What Our Clients Say
-
Tommy SiniardGreat professionals that understand the WHOLE process ... There is much more to it than law !! Comprehensive approach = better resolutions ! We recommend !! - 7/07/2016read 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 Ravon IrvinNora Hickman handled my custody case back in 2019 and she was absolutely amazing. She's empathetic and knowledgeable. She gets the job done, plus some.

Everything from step one was laid out and explained perfectly. Every step of the case Mr. Boswell was ten steps ahead and Very well prepared.

It was very lengthy and ugly,but Kris was always prepared and encouraging. She always answered our questions and kept us informed on what to expect next. - 7/19/2016read 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
- JoshHardest working attorney and staff We retained Kristina for a child custody case. Not only was there continuous contact from her or the staff but the hard work and effort by all of them got us a win in court. I’ve never seen someone so prepared as Kristina. She was ready for anything thrown our way. We could not have asked for a better attorney and staff who we now consider part of our family. - 2/01/2021read moreread less JohnExcellent 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 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. - 10/17/2017read 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. - 9/18/2018read moreread less Lakeshia WheelerMy husband and I are so grateful that we found Robert Autry for our child support case.

Thank you Kris, I will be forever grateful to how you've helped me! - 3/10/2017read 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 anonymousCaring, Honest, Ethical Kris is one of the most ethical and truly caring lawyers I’ve ever met.

- Lisa BrizendineWords 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 SisSquadI 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!

Kris's wise counsel, advice, and great communication at critical junctures helped bring peace and confidence to an otherwise chaotic set of circumstances! When the situation required quick responses to situations, or a motion to be filed, she was always on top of the situation. 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. They truly take a team approach and I would recommend them to anyone needing help in the areas of family law, child custody issues, divorce (contested or uncontested).

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.

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

- anonymousHonest, 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 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 Christina SkinitisI can’t say enough kind things about everyone that works for this firm.

We were tasked with helping a young man get himself out of a very bad unstable family situation. Kris met with us as we had absolutely no idea how or what to do for him. Kris prepared us and helped us navigate the waters from our side. It couldn’t have went smoother. - 10/17/2018read moreread less Leigh Daniel Family LawAs an attorney in family law, I’ve used Kris Sexton as a mediator many times.

- 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 Samkk MahlanguBitcoin is the greatest investment ever I was so ambitious in getting bitcoin but due to income I was not able to gain much I was introduced to Mrs Donald Maureen who multiplied my bitcoin it was like a dream but definitely came true so unbelievable until I got my profit in my wallet I invested $1,000 I got $12,000 cash out in 6 working days.am happy am blessed if you interested in trading your bitcoin you can contact the best trader Mrs Donald Maureen on this Email: donaldmaureen504@gmail.com or Contact her on Whats-App: +15632794193 - 4/15/2022read moreread less Beverly BarkerThis entire office is awesome.
