Legal Services & Lawyers

With over 32 years experience, we have seen a wide variety of legal issues. We are aware of the problems people encounter as they deal with family law issues. Since virtually every case will settle without going to a final trial, we focus on finding or creating solutions through negotiations. We strongly encourage the use of Collaborative Law in almost every case, but sometimes it is inappropriate or the other attorney is not a Collaborative attorney. Then, we are prepared to work through the litigation approach, to the extent necessary. As a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law since 1984, I have a great deal of experience in resolving cases through trials, mediations, negotiations and Collaborative Law.

Karen A. Alexander is a graduate of Baylor University, School of Law. Mrs. Alexander is the owner of Alexander & Associates and specializes in criminal cases. Since opening her own law office, Ms. Alexander has successfully negotiated and tried criminal cases in both County Courts and District Courts throughout Denton, Dallas and Tarrant Counties. A prosecutor has described Ms. Alexander as "a damn good lawyer" and a Judge commented that Ms. Alexander demonstrated superior trial skills and even went so far as to discuss the quality of Ms. Alexander's closing argument with other defense lawyers in chambers.

Prior to opening her own firm, Mrs. Alexander worked for the Denton County District Attorney's Office as a criminal prosecutor. Mrs. Alexander has conducted fifty or more court hearings as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney, more than fifty jury trials. The court room is where Mrs. Alexander feels at home. When negotiations fall through or a prosecutor just doesn't want to see their case for what it is, Mrs. Alexander is ready to play ball inside of the courtroom. Alexander & Associates is a trial lawyers firm.
