Alex McCready

Alex McCready is a family law attorney of The Harris Law Firm in Colorado. His practice focuses on divorce, child custody, and protection orders. He is driven to represent people who are facing difficult or painful circumstances, helping them use the legal system as a pathway toward stability and a stronger future. His experience as a non-profit attorney helping survivors informs his approach, and he views family law as an opportunity to help clients move beyond harmful or unhealthy situations and toward better versions of themselves as parents and people. In cases of domestic violence and sexual assault, Alex works with clients holistically to ensure their safety and emotional well-being while also moving cases forward constructively.

Raised in a family of attorneys, Alex grew up surrounded by legal discussions about justice and service to others. That early exposure, combined with a college internship at an immigration nonprofit, solidified his decision to pursue a legal career. He saw firsthand how vulnerable people can be without access to legal knowledge or resources, so he was determined to be someone who could stand beside those who need dependable counsel.

Alex brings a strong academic and analytical foundation to his practice. He earned his B.A. in Spanish and International Business from St. Edward’s University, his J.D. from Cleveland State University, and a Ph.D. in History from Georgia State University. He is licensed to practice in Ohio, Texas, and Colorado.

Clients benefit from Alex’s strengths as a writer, researcher, and careful editor. He is precise with language and strategic in crafting arguments, whether drafting motions or preparing for court. At the same time, he understands that effective advocacy requires collaboration and practical problem-solving.

Alex approaches client relationships with empathy and realism. He works to understand each client’s experiences, goals, and the emotional weight of their case. He knows clients feel most supported when their concerns are addressed directly by someone who genuinely cares about the outcome. When difficult news must be delivered, he does so with compassion and prepares clients for realistic outcomes.

Outside of work, Alex enjoys rock climbing and is an avid NBA fan. He is also the proud father of two children who keep him curious, active, and inspired.

    I would 100% utilize their services again
    “In early 2025 I found myself in a situation where I needed a competent and experienced tax attorney. Having had no prior experience in this area, I turned to google to do some research. Harris Law Firm came up as one of the top firms in the area. I narrowed my prospect list down to three local firms and set up a consultation call with each, to see who I felt could best serve and support my needs. Without a doubt, the initial conversation I had with Steve Cizik at Harris Law far exceeded the other consultations. I hired Steve within 48 hours and never looked back. Steve and his paralegal Jacqueline Sexson have been so easy to work with. They are incredibly knowledgeable and informative. They entertained all of my questions, and I had a lot! They explained in great detail what the process would look like and set my expectations appropriately. They were timely, thorough and detailed in their correspondence with me and always interacted in a way that gave me great confidence (and hope) in their ability to get an outcome we would all be happy with. That outcome came on January 23, 2026 and it couldn't have been any better. To say I am relieved is an understatement. I would 100% utilize their services again, although I'm hoping I never need to! And I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs an expert in navigating tax issues. I'm beyond grateful! Thank You Steve + Jackie”

    I will remain a loyal client
    “As an independent author, I hired attorney Cody Riley to educate and advise me on copyrighting and other legal implications during the publishing process. He was thorough, professional, and explained things in terms I could understand. I feel more confident and protected now in my craft. I will remain a loyal client, and I would recommend Attorney Riley to anyone looking for advice, education, and/or a trustworthy professional.”

    It's the little things they do great
    “The Harris group came when my previous legal team was not pulling their weight. Heather and Keegan have been amazing at restoring my rights as a father. I CANNOT recommend the Harris group enough. Thank you Heather. Thank you Keegan. Also, they have fun soap shaped like an owl and some pretty cool candles too. It's the little things they do great. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.”
