice is clear and professional. His advice is not always the one you'd like to hear, but you know it's in your best interest. He runs his law firm but he does not work just for money. I think he believes justice and he has compassion for his clients.
