A steady, experienced hand through a difficult divorce

Alice Stubbs provided exceptional guidance during my complex divorce and custody proceedings. Her deep knowledge was immediately apparent, undoubtedly informed by her years on the bench as a District Court judge. She was a skilled negotiator in mediation, securing a fair settlement that prioritized our children's stability. While her billing is commensurate with her 30+ years of expertise, and response times could occasionally be a day or two, her strategic advice was always worth the wait. I felt completely confident with a recognized family law practitioner of her caliber. Highly recommended for sensitive family matters.
