(this review is for family law, not criminal law) Nora did a fantastic job with my divorce-related case. She took a no-nonsense, serious approach to my defense. She did excellent research and preparation work. I've encountered many lawyers in this field around Huntsville, and there are *many* duds, so I recommend you do careful research up front. I strongly encourage you to consider hiring Nora, as I will do myself in the future if I ever need her services again.

I was recommended Kris through a friend. When I met with her she was straight to the point. She had a plan of action and told me exactly what I needed to do. I hired her as my divorce lawyer that day. We battled it out with my ex for about 9 months. Her and her office were always very responsive to my emails and calls. She advised me on what to do and what not to do. She gave me best and worst case scenarios up front. She went up against 3 different lawyers with my ex and we always came out on top. She also went up against a very aggressive judge and we had several judgements in our favor throughout the 9 months. I got full custody of my kids and got to keep my house. She is a laid back but also a straight to the point kinda lawyer, which I love! Thank you Kris for having my back and fighting for me and my kids!

Can't better. The firm resolved my issues in weeks. I compared several other firms before and finally selected them. They were quick and always available. Can't be better and go back to them again and again.
I worked with Kris through my divorce and again for modification to another state. She helped me move things to my residing state quicker then my attorney in my state!I (really wish I could have her here as well.) She's quick and very honest. She is aggressive and extremely clear about everything. I appreciate her and her staff for helping me through each process.

Nxtstep and Mr Boswell helped me in a time of need. They were professional and compassionate every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mr Boswell in your family law issues. He is on the side of the child and doing what is right for that child.

I hired Kristina for a nasty custody battle between my child’s mother and myself, and as hard as it was to get through she made me feel confident the whole time. Kris truly cared for my wishes and was willing to fight for me like I was family. I never had any trouble getting a hold of Kris, she always emailed me back quickly. I wouldn’t ever want anyone else representing me. If you want a lawyer that you can be confident in that they are working hard for you, then you can’t go wrong with Kris and her team at NXTstep. She has truly done me wonders.

Very knowledgeable and very dedicated to fighting for my rights as a single father in the Alabama court system. I have retained custody of my children thru NXTSTEP Family Law team of professionals who took my battle to the courthouse and left victorious with custody remaining with myself. I would recommend any persons going thru custody issues and would definitely recommend for any single father trying to achieve custody of their children in the Alabama court system. I can't say enough about the professionalism and dedication to achieving victory for not only myself but for my children as well!!

Let's just say Coby changed mine and my daughters lives! I had so much fear & stress going into the divorce and custody etc. Coby was always so confident & caring which was very reassuring to me. He is very professional, he always returned my calls or emails and was willing to listen even when I was a MESS!! I cant express enough how much I appreciate his guidance. We are forever grateful for what he did for us!!

Kris is an expert in all areas of the art. She understands technology, its impacts on our daily lives and how to use it. She understands the process and how to use it to navigate the most difficult situations. She was patient where I was impatient, helpful, attentive and only billed when absolutely necessary. She has been a dream to work with and I'm so glad I did. She resolved my case to the satisfaction of everyone involved and I'm very happy to be moving forward to the next chapter of my life. If I have to call her to deal with anything on this matter again, I most certainly will do that. I can't recommend Kris and her team enough.

I retained Kris Sexton in the summer of 2016 when I was denied my summer visitation by my ex-wife. I had smaller problems with visitation since my divorce was finalized in late 2014 but this was the last straw for me. I was not at all happy with my original divorce attorney so I knew it was time to find a good attorney that could help me out. As soon as I hired Kris I could immediately tell the difference and knew that I had a very knowledgeable and beyond competent attorney that could finally represent me accordingly. She immediately got me back my lost summer visitation and then we proceeded to work on getting custody completely changed. I had always been alienated from my kids ever since leaving my ex-wife, denied phone calls when they weren’t with me or on the rare occasion I was able to briefly talk to my kids on the phone they were often made to call me names by my ex-wife or simply say whatever she wanted them to tell me, rather than just simply getting to tell me about their day. I was not told about doctor appointments for my kids, or even surgeries, was erased from most of their doctor and some school forms and was constantly battling my ex-wife attempting to keep me from being a part of my kids lives. I even had to fight to keep my ex-wife from moving away wth the kids, which Kris was also a huge help with. After a long hard battle, I’ve learned through all of this that nothing involving the courts moves very quickly, Kris was able to get me sole physical custody of my kids with all decision-making. As a father in Alabama I know how tough it is to get sole custody but Kris was able to do it. I went into this just hoping to maybe get true split custody with joint decision making but Kris far exceeded my expectations. I would highly and absolutely recommend Kris Sexton, and her paralegal Hannah who was awesome through this whole process as well, to anyone whether they’re a father or a mother who are looking for unmatched representation when it comes to custody and or divorce related issues. If you are looking for someone who knows all of your rights as a parent, will fight for those rights and will represent you in the most professional way imaginable then you cannot do any better than Kris Sexton at NXTSTEP Family Law.

We truly believed our experience for our stepparent adoption would be a rather great one, it seemed that way at first. Bridgette could use a little more of a professional mannerism. Having to deal with her has been less than pleasant and seems like management doesn't care to change that.
Our case was a rather simple one, we were charged for petty things, like a phone call for them to fix something Alacourt had messed up in the system, $200 for 10 minute phone calls, etc.

Coby and Niki helped to represent me in my divorce and custody case. They both made it easy to understand what was going on, why things were happening the way they were, and what would be coming next. They made one of the most difficult times of my life more bearable. I would highly recommend them for any family matters that anyone might be going through.

Booked a consultation online, received an email confirmation, and drove forty-five miles only to be told that the booking was unavailable. If you're unable to honor the consultation times that are listed as available on your website, then you shouldn't make this an option to schedule.

Kris and her team are beyond fantastic! They are professional and knowledgeable, we have worked with them long distance as we live in kansas. We had continuous contact with her and Hannah the whole time, they reassured us and addressed any concerns we had. We were nervous for mediation and trial but this team brings their A-game every time and trial wasnt even needed for us. We cannot recommend her enough! Absolutely through the roof ecstatic about our outcome. Thank you NxtStep team! We are indebted to you!

Coby is phenomenal. I hired him when starting my divorce process and was completely clueless on what to do. Coby met with me the day after I called and explained to me my options. I have two small children that are my world and he has kept there best interest at heart since day one. He has always been prompt to respond to calls and emails and always follows through on what he says. He dealt with everything and always gave me the quote "hindsight is 20/20" He still represents me and helps with the joys of dealing with child support issues. I highly recommend him and am so thankful for him.

Coby worked on a Divorce/Custody case for me, and I can honestly say things could have went the other direction if not for his legal abilities. He walked me through everything that was going to happen and how we were going to deal with it. In the end, he was able to get me custody of my daughter. At no point did I feel that I was just an account or some random client. He was fast to return calls or emails, always kept in touch when things were hectic. He still calls on occasion just to check in on me and my daughter. I highly recommend Coby Boswell.
