Verified ClientHired Attorney 2023-2024I 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.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024From 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!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2023-2024I 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.

Attorney Information
Overview
Alexandria genuinely cares about her clients and has a passion for helping people, especially children. During her time at Loyola University College of Law, she focused her coursework on family law and criminal matters. Alexandria was the philanthropy chair of her service fraternity, Phi Alpha Delta, and won several service awards and national recognition for the chapter as a result of her dedication to local charities. During this time, she was selected for the Gillis Long Student Pro Bono Program and interned for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). While at CASA, Alexandria helped the New Orleans chapter build a database to compare and track all children who have been in the foster care system for the last 20 years.
Alexandria honed her courtroom skills as a student practitioner in the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office. Alexandria’s time spent with CASA and the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office inspired her to become a family law attorney. Upon moving to Texas, Alexandria joined a family law firm where she assisted with hearings, trials and mediations in Brazos, Brazoria, Grimes, Washington and Franklin Counties.
Alexandria prides herself on providing representation that is both professional and compassionate. She strives to handle matters amicably for her clients but, if necessary, is also ready to vigorously defend their interests in court. Alexandria understands that a family law dispute is often the most painful experience her clients will ever go through in their lives, and she approaches each case with compassion and concern.
Outside the Office, Alexandria is devoted to her family and community. She enjoys cooking, reading, and spending time with her husband, two children, and rescue dogs. Alexandria also volunteers her time with local legal aid programs, reflecting her ongoing commitment to making a positive impact in her community.
