Testimonials
•“For the last three years (with a brief break in service), my family has had the privilege of working with Lexie. We specifically sought out her services after she moved to Cooper Levenson from the firm where our relationship originated. The reason we sought her out after she changed firms was simple: we felt like a number at the old firm. Lexie is reliable with her communications and ready to offer evenhanded advice. She takes the time to understand our issues as well - an invaluable trait for someone working with the sensitive topics involved in family law. Our family has worked with other lawyers. Lexie, with her personable approach to practicing law, is the only person we want to represent our family. ”
- Mary S.
•“There are no words to express how thankful I am to have had Alexandra Rigden represent me through my divorce. This was the scariest and most stressful time of my life and Alexandra was always there to answer a quick question, provide excellent legal advice and help guide me through tricky situations. I never felt as if I was just another client or as though my case was being put on the back burner. As a fellow lawyer, I can attest to the fact that Alexandra is an honest, ethical, highly knowledgeable and professional attorney. She will be honest with you about the strengths and weaknesses of your case, while remaining a strong advocate. I highly recommend Alexandra Rigden. ”

•“It gives me great pleasure to have had Mrs. Alexandra Rigden represent me in court for custodyof my son. I have been fighting for him for a little over two years. When looking forrepresentation she has met my needs and expectations more then can I say in writing. Mrs.Rigden is not only a super lawyer but a great friend who understands family situations. She tookher time reviewing the information and would ask questions to verify if any information wasneeded to be updated and came to court on several occasions. When you call or email her shewill respond to you the same day or even the next day. Should you need a emergency attorneyand want one who understands family situations she is phenomenal. If I personally need anattorney to represent me again she will the first one I choose. If I had to rate this attorney Iwould rate her a 10 out of 10.”
