Alex P. Sutton
Owner, Partner
I’m a problem solver. I believe in having integrity, empathy and tenacity. I care deeply about my clients, and I think our relationship is an integral part of the results obtained. I compete every day on behalf of my clients and am personally invested in achieving results. I recognize the enormous responsibility and trust my clients are placing in me and am therefore dedicated to making a positive difference in each one of their lives.
Our firm is created of the idea that you can go far with hard work, honesty and grit. We believe in deeds, not words. Who you work with is just as important as what you do for a living. I can truly say I work with exceptional people. One of the most valuable things my firm can do for clients is show them their worth and demonstrate their importance. We have much to offer, standing on our own accomplishments, energy, and a fierce commitment to each client.
I believe in devouring life. When I am not practicing family law, you will find me with my two children and my amazing wife. I am also deeply passionate about the outdoors and spend my free time camping, fly fishing and kayaking in northwest rivers.
