What Our Clients Say

Dave
Excellent Attorney! I think stating honest and trustworthy is too cliche but that in itself is an understatement. Kris, was very sensitive to my needs especially due to the nature of my case. I appreciated the fact that she was very upfront with me and walked me through every available option that was given. She was also very responsive to my calls/emails if I ever had any questions or concerns. But above all, Kris is an amazingly gifted attorney and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding Family Law attorney. - 3/17/2015read moreread less

Brilliant lawyer I consulted with Ms. Sexton and learned more in the first 10 minutes with her than I did with my previous two attorneys. 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 -

William Vaughn
Coby worked on a Divorce/Custody case for me, and I can honestly say things could have went the other direction if not for his legal abilities. He walked me through everything that was going to happen and how we were going to deal with it. In the end, he was able to get me custody of my daughter. At no point did I feel that I was just an account or some random client. He was fast to return calls or emails, always kept in touch when things were hectic. He still calls on occasion just to check in on me and my daughter. I highly recommend Coby Boswell. - 1/04/2017read moreread less

Kris 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 less -

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.

John
Excellent 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

Child Custody Case Coby Boswell was excellent from day one. Prior to going to court everything that needed to be taken care of was done in a fast and timely manner, he was very professional and handled my case with ease. He’s also very good at conflict resolution and getting work done quickly so props to him and his team. I would definitely recommend him to anyone going through child custody battles. - 11/19/2021read moreread less -

Custody 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 -

Attorney jamie stephens is the worst lawyer I've ever had to work with. Felt like she was working with DA when it came to getting my love one out of jail. In almost 7 months she only visit the client once and was ask numerous time than. She has a very bad attitude and ask him to plea guilty before even reading his case fully. I don't recommend this firm for no one. - 6/10/2024read moreread less
Kelly S
Thank you, Kristina Sexton! When I initially filed for divorce, my spouse owed me quite a bit of money, and I was very concerned that I would not ever be paid back. I was also concerned my spouse may leave the state to avoid taking responsibility for his actions. From the very first consultation all the way to the end, Kris was professional, confident, and assured me that she would take care of everything. That's exactly what she did! She stepped up for me and handled contact with him when needed. Not only did I receive every penny I was owed, but I had peace of mind during an otherwise stressful journey through a divorce. I've worked with attorneys before, and none of them made me feel as supported as Kris did. I really appreciated it, and I would highly recommend her services! - 4/05/2018read moreread less

Words 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

Kenyonika Sorter
I 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 -

Could 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 -

Best 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.

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 -

Honest, 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

Great 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 -

Great Representation during a child custody case. I could not have had a better experience than I did with Kris! She is extremely knowledgeable and informative!

Kris and Coby are excellent and skilled attorneys. When my daughter needed an attorney that specialized in custody, she was lucky enough to have the team of Kris and Coby. Coby was always kind, understanding and went out of his way to be there whenever she need him. He knew the law and he was prepared to fight for her and the best interest of the child. Coby and Kris always took great care of my daughter and grandson. She was very lucky to have them as her attorneys. The support staff is excellent as well. They were quick to respond to her and always made her feel like she mattered. - 7/06/2016read moreread less

Could 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 -

A great lawyer Coby 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. - 10/03/2016read moreread less

(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

Thank you, Kristina Sexton! When I initially filed for divorce, my spouse owed me quite a bit of money, and I was very concerned that I would not ever be paid back. I was also concerned my spouse may leave the state to avoid taking responsibility for his actions. From the very first consultation all the way to the end, Kris was professional, confident, and assured me that she would take care of everything. That's exactly what she did! She stepped up for me and handled contact with him when needed. Not only did I receive every penny I was owed, but I had peace of mind during an otherwise stressful journey through a divorce. I've worked with attorneys before, and none of them made me feel as supported as Kris did. I really appreciated it, and I would highly recommend her services! - 4/05/2018read moreread less

Truly 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 -

Compassionate 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 -

Requiring 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 -

So 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

Honest, 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 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!

Crushed 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.

Great 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

As a former Military Officer I want a person that comes to Battle prepared, well rehearsed, knowledgeable and ready to BRING THE FIGHT....That's what you get with Kris Sexton Attorney at Law. I would recommend her to anyone and I would dread going up against her. She will have your back...if you need a lawyer who will WIN and is out for your best interest dial her up. - 9/18/2018read moreread less

Wonderful and Helpful Coby Boswell is a wonderful attorney. Very caring and helpful throughout the process. Handles everything with the utmost care, compassion and professionalism. The staff he and Kristina Sexton have built are all very helpful and dedicated to getting you the help needed. I will continue to use Mr Boswell if future issues arise and recommend him highly to my friends, or anyone I know looking for a family attorney. - 3/21/2017read moreread less
