5 Stars from me!
“Alex was a great help to me in my situation and is not afraid to speak up for your rights while being professional about it. I would highly recommend him for someone who will defend and speak up for your rights while maintaining a professional demeanor to all parties. This kind of candor with reserve to be professional the whole time to all parties is a honest, rare quality I look for. So for that he gets 5 stars from me and my highest recommendation of being a great attorney.
