Tonya and Cindy helped my ex husband and I come to so many agreements quickly and peacefully. Initially we both hired attorneys for our divorce and things escalated and got messy very fast, stressed and overwhelmed I reached out to a friend who had recently divorced and had great results with mediation. He gave me Tonya's information and even after the first consultation with her I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, she listened to our specific needs, gave excellent advice and throughout it all was warm and approachable. The mediation meetings with her helped us to communicate effectively as co parents and kept things respectful and professional while coming to agreements and finding solutions to touchy subjects. She is fully dedicated to helping couples navigate through the painful and often scary process of divorce/separation and come out on the other side with a peaceful resolution. Cindy (Tonyas assistant) was incredibly helpful with correspondence and worked diligently to help us get our parenting plan and divorce agreement wrapped up and signed. I am forever grateful for their communication and help through the entire process and would recommend Tonya to anyone who is searching for a mediator. Five stars just does not seem adequate for a rating I want to give her 20!

Tonya and Cindy were a huge help in reaching a solution that we both agreed on. I appreciate their lack of favoritism and patience as we submitted the papwerwork. The whole process lasted just a few, somewhat uncomfortable weeks, but that discomfort was eased by working with Alexander Law.

Working with Tonya and her team was a very positive experience during a hard time in life. Tonya is prompt and 2 steps ahead in each any every one of the many steps it takes to complete the divorce process. She stayed very professional the entire time and responded to the many questions I had in an understanding and clearly communicated way. It was clear that she not only had my best interests in mind but that of my children as well. Her experience as a mediator shines through in her ability to look at many of the aspects we discussed from multiple angles. Tonya gave me options on how I could help advance the case on my end in an empowering way that also helped cut legal costs. I would recommend Tonya to anyone who is considering some form of collaborative, low conflict divorce.

Tonya Alexander came recommended by a mediation attorney as a top-rate collaborative lawyer with the legal skills, knowledge and experience to represent her clients well. This gave me great peace of mind during a most uncertain, distressing time of my life dealing with the financial/retirement insecurities that come from being part of a 29-year team to being single and self reliant going forward. Tonya listened, communicated concepts and explained options clearly. She also communicated professionally with my spouse’s attorney to keep things moving along when anything stalled on their end. Tonya represented me well legally, ensuring me a solid financial future. What will stay with me is that throughout the process, she and her knowledgeable, responsive assistant, Cindy, humanized the experience with their warmth and sensitivity to my emotional well being. I can’t speak highly enough of Tonya Alexander and her team!

Tonya and her tremendously experienced staff provided me with exemplary service as I traversed through the challenging process of completing a divorce. Her decades of experience, compassion, ability to listen attentively and repeatedly go the extra mile made all the difference during a difficult time. I can't recommend Tonya highly enough if you would like to be supported by a highly skilled, empathic & dedicated professional.

Tonya Alexander and her staff were amazing at helping my ex husband and I get our divorce papers processed. We had a very amicable separation. We wanted to ensure the attorney we hired understood that this was to be drama free. We did not want a lawyer coming in and creating trouble where none was to be found for their own personal gain. The kitchen table style divorce that Tonya offers is amazing! We sat down reviewed the paperwork and she helped answer a few questions. Her team promptly filed the paperwork and kept in constant communication on how the filing was proceeding. My ex husband and I asked for a pleasant, peaceful divorce process, Tonya and her team delivered exactly that. We are both extremely happy that we chose her to help us with our divorce. I would definitely recommend Tonya Alexander.

Tonya and her staff were amazing...they made an intimidating process seem so simple. Everything was completed more quickly than I expected, and everyone we worked with went above and beyond to be helpful and make sure that our questions were answered. I highly recommend Alexander Law!

I had never worked with Tonya Alexander before, and was referred to her by my corporate business attorney at AterWynn. Tonya helped mediate a divorce for me earlier this year and her services came highly recommended. She was very thorough, patient, and precise. Her services were prompt, very affordable, and she even let us make payments after the divorce was finalized. I plan on using her services in the future, and highly recommend her for your legal needs.

I selected Tonya because she was objective, experienced and very kind. All of this reflected throughout the process. She provided me with sound advice, always protecting my interests, incredible empathy for my situation and often protecting me from myself. In the moments I second-guessed some of the decisions she remained patient, open and found a tactful way to keep me focused on the proper outcome, yet remained supportive of the doubts that crept up. Tonya is an excellent attorney and she is a marvelous human being.
