What Our Clients Say

Patti Smith
Divorces 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 -

I 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

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. - 9/18/2016read moreread less -

Very Helpful and Professional I met with Kristina because I needed answers to questions that I thought I would never have to ask. She took time to explain to me how things worked and gave me a step by step plan of how things needed to proceed once certain criteria was met. She was understanding to my concerns and explained to me the process and differences between divorce and legal separation. She gave me options and that was what I needed. I would recommend Kristina to anyone thinking about divorce. - 5/13/2016read moreread less

Cora Meeks
My 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

Excellent lawyer and team Kris and team made a very bad situation go as smoothly as possible and were very responsive with requirements and questions. Kris was frank with expectations and never offered any unnecessary advice or guidance. The process was rather fast for my situation and over quicker than anticipated with cost being manageable. Kris also demonstrated excellent job knowledge along with local court ins and outs that seemed to benefit my needs. She also successfully guided me in mediation with an above satisfactory agreement. - 2/10/2023read 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

Kris Sexton is an exceptional family lawyer. After enduring two years of struggle and nearly losing everything dear to me, I found myself in a situation where, without her and her firm, I would have faced total loss. The decisions I had made previously complicated matters for her, yet she never judged me or allowed me to feel defeated or without options. She consistently excels in the courtroom, and even if a motion does not yield the desired outcome, her determination only intensifies, ensuring she achieves the best possible results for her clients.

I hired Coby Boswell for a high conflict custody case the end of 2024. I wish I had the time to tell you about every detail but we’d be here all day. What I can do is advise you to hire him. He’s an excellent attorney, he’s honest, to the point, and he does not tolerate nonsense. He’s very educated, compassionate, understanding, and a force in the court room. I’m proud to say that Coby has made every step of this process so much easier. He Has guided me, taught me patience, taught me how to navigate tough communication issues and so much more. He and Cheryl both were very informative and had excellent communication with me throughout the case. As a dad, fighting for rights to your kids may seem like such an uphill battle, but having Coby in your corner to help you fight that fight makes that battle seem a little more reachable. Could not have asked for a better outcome or a better attorney! I will always recommend and use Coby at NXTstep for any and all of my legal issues. - 5/15/2026read 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

Without 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

Very Responsive & Excellent at Trial Having Coby Boswell as my lawyer was the best decision I could have made during the divorce process. If I needed anything or had a question he would answer quickly. He explained processes, procedures, and documents in a way that helped me understand the details. During the trial he kept me calm and focused, and asked the most pertinent questions to get to the underlying issues of why my spouse should not have custody of our daughter. Due to this, the judge awarded me sole custody, which I truly feel was in the best interest of my child. I would definitely recommend Coby to anyone going through a divorce, especially when the welfare of a child is at risk. - 6/17/2015read 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

Kris is hands down the best attorney in Huntsville. She is super knowledgable about the law, compassionate, and genuinely cares about her clients best interests. She was there for me every step of the way with my case, and helped me obtain the outcome which I desired. Her paralegal Hannah is amazing, in fact the entire team at the firm are great. 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! - 9/18/2017read moreread less -

Kris Sexton is an exceptional family lawyer. After enduring two years of struggle and nearly losing everything dear to me, I found myself in a situation where, without her and her firm, I would have faced total loss. The decisions I had made previously complicated matters for her, yet she never judged me or allowed me to feel defeated or without options. She consistently excels in the courtroom, and even if a motion does not yield the desired outcome, her determination only intensifies, ensuring she achieves the best possible results for her clients. My family and I are profoundly grateful to Kristina Sexton and NXTSTEP FAMILY LAW. - 8/27/2024read moreread less

Couldn’t have done it without her Ok to start I had no idea what to do or how to handle what was being thrown at me and I reached out to nxtstep and they hit the groin running and I couldn’t have been more happy. Kris and Coby are amazing and I never felt any doubt that they were fighting as hard as they could for me. Also a big shout out to Hannah for alway being available to answer any questions I had, and making the most difficult thing in my life as comfortable as possible. All I can say is I will always use them for anything I need in the future. - 2/01/2021read moreread less -

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. - 1/04/2017read moreread less -

Custody/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 -

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 -

Deftly 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

I 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! - 1/04/2019read moreread less -

Beyond Words When I walked in to meet Mr Boswell, not only was he professional, but was personable, considerate, and kind. I was emotionally and physically aess, so when I say kind, I mean he was warm calm and concerned. Not at all what I had expected from the 'lawyer idea' that society provides. Throughout my process, he was always informative and went the extra mile to explain and clarify everything, keeping me well informed. I may have hired him to represent me, but we worked as a team for the best possible outcome. Mr Boswell worked fully in my best interest at all times, he was also available, knowledgeable, courteous, and always on top of things. I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for anything regarding family law. He is an exceptional attorney and an upstanding person. - 6/01/2015read 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

Kris is a true professional who is aggressive, fair and unwavering under pressure. As a single father, I was uncertain how fair I would be treated in a child custody case but Kris went to work and got it done for me. Her knowledge of the law and how to apply it is second to none in my view and we were able to come away with sole physical custody of my son without going to court which was amazing! Kris and her team are a blessing to me and my family; you will get the best representation when hiring her and her firm. - 1/14/2023read moreread less

Extraordinary 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
