What Our Clients Say
-
Kelsey BlackI used Kristina for a child custody case. She was very knowledge and extreamly professional. She is highly recommended for any child custody or child support case. - 1/04/2018read moreread less will walkerMr. Boswell and the staff at NXTSTEP are excellent they are very thorough and diligent in handling your case and they give you max output in getting your matters resolved in a positive outcome.I had a long process and Coby & Niki were great and were right there with me every step of the way. I highly recommend them and feel they are one of the best in North Alabama.Thanks to everyone @ NXTSTEP Family Law W.E.W. - 2/03/2019read moreread less Matt EnglandCoby handled an adoption for me. Went smooth as silk and he handled everything every step of the way. Couldn’t be more happy. Would highly recommend. - 9/30/2018read 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 David BrownNXTSTEP is one of the best law firms in North Alabama.

- 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 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 Kari AschenbachI trust NXTSTEP for any family law matter.

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 Lindsey BarronOur family has been working with NXT Step Family Law for the past year. We could not be happier with their dedication to our case and diligence in working to ensure that our children were safe and thriving.

Thank you for giving our family the peace of mind we needed to enjoy life again! - 9/18/2018read moreread less

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. - 1/04/2019read moreread less Sara HardinWe are working with Ms.Hickman love her so far!!

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.

I always felt like I had someone in my corner that was ethical, very knowledgeable of legal precedent and Alabama statutes, and fair in giving a fair assessment of the situation at any given point in time. I truly credit Kris's wise decisions to helping make my home life more stable and safe. The entire team at NXTSTEP, from Coby to Hannah to Katie to Kennedy to Taylor were always extremely responsive, professional, and kind.

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

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.

- Anna HollandKris 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 Kimberly SextonWe couldn't have asked for better attorney's than Kris and Coby!

She understands technology, its impacts on our daily lives and how to use it. She understands the process and how to use it to navigate the most difficult situations. She was patient where I was impatient, helpful, attentive and only billed when absolutely necessary. She has been a dream to work with and I'm so glad I did. She resolved my case to the satisfaction of everyone involved and I'm very happy to be moving forward to the next chapter of my life. If I have to call her to deal with anything on this matter again, I most certainly will do that. I can't recommend Kris and her team enough. - 1/04/2019read moreread less

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 AmberAwesome Lawyer!

She has been wonderful. - 6/21/2015read 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 Trey MooreCoby and his team were awesome! - 2/28/2022read moreread less

As soon as he saw the situation beginning to escalate, he guided me through the PFA process. He was very professional and knowledgeable in the courtroom. During the trial he kept me calm and on task.

He always went the extra mile to make sure the right steps were being taken! - 1/01/2016read moreread less DanielFlawless Mr. Boswell is quite possibly the most accurate and aggressive man in his field.
