What Our Clients Say
-
HollyBest child custody lawyer in town Where do I start?! Kris is a GAMECHANGER for Family Law. She is organized, responsive, caring, and more importantly...she gets results! She listens and does her homework and cheers you along the way. Her paralegal Hannah is amazing as well...they tag team and get the job done! These ladies would even respond in the evening at times...well after hours if it was really important. She knows the key players in the court system which helps as well. I am so grateful to have met her. She is someone that you can tell your issue to once and she knows what you are thinking and how to fix it before you do. Nobody ever wants to go to court and I was a nervous wreck even though I was the one that filed. Kris was so compassionate, told me to relax...that she's got it and she was right. She will have your back! To achieve that level of trust that quickly when dealing with your family is priceless to me. I will forever be so grateful to have met her. Kris Sexton is definitely who you need to hire for custody issues, etc. Hopefully I will not need her again...but she offered to be on stand by if I needed anything else. What a great lawyer! - 6/16/2021read moreread less James LeeGreat representation. Easy to work with. Prompt responses to queries.

I highly recommend her and this firm. They were very helpful and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process! - 1/04/2018read moreread less JuliaCompassionate 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 less

It was a devastating time of my life and Kris did what she could to make it manageable. She took her time with me, answered my questions, was very thorough with her responses, and I felt very protected by her when it came to my ex-husband's lawyer. I really felt like she was watching out for me and handling things so I wouldn't have to. She even met with me after the divorce was final to answer additional questions I had. It was a pleasure working with her. - 1/06/2014read moreread less JasonDedicated and Honest Kris and Hannah are amazing!!

She gave so much dedication and attention to our situation. I honestly could not believe how invested she was to our case. My custody issues were very intense and complex due to it being an out of state placement. There were so many times I became completely hopeless but Kris brought the light back to my life when we went to court and she stood up and let herself be heard when noone else was able to do so. Because of her passion and determination I am home today with my son by my side. I could never say enough positive things about Kristina Sexton as a person and an attorney. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal advice/representation. If you want a strong willed, well knowledged attorney with a can and will do attitude, Kris is by far the way to go! - 2/20/2017read moreread less

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 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 less
- anonymousCould not have asked for a better custody attorney 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. - 6/11/2018read moreread less anonymousVery Helpful and Professional I met with Kristina because I needed answers to questions that I thought I would never have to ask.

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! 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 less Tonja BuckleyKris and Hannah worked so hard for my case.

- adam rothblattCoby 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. - 9/18/2019read moreread less Patti SmithDivorces can be difficult for all parties involved, but we are very thankful we found Robert Autrey, Esquire to take on my brother’s case. He and his paralegal Chelsey Drane went above and beyond to understand all the facts and details of the case, communicating regularly with the opposing party and setting up mediation because it was in the best interest of my brother to get the case settled. They were both very informative throughout the case and always made sure everyone understood the process and options throughout the divorce negotiations. We always knew they had our best interests at heart and they were able to get the divorce finalized with a favorable outcome. We are forever thankful for their competence, skills and experience. - 10/01/2024read moreread less Dave Smith(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. - 1/26/2020read moreread less
- HeidiExcellent lawyer! Coby, and everyone at his office, was very professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. We were treated with respect and honesty. I cannot thank him and his firm enough for their guidance and services. - 2/13/2020read moreread less SisSquadI 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! - 1/26/2020read moreread less anonymousDeftly navigated a difficult situation to a satisfying conclusion 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. - 6/11/2018read moreread less
- Lori McCorkleI consulted with many different law firms for my complex custody case and went with Kris at NXTSTEP and it was one of the best decisions of my life. Kris and her team not only won both my cases, but made sure I was well informed and comfortable with each step of the plan they immediately laid out with me after my consultation. After hiring Kris, I found out why she is one of the best lawyers in the South and so known for what she does. She fought hard and we won big. Thanks for her, my child is safe and we will be forever grateful for saving our family. - 1/14/2023read moreread less Taylor PaulkRequiring a $300 consultation fee that isn’t listed on the website when you set up an appointment but cancelling your appointment when you don’t know is not a fair way to treat a family that’s obviously dealing with stuff. REPLY TO THEIR REPLY: My email confirmation stated no requirement of a deposit, or I would have easily paid. The appointment setting process also didn’t mention a fee. Even when I called and discussed it over the phone with somebody at your firm, I was told it is not on the website and that you find that out during the conversation with the firm. I was able to acquire other assistance where they were upfront about the fees and already feel more comfortable. I do hope you help many families and maybe make the fee known in the online appointment making process or the confirmation email. Have a good day. - 4/14/2024read moreread less Tracey TylmanCoby did a great job of handling my divorce and making me feel like I was heard and understood, and that I no longer had to carry all the stress alone. He and his paralegal, Cheryl, kept me informed every step of the way and put a lot of work into my case. I would definitely hire him again if I ever needed to. - 11/19/2021read moreread less
- MarianneAmazing experience Kris is honest and down to earth. I love how she told me what to expect right away, she fought for us and was just the most amazing attorney you could ask for. She is nice and inviting but in the courtroom shes firm. Doesnt take a no for an answer when what we were asking for wasnt far fetched. I wanted a bulldog in an attorney and i found it. Hannah is amazing too. You wouldnt be disappointed with her or her staff!! - 11/17/2016read moreread less anonymousHonest, ethical, & Genuine I consulted with Kris for my case. During the initial consult she explained thoroughly what to expect and how the process would work and I’m pleased to say that everything went like clockwork! She never gave me false hopes, or told me simply what I wanted to hear. She was honest and upfront and told me the risk vs the benefit at every step. She answered every email and I had zero trouble getting ahold of her, which I’ve heard is very rare with most attorneys. There were no surprises, nothing we didn’t plan for, and I’m very happy with the result. Kris also treated me like a real person, and not just another client. I’d recommend her to everyone! - 4/08/2018read moreread less Brandi YoungThey are a fabulous professional and compassionate law firm. Thank you for helping my family move to the next steps in life.
