What Our Clients Say
-
CHRIS JARVISI recently had need for legal council, something no one desires, but Kris and Coby were understanding, listened and provided great council. Through them I reached the outcome I was looking for. They treated my case with the utmost care and they will for you as well. - 10/17/2016read 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 Ashley PowerKris is amazing! She went above and beyond to me out and I would recommend her to anyone! - 12/17/2017read 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 Juli Moore MoseleyI 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 on a personal level and the case in its entirety. They always responded right away to all of my many questions and worked so very hard for me. Hiring Kris was the very best decision 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. I thank them from the very bottom of my heart ❤️. - 2/01/2020read moreread less MelissaI don’t know where I would be without Coby’s help! Coby and Cheryl have been helping me for four years. Between my divorce, custody, and a step parent adoption they have been great through it all. In all situations, their advice has helped me get to where we are today and protect my children. I can’t imagine a better team. - 7/23/2025read moreread less
- Terrell WhiteCoby did an outstanding job in my custody battle! He was very intelligent when it came to matters dealing with my case and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services! - 2/10/2020read moreread less 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 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

- JasonDedicated and Honest Kris and Hannah are amazing!! From our first meeting throughout the 15 month process, they were welcoming, understanding, dedicated, knowledgeable, and committed to representing me to the best of their abilities. I could not have asked for a better team to present my case. I can’t speak about them highly enough. They were both indescribably helpful and patient with me throughout an extremely difficult and drawn out process. If you find yourself in need of family legal help, make the best decision possible and call Kris at NXTSTEP Family Law. - 7/11/2018read moreread less VGQ VGQThe only reason I’m not going in on Attorney Boswell is because, without any preparation whatsoever, he walked into trial and delivered a masterful performance—though he may disagree. His courtroom instincts and composure deserve credit. Unfortunately, everything leading up to that moment told a very different story. This is a lower mid-tier firm that operates more like a billing machine than a client-centered practice. Communication was inconsistent, preparation was minimal, and emotional intelligence was nonexistent. At no point did I feel genuinely heard or understood. The paralegal support was shockingly careless. I lost count of how many grammatical, formatting, and factual errors I had to correct in my own legal filings, things that should have been caught long before reaching me for review. Every correction felt like I was doing their quality control for them. If you’re a client who values responsiveness, empathy, attention to detail, and a sense that your case actually matters, this is not the firm for you. The entire experience felt transactional, not personal. I wasn’t treated as a parent navigating one of the most difficult chapters of my life, I was treated as a recurring invoice. Attorney Boswell may be competent in court, but his client interaction skills, if “bedside manner” were a thing for attorneys, are virtually nonexistent. He often barked orders, both in person and over email, with little regard for tone or timing. Would I recommend him? Sure, if your goal is to pay a retainer and then detach completely from the process. But if you are someone who values communication, reassurance, or even a basic sense of partnership during one of the most stressful times of your life, you will not find it here. In short, if you’re seeking a law firm that listens, communicates clearly, and takes pride in their work, run, don’t walk, somewhere else. -SC - 10/21/2025read moreread less anonymousWonderful attorney that truly cares about children Kris was wonderful.

- 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 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. - 1/04/2019read moreread less MelissaFamily matters Kris was recommended by my coworker. I was really apprehensive about the process and painful experience I knew was coming. She handled everything with poise, knew the law & reassured me that everything would work out. She and her paralegal were responsive to any questions I had and guided me through my divorce with no drama. I'm grateful that she is a family lawyer who listens and cares about her clients needs. I would highly recommend NxtStep Family Law for your legal counsel in domestic matters. You will get highly skilled & knowledgeable advice for your attorney that is invaluable. - 8/23/2024read moreread less

Pleased to have secured them to represent me and helping to win my case - 4/20/2026read moreread less JohnGreat 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 DanielFlawless Mr. Boswell is quite possibly the most accurate and aggressive man in his field.

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.

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.

- 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 Shellie KioutasKris and Coby are excellent and skilled attorneys.

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.

- JohnGreat 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 Daniel DeLucaAbove and Beyond.

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!

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

- Trey MooreCoby and his team were awesome! - 2/28/2022read moreread less Casey BrannonCoby 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. - 9/18/2017read moreread less anonymousA True Child-Advocate Kris Sexton became a true advocate for my children. She made certain their voices were heard every time they nearly gave up their hope that any one would ever listen. Mrs. Sexton was unrelenting and laser-focused in her efforts to stay-abreast of the children’s emotional state & well-being, well-beyond Judicial Hearings & Court dates. - 2/08/2021read moreread less

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

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
- BryanKristina Jill Sexton Best part about working with Ms Sexton was she didn’t try to encourage me to spend money on pointless procedural maneuvers. She was always up front with my case and I didn’t fell like I was being taken advantage of. I’ve worked with many other family lawyers and she is one of the best! - 9/03/2014read moreread less EricaCustody 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 less Michelle Tacon BloodworthThis law firm truly cares for their clients.
