Her successes have been recognized by the American College of Trial Lawyers, Chambers & Partners, and the New York Journal Verdict Hall of Fame, among other organizations.

Alex represents hundreds of women and men who survived childhood sexual assault while in custody of various states’ juvenile justice systems. She has joined the fight against the Alexander Brothers, real estate moguls who used their wealth and prominence to engage in a sprawling sex trafficking scheme. Alex has also led litigation exposing Uber’s failure to prevent thousands of sexual assaults annually.

Before beginning her law practice, Alex was honored to serve as law clerk to two of the country’s top jurists: the Honorable Merrick B. Garland, then a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and the Honorable Stephen G. Breyer, Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
