What Our Clients Say
-
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 Alexis KellyI didn’t know what would happen or what to expect when we had to enlist legal counsel for our sensitive case. The moment we walked in Nxtstep and spoke with Kris, we knew we were in great hands. Every time we left from speaking with Kris or Coby, we always felt like a weight had been lifted off of us. They both fought extremely hard on our behalf and we whole heartedly know that our outcome couldn’t have been better! We also can’t say enough about their paralegal, Hannah. She was such a blessing by keeping our minds at ease as well as standing beside us every step of the way! The whole Nxtstep team truly cares for you like a family. Nxtstep is all around amazing and we highly recommend them! - 10/17/2018read moreread less Katie BradfordCoby and his staff are consistently professional and compassionate, easy to reach and flexible. I would trust this firm with anything. - 1/03/2019read moreread less - anonymousExtraordinary Representation I almost didn't bother to fight. I've lived in Madison, Alabama my whole life and anyone who is from here is aware of Alabama's rightfully perceived biased on a fathers custody arrangement with their kids. Traditionally, a "weekend warrior" was the best possible outcome for the lucky fathers here.Allow this bright little review to shine through as encouragement. Fast forward to 2020:I decided to fight... The influence I knew I deserved in my son's life was well worth it. After much research & conversation with others that had their finger on the pulse of this town, I gave Kris Sexton a call.Kris and the NXTStep family whole-heartedly committed themselves to my son and I. Fully equiped for the strongest representation around, by far! We went in against what seemed like adverse odds in the beginning. Kris at the helm, we fought... and fought some more.After what seemed to be forever, NXTStep Family's dominant litigation structure made it crystal clear to the Madison judge that it was my pure intent and desire to have a healthy relationship with my son.And we won!Your choice is clear. If you need the best representation in Madison County, give Kris Sexton a call. - 10/04/2021read moreread less Jennifer CableI unfortunately had to go through a long distance divorce.

She was very professional and honest about my options and gave me realistic expectations. When we went to court everything went exactly how she told me it would. I would recommend her to anybody! - 8/10/2016read moreread less Bree WelchThe best experience possible! Kris and her team put forth their best efforts for me and my daughter making her the first priority, but also being there for support though the hardest of times and walked me through every trying situation. Kris and Brandy always have an answer for any of my questions or concerns and being able to always ease my worries. They are always on top of what ever was throw our way, very proactive and were always one step ahead. I will never use another attorney and HIGHLY recommend Nxtstep Family if you are looking for an attorney and team that will genuinely have your best interest at heart. - 7/04/2017read moreread less Eleonora SteinKris helped us as the mediator for our agreement , she was fantastic!

- 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 raymond stembaKris is a savage! I had one hell of a battle with my ex wife over custody, visitation and of course,$$$. It took 2 years to reach a settlement(out of court) but she was on my side every step of the way. I had fallen into the deepest pit of depression and despair I'd ever been in, but she didnt allow me to roll over and just eat it. She called out the mind games that were being played by my ex. she wouldn't allow me to get anything less than what I deserved nor be made to look like the bad parent I was accused of being. Thanks again for everything. You rock. - 10/17/2018read moreread less Tommy SiniardGreat professionals that understand the WHOLE process ... There is much more to it than law !!

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.

- 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 BrandyCoby saved us!!

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

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.

Kris is truly a force to be reckoned with, she is everything one could want in an attorney. I simply can't recommend her enough. Thank you Kris, I will be forever grateful to how you've helped me! - 3/10/2017read moreread less Morgan Tess CooperAwesome law firm with awesome people to support you! - 6/12/2018read 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
- Kim GriffinI had an outstanding experience with my child custody attorney. From the very beginning, everyone was knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly understood how difficult this process was for my family. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and always made me feel like my case was a priority. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve a positive outcome in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Coby Boswell and his team!! - 4/24/2025read moreread less DonovanAbsolutely Amazing 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. - 1/19/2019read moreread less Brittany CopelandWe could not have had a better experience! Kris was extremely knowledgeable and informative!

- Erica WilsonI hired Kris Sexton to handle an emergency change to my custody agreement. She immediately took action to get the case started while keeping me informed throughout the entire process. Kris and her team are very attentive, kind, and encouraging. I felt prepared for every step of the process. She not only resolved the issue for the present circumstances but set up a process should problems arise in the future without starting the process again. All of this was done without me even having to step foot in a court room. I didn’t even know that was a possibility. The level of service and professionalism you receive at NXTSTEP is priceless. I thought I had a hopeless case with no real expectations of success to receiving an outcome of more than I’d even hoped for! - 10/17/2019read moreread less Courtney JenningsI love this place, all the employees, and if you’re looking for people to truly go after a case I highly recommend this establishment! - 6/12/2018read moreread less Vettechgirl0310I first used NXT family law to help during my divorce. They helped me get through a divorce and custody battle for my children, and were there for me like nobody else. A year later when I had a criminal matter come up, I was able to give Kris and her team a call and use NXT Criminal law for my case. Different circumstances but I received the same amazing treatment. I would highly recommend giving them a call if you find yourself in a situation unexpectedly like we all do sometimes in life. Thank you NXT Criminal Law and Family Law! -Abby - 10/08/2023read moreread less
- RachelVery Professional Support! Nora did a wonderful job with my legal matter. She was highly professional, understood the process fully, and walked me through it in a very succinct way that helped me understand exactly what to expect. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for knowledgeable representation. - 2/29/2016read moreread less BrandonAbsolutely hire her! I was referred to Kris from my previous lawyer and couldn't be more grateful for this. I hired her to handle my case. She was very knowledgeable and able to break things down for me step by step to guide me. She handled my case with complete care and integrity. She does not play around. She was able to get everything settled with out even going to the court room. - 2/25/2019read 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
