What Our Clients Say
- Kathryn GarciaNobody wants to go through a divorce, but Coby and Nikki made a tough situation as pain free as possible! Coby decoded the legal jargon for me and made it easy to understand. They responded quickly, were efficient, and very kind. I would definitely choose them again! - 1/03/2019read moreread lessLisa BrizendineWords really can't express the gratitude I have for Kristina Sexton. She has been with me every step of the way during my very difficult divorce. Kris, as well as her paralegal Hannah, have been on top of every situation. They've kept me informed during the entire process. Kris has been "spot on" in providing her legal advice, and trust me, this wasn't a "file for divorce and be done in 2 months" situation! My situation has had many twists, turns, and complexities; yet, she never blinked an eye. She is very strategic and highly experienced, well beyond her years. I believe she's a very versatile attorney, whether you are needing an aggressive attorney or one that is suited for a more "amicable" situation. I am more than pleased; I am very thankful to have chosen Kris, Hannah, and the rest of the team at NXSTEP Family Law to help me. - 1/04/2018read moreread less
- Anna HollandKris is an awesome lawyer! I felt confident going into a child support issue because Kris was my lawyer. She responds quickly to questions and has great support staff. She is very straight-forward and will only tell you facts (and not just what you want to hear). She has a great reputation among lawyers and judges and this makes it easier for mediations to go well. - 12/01/2023read moreread lessjonathan hillisAll the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and take time to understand each situation individually.Kris knows how to get things done and Hannah CoulterParalegal to Kris Sexton and Coby Boswell was always quick to email me back.

She was pretty upfront with me about what I was facing and what my better options would be in order to get the best results possible. We settled outside of court. But I'm very glad to have had Kristina on my side. I would recommend her and use her in the future. - 8/19/2014read moreread less
- NicholeI made the RIGHT CHOICE To be honest I was skeptical at first because I did not understand the process. Kris kept telling me not to worry and that was hard for me but when this woman came to court....WOW was she super prepared and owned the courtroom. The other attorney didn't stand a chance - partly because her client had not been truthful and partly because Kris knew every law and angle to use in support of our argument. It was apparent when we left the courtroom that the Judge could see the truth and that was a victory in itself but then the custody settlement as well as a judgement for attorney fees came in and all I can say is thank you Kris for fighting for me and giving me the strength to fight for my son! I will recommend to anyone that is in need of a very SHARP attorney that honestly has the best interest of your child. Well worth every single penny and more!! Thanks again Kris! You are my Ambassador of Quan and a blessing to me and most importantly to the future of my son!! - 3/25/2016read moreread lessEricaCustody changes I hired Kris to handle my case to change a custody agreement. I needed this to happen quickly to ensure the safety of my child. Kris and her team exceeded all of my expectations. She kept me informed through the entire process and answered all of my questions immediately. Kris was able to resolve my case without me having to set foot in a court room. We also have provisions set up so that if I have any issues in the future, my child is protected without having to start this process over. I did not think that was going to be possible. The level of professionalism and assistance you receive from Kris is priceless. - 1/26/2019read moreread lessDoris HawkinsLet'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.

- Joe RaymondKris helped guide me successfully through a pair of extremely difficult and tumultuous child custody and divorce lawsuits. Kris's wise counsel, advice, and great communication at critical junctures helped bring peace and confidence to an otherwise chaotic set of circumstances! When the situation required quick responses to situations, or a motion to be filed, she was always on top of the situation. I always felt like I had someone in my corner that was ethical, very knowledgeable of legal precedent and Alabama statutes, and fair in giving a fair assessment of the situation at any given point in time. I truly credit Kris's wise decisions to helping make my home life more stable and safe. Kris's entire team at NXTSTEP; from her partner Coby to Hannah, Katie, Kennedy, and Taylor; were always extremely responsive, professional, and kind. They truly take a team approach and I would recommend them to anyone needing help in the areas of family law, child custody issues, divorce (contested or uncontested). I can't thank Kris and her team enough for being in my corner this past year! - 12/15/2023read moreread less

- anonymousBest child custody and divorce lawyer in town 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! - 1/10/2020read moreread lessLauraCoby Boswell Mr. Boswell is a very sympathetic, compassionate and knowledgeable attorney.

Kristina took time to explain basic case law, as well as the specific details of my own case. She didn't make decisions for me, but instead provided me with information and guided me to make the decision that was best for my children and myself. I had a million questions, big and small, and Kristina and Hannah were always there with an answer. Kristina and NxtStep Family Law took a real interest in getting the best results. Not only do they know family law, they also know the local jurisdictions and other firms well, so it was a relief not to wonder what might happen next; instead, I was educated and well-prepared every step of the way.

- Daveno nonsense, took my case seriously Nora (through the NXTSTEP practice in Huntsville, AL) did a fantastic job with my divorce-related case in the fall of 2019. She took a no-nonsense, serious approach to my defense. She did excellent research and preparation work. Her communication was very responsive and timely. 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 certainly do myself in the future if I ever need her services again. - 1/18/2020read moreread lessJuliaCompassionate Justice I truly feel like my granddaughter's life was saved by Kris and her team!! Kris met with my husband and I just hours after the Emergency Hearing that granted us temporary custody and allowed us to take our granddaughter to our home- across several state lines and 12 hours away. Kris was always three steps ahead of our granddaughter's parents (once DNA test came back and there was a father involved) and their legal teams, making sure motions were filed to get information that we needed for our case. The father would not speak with anyone and the mother (my husband's daughter from a previous relationship) was completely uncooperative, unreasonable, disrespectful and hateful the entire duration of our case. The judge ordered things like Social Security number and Birth Certificate be turned over (to enable us to get our granddaughter on our health insurance) and not one time did the mother comply so Kris would file motions to "Compel". We were able to participate via telephone for most of the hearings. I feel like Kris went above and beyond, especially just days before our Final Hearing, because the parents did not comply with Discovery until the day before the hearing/trial, I know Kris had to have been up late compiling information (had gained access to mother's Facebook) for exhibits during the hearing. A fair amount of that information was extremely disturbing and unbeknownst to me and couldn't have been easy to read. I am fairly sure that most everything about our case was unique, my stepdaughter has been diagnosed with numerous, very serious mental disabilities (on SSI for them) and just dealing with her was a constant challenge for all. When communication became difficult between myself and she, Kris had me forward (mostly via email) the message chain and she took over to save me the emotional stress. Just arranging a visitation was a complete drama and challenge, but Kris made sure it got done. Kris even personally called me on the phone, in the evenings, knowing I needed more than just an email. Kris got the CAJA people involved and also asked for DHR to become involved again, to also aid in services for my stepdaughter. Kris kept in constant contact with me every time something new was developing (Emergency Hearing was November 3, 2017 and Final Hearing was August 17, 2018). She attended the previous two hearings even though we participated via telephone. In the initial consultation Kris listened intently and explained, in detail, how things would likely proceed and progress and that this was going to take up to a year for us to get the result we were looking for. Due to the nature of my stepdaughter's lifestyle/religious (using that loosely) beliefs, even before the horrendous full truth was finally revealed, my husband and I wanted to be sure that our granddaughter would NEVER be subjected to any period of time with her parents that would allow for her to be in/around them without us present. Early on visitations were ordered to be supervised only, keeping our granddaughter safe. Kris made sure we were in touch with the CAJA and his supervisor (he even came all the way to our home for a home visit and face to face interview, after doing a FaceTime interview and walk through of our home), the GAL and had them aid us in getting visitation scheduled as well as offering appropriate places and contact information for official supervisors for these visitations. Some of our legal fees were solely due to my stepdaughter being completely non-compliant and uncooperative (with literally EVERYTHING ordered, scheduling, etc.) so Kris filed motions for Sanctions to try and help recoup some monies for us, which we never expected but greatly appreciated. This ended up costing quite a bit more than we had expected, but we never felt taken advantage of. I know we couldn't have found a better representative for our case!!! - 8/20/2018read moreread lessJasonDedicated and Honest Kris and Hannah are amazing!!

- JohnExcellent attorney I hired Kris as my divorce attorney in March of 2014. She was very thorough in her approach and very knowledgeable concerning the law as it pertained to my case. It was a very contentious divorce and I have three small children, so I needed someone with her skills to put my mind at ease that my children's best interest were being served. She and her staff were always very professional and helped me every step of the way. In a difficult situation like divorce, it's always reassuring to know that you have a professional working diligently on your behalf. She has continued to give guidance after my divorce when child custody and post-separation issues have arisen with my former spouse. I would definitely recommend her services for anyone facing divorce and/or child custody issues. - 6/01/2017read moreread lessJohnGreat Attorney Whatever problem you are facing across the family law spectrum, I cannot think of a better person to call than Kristina Sexton. Divorce and child custody are very serious issues that will affect you for the rest of your life, and having the wrong lawyer will have severe consequences. The battle I was facing with my wife (now ex-wife) was very difficult and sometimes nasty, but Ms. Sexton handled everything perfectly in a personable and efficient manner. She was thorough and always well-prepared, very supportive, and always returned my calls and emails. She is very professional in the court room and always showed respect to the Judge and other lawyers. She can be very tough and candid when necessary but did not need to prove her toughness by being unnecessarily contentious. She is very knowledgeable and has the experience to deal with multiple issues and she gets winning results. Not only does she have a lot of talent, but she is also very trustworthy. I was never afraid or apprehensive to talk to her about anything, and she was always honest about what to expect. I highly recommend her. - 8/25/2014read moreread less

- Cora MeeksMy husband and I chose this law firm out of the recommendation of a friend when we had dealing with DHR and we were not disappointed! My husband had Coby for the family attorney and Jamie as his criminal attorney in 2020 and they and their assistants were both responsive, reliable, patient with our many questions, professional and they cared. We are so thankful for the time, energy and work that they put into our case in order to make our family whole again. Even though, our case lasted 10 months, they were there every step up the way and we are forever grateful for that. They always listened to us and made us feel like we were being heard and we knew we could count on them. I know this post is basically 2 years late but that's only because I wanted to focus on our family and nurture the relationships that DHR had tried to snuff out by falsely accusing my husband and our family of things so i say all this to just say if you're wondering if you should use NXTSTEP then you definitely should because you won't be disappointed! - 1/08/2022read moreread lessJerica AnthonyI called Next Step Family Law after hearing many friends talk about how good they are.

- KellyCrushed to Confident Following the realization that my marriage of almost 10 years was over, I was devastated. I had never imagined the possibility, and I certainly knew nothing of the process, what to expect, or where to turn. I found Kristina through a friend, and from the first appointment, I knew my children and I were in great hands. Kristina took time to explain basic case law, as well as the specific details of my own case. She didn't make decisions for me, but instead provided me with information and guided me to make the decision that was best for my children and myself. I had a million questions, big and small, and Kristina and Hannah were always there with an answer. Kristina and NxtStep Family Law took a real interest in getting the best results. Not only do they know family law, they also know the local jurisdictions and other firms well, so it was a relief not to wonder what might happen next; instead, I was educated and well-prepared every step of the way.

Kris kept telling me not to worry and that was hard for me but when this woman came to court....WOW was she super prepared and owned the courtroom. The other attorney didn't stand a chance - partly because her client had not been truthful and partly because Kris knew every law and angle to use in support of our argument. It was apparent when we left the courtroom that the Judge could see the truth and that was a victory in itself but then the custody settlement as well as a judgement for attorney fees came in and all I can say is thank you Kris for fighting for me and giving me the strength to fight for my son!
