Kris Sexton is truly one of the hardest-working and most ethical human beings I've ever known. She handled my divorce in 2021 and to this day I am so thankful she represented me. She TRULY cares and has an incredible heart for families, and children in particular. Huntsville is so lucky to have her. - 10/10/2024read moreread less - Anthony and TaraCares for Clients Coby is great in court. He really cares for his clients and their situations. He was passionate about my situation and made sure that our case was properly heard. If he feels that something is not going right or anything is unfair or unjust, he is not afraid to stand up for his clients, in and outside of the court room. - 6/08/2015read moreread less anonymousDeftly navigated a difficult situation to a satisfying conclusion Kris is an expert in all areas of the art. 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. - 6/11/2018read moreread less AmberAwesome Lawyer!

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 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

- anonymousBest child custody and divorce lawyer in town I was recommended Kris through a friend. When I met with her she was straight to the point. She had a plan of action and told me exactly what I needed to do. I hired her as my divorce lawyer that day. We battled it out with my ex for about 9 months. Her and her office were always very responsive to my emails and calls. She advised me on what to do and what not to do. She gave me best and worst case scenarios up front. She went up against 3 different lawyers with my ex and we always came out on top. She also went up against a very aggressive judge and we had several judgements in our favor throughout the 9 months. I got full custody of my kids and got to keep my house. She is a laid back but also a straight to the point kinda lawyer, which I love!

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 EmilyCustody and adoption process Our case was very unique and took several years to resolve.

In a difficult situation like divorce, it's always reassuring to know that you have a professional working diligently on your behalf.

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

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

Danielle Cassalls and Heather Hoffman have been spectacular in every facet of my case. Always prepared, responsive, and efficient I came to trust their advice. They got the job done!! - 7/25/2025read moreread less SusanCustody/LegalGuardian Ms. Kris Sexton was a court appointed attorney! I couldn't have picked anyone any better than she was for us. She was attentive and very professional. Kris was knowledgeable and gave the best advise as to the legal field of which we were facing. My grandson had already been with me for most of his life and I needed the legal grounds to make the necessary decisions best for him. She dressed and conducted herself before the judge in a professional manner. I would hire her if I ever needed help in another legal matter. I would recommend her to friend or stranger. You can't go wrong if your looking for a good attorney. - 2/13/2016read 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
- Amanda HallI am so thankful that my friend recommended Nxtstep when I found out that I would be going through a divorce. Nora Hickman is so knowledgeable & is great at what she does. She not only gave me encouragement through such a hard time in my life but also fought for me when at times, I didn’t even feel like fighting for myself. You cannot go wrong with this law firm and their sweet, helpful & understanding staff. - 1/04/2019read moreread less Amy SimsFamily law is inherently a sensitive thing. Coby Boswell and NXTSTEP Family Law made me feel comfortable and understood from the get-go. I felt like Coby genuinely cares about his clients and works hard to make sure they're taken care of. I trust Coby 100% with any future family law needs I may have and would highly recommend him to anyone needing his services! - 3/26/2021read 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
