Excellent presentation and legal knowledge to come out victorious even when it seemed the entire system was against my victory.

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.

- 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 anonymousTruly a Blessing Kris went above and beyond the call of duty to advise me on my rights in my divorce.

- KellyHonest, 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 highly recommend Kris and Hannah! - 2/05/2020read 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. - 1/04/2019read moreread less Prudent MahambaI really don't know how to appreciate Mr. Ethan for all he did was perplexing, I've received my profit and withdrew from my trading account to my local bank. seeing many recommendations from investors worth it because you're Awesome!

- Kasey Dodd LandrethNXTSTEP is nothing short of amazing! I consulted with Kris years ago when she was at another firm and when I learned she’d opened her own, followed her. You couldn’t find a better team to work with. To date, Kris and Coby have handled 2 of my custody modifications. And the last was so expertly worded by Coby and Cheryl, it’s saved me a visit to court for another mod (at least it won’t be initiated by me). This team knows our judges. Knows the right experts. And is highly regarded in their community. You can’t go wrong. - 10/15/2021read moreread less Dawn BoyerNXTSTEP Family Law group is one of the most intensely customer service-oriented law group my husband and I have had the pleasure to do business with. Nora Hickman is prompt in responding to inquiries (phone or email), and has an excellent grasp of family law and opportunities to positively advance the cause of her clients. She has worked closely with us over the last seven months on a difficult and challenging emergency custody for a family member. Nora offered the best and wisest advice, and guided us through the process where we were comfortable with her ability to the end of our legal issue with a positive outcome. I would HIGHLY recommend using Nora Hickman and the NXTSTEP law firm for any legal family issues (custody, family law, divorce, etc.). They did not dissapoint! (And their prices and billing were fair and we feel they did not overcharge for the hours they provided for service.) - 1/16/2025read moreread less Courtney BradyHands down the best attorney 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.

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.

I thought I was in a impossible place, but they showed me my rights and how important my case was to them. I wasn't alone with NXTSTEP.

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
- Nyla McCoyProfessional yet personable. - 8/03/2019read 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 Cody RichardsonGreat representation!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

- MelissaFamily matters Kris was recommended by my coworker. I was really apprehensive about the process and painful experience I knew was coming. She handled everything with poise, knew the law & reassured me that everything would work out. She and her paralegal were responsive to any questions I had and guided me through my divorce with no drama. I'm grateful that she is a family lawyer who listens and cares about her clients needs. I would highly recommend NxtStep Family Law for your legal counsel in domestic matters. You will get highly skilled & knowledgeable advice for your attorney that is invaluable. - 8/23/2024read moreread less Jason KigerKris and Hannah are amazing!! From our first meeting throughout the 15 month process, they were welcoming, understanding, dedicated, knowledgeable, and committed to representing me to the best of their abilities.

Kris and Hannah were absolutely the best decision my husband and I made in selecting a legal team. They took the time to get to know me as a person as well as the entire story and the case. They worked so very hard for me and it showed it court. I truly thank them from the very bottom of my heart ❤️ . - 2/01/2020read moreread less Kelly SThank 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
