Alexandra was an amazing advocate on my behalf. She handled my divorce with great professionalism, expertise and compassion. She sensitively discussed my options and made me feel like I was in the highly capable hands of a trusted friend. All of my questions were answered, and my phone calls and emails were responded to promptly. Alexandra was very conscientious about costs, and I felt her billing was always appropriate. I never had a moment of doubt that I was working with the right attorney

I can't speak highly enough about Alexandra....u can read other posts and I could tell you ALL of the same things....BUT what I see that was NOT mentioned is how when you hire Alexandra, you get Alexandra! My ex hired what i like to call "the ugly kardashian"..... However majority of the time we went to court, she would send her "minions" to court for her who had no power to make any decisions. They were just useless bodies standing in the courtroom. My ex was not a priority for his attorney. On the days she did like to grace us w/ her scary presence, she would bring in other attorneys from other firms to help her. That is not how Alexandra operates. Alexandra once told me....."you only bring other attorneys with you when you know you can't get the job done yourself." This was the case with the opposing side 9 times out of 10. This did not happen w/ Alexandra! Also, when I interviewed w/ Alexandra, she told me something that has stuck w/ me and I repeat to all of my divorcing friends.....she said " I'd rather you send your child to college than my dogs to the spa". That quote stuck with me and I can tell you, through the 17 month divorce proceedings, she never nickel and dimed me whatsoever. Remember the ugly kardashian I mentioned? Her final bill was DOUBLE what I paid Alexandra.....and to be honest, Alexandra was a tad more expensive per hour than opposing counsel. But that goes to show you, even tho Alexandra charged me a tiny bit more per hour, in the end she saved me tens of thousands of dollars bc of her MORALS and ETHICS. Her morality goes above and beyond what I could have ever hoped for in hiring a divorce attorney. Even though I was never her only case load, I was always shown that I was priority...even in emergent situatuons which she could have easily ignored me on bc they happened during non-business hours and during the weekend. Alexandra will def know who wrote this and if ANYONE would like to speak to me personally, she has my complete permission to give my phone number to whomever. She literally saved my life and I won't lie, she's fun to talk to as well. Even tho my divorce just settled, the ugly kardashain loves ex partes, so I will never let Alexandra too far out of my sight bc I know she's on my side and she has my back. And bc of that, I can sleep well at night not having to worry about what is going to happen the next day. She is a lifesaver!!!! And sanity saver too!!! And I hope I didn't make her sound soft in this review....because she's a pit bull in the court room! I hope this review stands out to you and just have a consultation with her and I promise you will get the feeling I got and choose her.

I was referred to Mr. Lavinsky by a trusted friend for a family law matter. Ms. Lavinsky was factual, went out of her way to be helpful and available, and was prompt in attempting to bring the unpleasant situation to a halt. She was extremely goodhearted. I recommend her highly.

I went to Ms. Lavinsky for a child custody case, after a horrible experience with another lawyer who couldn't get anything right or fight for me. Ms Lavinsky was very professional and always there for me if I had any questions. She made a very uncomfortable position very comfortable. I highly recommend her.

Alexandra was one of the few attorneys who personally took my frantic call on an urgent matter last week, rather than handing me off to a staffer. She gave immediate, concrete advice, formulated a plan, and then she and her staff set about putting that plan into action right away. Not only was her advice quick, it was correct. We have just found out that the ridiculous—but very serious—problem that had cropped up, has been resolved. Alexandra was able to save our asses in exactly one week. I want to mention that Alexandra and her team also provided us with this assistance during a week when she had suffered a family tragedy. For that especially, I am very grateful. She and her associate, Emily, were also understanding in the face of my attempts to be "helpful," which were probably just annoying. I've had experience with attorneys in various fields, and I have to say, Alexandra is top notch. If you can hire her, do.

I want to emphasize how helpful Alexandra was during my messy divorce. During that process, Alexandra not only provided a lot of legal advice, but she helped me stay calm. Thanks to her, I was able to keep my children in the same home they grew up in and that is something I will be eternally grateful for. I truly believe she is someone who genuinely cares about her clients' well-being.

I retained Alexandra as a substitution in my forever on going case, which has been absolutely ridiculous because my ex is fighting over $450 a month in support yet has given his attorney Roger Rombro $150,000 in fees. Rombro had something against my attorney so I went to Alexandra. I interviewed 8 attorneys before selecting her and was very happy with her services. She made me feel at ease, that I wasn't going to be ripped off or taken advantage of because my case wasn't on emotion with custody or how much more I could get it was based on my rights as a mother and protecting myself. I needed someone to keep me level headed and make wise decisions against an irrational ex husband of 5 years. She did just that. This is the place you want to go if you want to feel empowered and know that the empowerment you get isn't going to be used to run up a massive bill.
