What Our Clients Say
-
KellyHonest, Responsive, and caring! I cannot say enough good things about Kris and NXTstep! I chose Kris because she came HIGHLY recommended by friends and other attorneys in town. I went through a very difficult and complicated contested divorce with a child custody case, which thankfully ended in mediation. I was absolutely shocked that we didn’t have to go to court, but Kris guided me through the mediation process and we were successful. I got more than I asked for, and couldn’t be happier. Kris and Hannah (paralegal) truly care about their clients. They are attentive and knowledgeable about the law, and wouldn’t talk over my head, which I appreciated immensely. I am a highly educated person, but legal jargon is not my strong suit. Thank you for making me feel important, and never letting me feel alone in the process. I highly recommend Kris and Hannah! - 2/05/2020read moreread less TylerNeed help? ASK Coby! I was referred here by a friend of mine, and I just want to say Coby Boswell, and Cheryl, well all of the staff at NXSTEP Family Law really are simply amazing. Compassionate and Educated assistance in what for most is already a difficult situation. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs assistance with anything pertaining to family law. - 11/15/2021read moreread less Conor GormanNXTSTEP Family Law exceeded all expectations for my case, and let me know that they cared!! That meant a lot to me. I didn't want to be another case in the pile. I WASNT!! I love all the hard work they did for me and my children. Worth every penny... FIVE STARS!! - 4/17/2017read moreread less - Holly WrightWhere 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! - 6/20/2021read moreread less anonymousAwesome Family Lawyer! Kris is an amazing attorney. She is very knowledgeable and dependable. She worked very hard to get results in my custody case. She kept me informed and updated about my case each 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 less Bambi ReevesThey are ready to get your case handled - 1/19/2023read moreread less Kaboom Crash MediaMy new now and alway attorney. I could not have been more thankful. When looking for an attorney you wonder, "can I trust this person when it counts the most, are they just about the money?". Kristina proved quickly that she was knowledgeable and had my best interest at heart. I feel stronger just knowing and having her in my corner when needed. Thank you Kristina Sexton, we are a better business becouse of you. - 6/21/2015read moreread less
- JoshHardest working attorney and staff We retained Kristina for a child custody case. Not only was there continuous contact from her or the staff but the hard work and effort by all of them got us a win in court. I’ve never seen someone so prepared as Kristina. She was ready for anything thrown our way. We could not have asked for a better attorney and staff who we now consider part of our family. - 2/01/2021read 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 JamiVery upfront in child custody and visitation case. I went to Kris for a child custody and visitation case. 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
- JuliJuli Moseley I hired Kris Sexton recently for a custody case. It was very emotional and complicated. Kris and her paralegal Hannah took the time to get to know me and the whole entire story. They always responded tight away to all of my questions and worked so very hard for me. Hiring Kris was the very best decision I made and I will always be grateful to her and Hannah for all of the hard work and passion they put into my case. It truly showed in court.

She went out of her way to meet with me/call me at times when I needed to talk with her. I would never choose another lawyer. I will always go back to Kristina at James Family Law Firm. - 1/10/2014read moreread less WilliamGreat Lawyer I would recommend Coby Boswell to anyone who asked for a legal reference. I had a particularly rough and lengthy divorce and custody case he represented me in. He kept in constant contact, which from what I have seen in reviews seems to be the typical complaint people have. I Have never had Mr. Boswell take more than a few hours to at least touch base with me and let me know he got my message and was working the issue. He was always understanding of the situation and would walk me through all scenarios and options available to me. To put things politely, my ex was willing to fabricate things to use in court to try and take the focus off of the things she had done. Mr. Boswell was always able to shed light on these in court and ethically provide proof of her actions, effectively getting me custody of my daughter. He is a very intelligent and capable attorney, and has through his career developed several techniques that he utilizes to his success in the courtroom. It was nothing short of a pleasure to sit beside him and watch his strategy unfold just like he had prepped me for all along. I think one of his most respectable traits is his honesty. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to keep your business or get your hopes up, he will tell you how the situation really is and then give you options to move forward. I will not use another lawyer after the relationship I have built with Mr. Boswell through his courtesy and professionalism. Hiring Mr. Boswell feels like you have an old friend who will be honest with you, who also just happens to be a really good lawyer. - 3/01/2014read moreread less Juli Moore MoseleyI hired Kris Sexton recently for a custody case.

- Lisa 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. - 10/17/2017read moreread less Kristina HammondsKris was amazing!

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 less

- chassidy musicTruly a blessing!!! In August 2016, Kristina Sexton began working with my son and I. 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 Montanez ThomasThat's my partner from way back good dude.

- 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 less Anna HollandKris is an awesome lawyer!

- Kenyonika SorterI obtained Coby Boswell for my divorce in 2021. He did not do my paperwork correctly from the start and still wanted to be paid. I would not pay him until the paperwork was correctly submitted to the courts. Coby then got upset decided to sue me in small claims for $1000 that my email stated I would pay for the work that was never completed he never won my divorce never did what he said he would do. He then asked me come back in his office a second time and I did and he had his lady Kris Sexton come in to talk to me she tried to get me to sign the paperwork as well and I wouldn’t she left out and began to cry and said I hurt her feelings and made her feel sad Coby then walked in and tried to berate me that was my first “Karen” experience. The day of the small claim court the attorney of my ex husband Aaron Ryan showed up to the small claim court hearing sat beside Coby and they chatted looked and smiled I know it was a scare tactic. It didn’t work! He actually tried to sued me for more than our agreement however , his evidence that he presented to the judge was insufficient the amounts that he stated I owed him was incorrect but me on the other hand I had every document he had ever sent. I presented it to the judge she saw the discrepancies he could not justify them he got so upset in the courtroom that the judge deemed him bombastic and kicked him out her court room. He also argued with the mediator lady so much she walked off. After that, I obtained another lawyer and explained how Coby acted in court he then said and I quote “If you get him off his balance he is unbalanced” he also stated at one point other judges had to sit Coby down and told him to settle down because he gets ugly real quick. I would not recommend this lawyer to get custody of a dog. - 7/23/2025read moreread less CeeJay LoveMy lawyer Jamie Stephens is an awesome legal representative.

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. - 1/04/2019read moreread less ftwmf06Very 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!! - 9/18/2019read moreread less
- anonymousSo caring and a fighter! Have you ever met a person, tell them your story, and they just care and want to do everything they can to ensure you are not railroaded again? They want to do all they can for you and your child?? That is Nora. Nora knows the law, she knows the Judges, she knows the court system. Nora always explains things to me and puts my mind at ease. From the date of my first filing for divorce and now the second modification, Nora has not only cared about what is best for me and my child, but has never been shy to say, "in the long run it would be more expensive to do xyz". What lawyer do you know that turns down an inflated bill! I know one, Nora. Nora doesn't waste my money, time, or energy into any of these processes. For the time we appeared in court, she was professional, smart, and quick. Do not let her kind approach to clients fool you! She will not let you get railroaded by anyone. She stands on the side of what is right, and honestly, I'm so glad to have her and will always use Nora for as long as she practices! - 3/28/2023read moreread less Lindsey ScottI cannot thank Kris and Heather enough for their exceptional support during one of the most difficult times in my life.

- Joel BanyaiWithout Coby, we would have lost our son. Foster/adoptive parents, when DHR goes rogue, you NEED a good lawyer. When relatives opposed to the adoption hired a lawyer and tried to destroy us to take him, DHR went along with it, ignoring their own permanency plan. We were shouted down, ignored, and even threatened. Had unfounded abuse allegations filed against us twice. DHR even tried to deny us legal counsel during the interviews, but Coby stood up for our constitutional rights. He helped us navigate a very complicated legal environment, and in the end, he not only saved the child but helped work out a solution that saved us time and money. Thank you Coby for saving our family! - 1/01/2022read moreread less ShuntaChild custody I wish I had Kris for the 1st hearing and I like how she can handle a case well with providing proof to the courts.

- Gary McGeeOur family had a great experience with Ms. Sexton in our adoption case. She was well prepared and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend her and her staff. - 1/04/2019read moreread less Mike LeebernI 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. - 9/18/2018read moreread less Kasey LandrethNXTSTEP is nothing short of amazing! I consulted with Kris years ago when she was at another firm and when I learned she’d opened her own, followed her. You couldn’t find a better team to work with. To date, Kris and Coby have handled 2 of my custody modifications. And the last was so expertly worded by Coby and Cheryl, it’s saved me a visit to court for another mod (at least it won’t be initiated by me). This team knows our judges. Knows the right experts. And is highly regarded in their community. You can’t go wrong. - 10/21/2021read moreread less

I've gone through a custody battle as well as terminations of parental rights. He has been my right hand man! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. From my back to back phone calls crying and freaking out for no reason or my calls of just great advice from someone I trust. We've gone a few months of silence, because everything was great, he would always call just to touch base and make sure my life was ok. Coby has always calmed me down and reassured me every step of the way! I would recommend him to any family out there going through stressful times. - 3/29/2017read moreread less
- 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. I could not imagine having walked through this process with any other attorney or team. - 2/06/2018read moreread less AdrianAdrian Drake Kris and her staff are amazing. These ladies will take care of you from day one. I got a bill summary at the beginning of each week that included a break down of the work that was being done on my case. I was never left in the dark. They make sure that you get your money's worth out of every phone call and email. Not many people can confidently say they have the best lawyer in Huntsville. But Kris and her staff are definitely the best. - 2/10/2021read moreread less Beth JacksonMr. Boswell is a dedicated to the children he serves as a guardian ad litem. - 4/12/2022read moreread less
