Alexandria Gwyn Foster - Houston, TX

I am very happy I had Alex Gwyn Foster on my side to get my divorce settled in a complete and fair manner. She is first class. From start to finish, Alex knows the law, understands the strategy, and worked tirelessly to resolve my suit to a final and fair solution. Her work brought tremendous peace of mind through a very unsettled time when my ex-wife decided to walk away. Alex also knows the courts and the system to best address all the unexpected turns in the road my case presented. Alex has her mind on the big picture and her focus on the details. Now that I am through the process, and happy with the fair resolution Alex achieved, I can be a better father and still have the means to provide for my children as I intended all along. Faced with all the complications that came with my divorce, Alex was able to make the law work for me. I highly recommend Alex Gwyn Foster.

From day one, minute one, Alex was professional, sympathetic and 100% on my side--fighting for me. Alex knows the law, what works/doesn't work, and how to get a decision you can be happy with. I went "off book" a bit during my divorce and Alex guided me to the best outcome for me. I cannot recommend her and her team enough nor can I thank her enough for her hard work! Also, her para legal Lauren was amazing too!

I was referred to Alex by a friend who absolutely loved working with Alex. From the first consultation to the signing of the decree I was amazed by her professionalism and eagerness to fight for me. I had to fight to get 50% custody of our children and as stubborn as opposing counsel was, Alex able to get it done. She is very knowledgeable and my confidence in her grew with every interaction. I can't thank her and her staff enough for the outstanding service she provided. She truly cares about her clients and I would consider her a friend now. I will forever be grateful for the work she put into getting me what was right and fair during my divorce.

She is a great lawyer! She supported me of all she had and she could. She helped me get more than what I wanted can’t be more grateful for her and her services!!!

I couldn't give Alex and her team a higher recommendation. I felt like she was definitely the best lawyer to have in my corner representing my interests. Very knowledgeable of the law and came up with more than just the standard options when it came to my divorce.

I am beyond grateful that I have had the good fortune of being represented by Alex. I am a father of an amazing three year old boy. I was very scared when his mother and I began a custody battle. It was the last thing I could have ever wanted. I wanted to make sure I can always do everything I can to ensure he grows up in a healthy way. His parents fighting was something I always wanted to protect him from. My fear of this was multiplied by the fact that I had heard from countless people that dads have an insurmountable uphill legal battle, and that they have great difficulty having their voices heard. I had also heard the general stereotype of lawyers as being unethical/ only motivated by fiscal gain regardless of how it affects others. I believe Alex is the opposite of that stereotype. Regardless of gender, Alex will fight to ensure you are heard. Especially if it is the right thing for the child. Fortunately, with Alex's guidance, we have finalized a joint custody arrangement where both his mother and I have equal voices in making decisions for my son. My son will get an equal amount of time between his mother and I, and we will both be able to contribute to ensuring he gets the love and guidance he needs. Alex and her team also took fiscal constraints into account to do all they to resolve the matter in the most cost-efficient way possible. Their accounting team worked with me as well to ensure that everything was doable. Alex is logical, ethical, responsive, highly effective, punctual, extremely knowledgeable, and a genuinely good person. Her efforts will undoubtedly have a positive impact on my son's life growing up and thereafter --for that I cannot express my gratitude appropriately. Thank you very much Alex!

Alexandria Gwyn Foster has represented me for a few years now. It hasn’t been easy, but she stuck by my side without judgement of my bad facts and has always been very straight forward with everything. She’s very meticulous with her work and has always been available for advice anytime I needed it. Literally, anytime. I feel like I’m talking to a friend when I talk to Alex. If you’re looking for a caring, personable & dedicated attorney, Alex is your person.

Alex is the best!!! From the consultation to the closing of my case, she was always so thorough and communicative! I felt safe with her and knew she wouldn’t stop fighting for me! I would highly recommend her!

I was so fortunate to be assigned Alex as the associate in my divorce case and cannot begin to express my gratitude for her exceptional competence, professionalism, and compassion in one of the most difficult and confusing times of my life--and as the second lawyer on my case. After experiencing what can only be described as a complete fiasco with my previous, local lawyer in my temporary orders hearing and the lead-up to it, I was distraught and being told by everyone I knew, and every local lawyer that because of the politics of the judge in my case, I was hopeless and I should just accept my fate and settle for a meager standard custody situation of my children, for whom I had always been not simply the primary but typically the sole caregiver. Alex and Skillern Firm confidently took over my case--from over 250 miles away--and were true advocates, who mapped out a clear plan and walked me all the way through it, steering me through what felt like an endless minefield with excellent, prompt communication, explaining every step clearly and kindly. When allegations, bullying, and intimidation tactics were thrown our way, Alex never flinched or suggested that we were out or that I should accept defeat. She was my champion and never backed down. Alex is acutely aware of traps and snares in the dark forest of custody and divorce and even small town politics, but she prevails --and I did--because she is the smartest, the cleverest, and the most tenacious. She dug me out of a hopeless hole and turned my case around. Though the retainer for Skillern Firm was not inexpensive, it was an exceptional value for the service and excellence I received, FAR more than what I received for the same money with the previous, local firm and in the end, they saved me a ton of time and money with great strategy and persistence. I would not hesitate to hire them again or refer my friends to them. Thank you Alex!

I greatly appreciate Alexandria patience with me and my concerns. I explained to Alex that I wanted to protect my finances, property, and the interest of my child. Also, that my ex doesn’t plan to contest, however my anxiety was on high thinking he would fight me. Alexandria assured me that she was ready for a fight, she explained in detail what could and could not take place. Alex stayed in touch with me, kept me informed on all details of my divorce to the very end. My divorce ended well and Alex got my finances, property, and the interest of my child protected. Yes, I would Highly Recommend Alexandria, Thank you, Alexandria & Skillern Firm,

When Alex joined my custody case within the Skillern law firm, she was thrown into an extremely high conflict case with all sorts of the worst issues and allegations that can be thrown around when the going gets tough i.e. alleged rape of a child, CPS allegations at your door, abuse allegations during a home study, etc. Not once did Alex suggest we bow to the intimidation tactics of the other party. She was knowledgeable and assertive and encouraged me to stay the course. In the end, I went from standard non-primary to primary custodial parent. I was told by EVERYONE this would be impossible and to basically just be happy with extended standard possession. I refused to listen and Alex was willing to fight for me and my child. She looks and sounds young and to another lawyer, she may not seem like a threat initially but she should not be underestimated as she has bull dog tenacity and when the other party or party's lawyer tries their hand at a power play they are not entitled to, Alex will absolutely be the first one to shut them down. She was not arrogant and was always willing to listen. Additionally, Alex made sure that the signed custody agreement stated I would get any child support overages I had paid sent back to me. When the other party tried not to pay, Alex stayed on top of calling the OAG Child Support office and sending them whatever paperwork or information they needed and I was able to get over $4,000 paid back to me. Even one of the employees in the Child Support office said she never saw that actually happen before. It's unfortunate, but that's how the system works unless you have someone with chess-like skills who is willing to put in the time and effort. Alex showed the system that dads are just as important as moms and my family is grateful for her guidance and efforts.

I highly recommend Alexandria Gwyn as a divorce attorney. She made a very difficult time in my life a little easier. She knows that the person she is representing is a real person, who is experiencing real pain because of their situation. She took the time to explain things to me efficiently and clearly. She understands family law well and is proficient in implementing those laws. I am very thankful for Alex and the Skillern Firm for all they did to help me navigate the legal side of my divorce.

Alex has been amazing to work with and I highly recommend her. During an incredibly difficult time Alex was able to help me navigate it all, and figure out what was best for me and my son. She fought for and advocated for me. Alex is incredibly knowledgeable and her instincts were always spot on. During such a trying time in my life, I am incredibly thankful to have had Alex and the wonderful people at Skillern Law.

I highly recommend Alex Gwyn Foster as a divorce/family attorney. My divorce was quite a bit more contested than I anticipated, and Alex was there for me every step of the way. If there was an issue, I always got a timely response. Alex was always willing to explain things I did not understand, and she was very thorough when doing so. Much of the contention revolved around my children, and I always knew that Alex and the rest of the team at Skillern Law were fighting fervently for my children's best interest. About 6 months after my divorce was final, I encountered a new issue and had to file a modification. Without hesitation, I went back to Alex to handle this issue. I will always be so thankful that I hired Alex to handle my divorce! I can't imagine going through it without her.

Alex Gwyn Foster made a difficult time in my life easier to work through and I highly recommend her. She is passionate and experienced. Thank you Alex for all you’ve helped me with.

Truthfully, I am astounded, Alex is by far the absolute BEST attorney you could ever ask for. I'm not just saying this because of how my case turned out but because she truthfully is the best of the best. She is extremely fast at replies to guide you through situations even on holidays and after hours as well as if she hasn't heard from you in a while. That alone says enough BUT is not all by far. She is also very quick and extremely diligent in making sure that everything needed to come to a resolution, whether court or settling is done for the absolutely best possible outcome for you. She is also extremely honest and will tell you where she feels going route a or route b will get you and knows when to act. That being said, my own personal case was different and absolutely difficult from day one to proceed and handle. There were many times of feeling defeated and that I might never get my child out of an extremely harmful situation. Despite this she kept my head up and continued to push me every single day to move forward. It was clear she wasn't by any means in it for the money, but she was all in for helping my child and doing what was best for him to ensure his success in life regardless of the walls that were placed in front of us. When I say my case was a long shot and it took me putting my entire faith into my attorney, I mean it, she fought to the very end and I ended up with custody. She doesn't mess around or take your money, she truly is out there to handle WHATEVER the situation may be and beyond. To this day I still have problems and she is more than happy to respond and reach out to help me through as well as make sure that my child is doing well and being successful. That is what sets Alex apart, she's not just your attorney and then never hear from them again, she's someone who genuinely cares and wants to help to maintain what is best in the end. I assure you, you can't go wrong with Alex as your attorney and if you pass her up then you've missed out on the best of the best.
