Alex is a skilled trial lawyer with over a decade of experience. His practice is focused on complex environmental litigation. Alex represents public entities in cases against large corporations responsible for significant discharges of toxic substances into the environment. These substances, which include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"), contaminate the air, soils, and drinking water, and threaten public health and the environment. Alex's cases involve claims for natural resource damages ("NRD") at some of the most polluted sites in the country.

Alex was previously employed at a prominent plaintiffs' firm in New York City, where he specialized in representing children that suffered serious cognitive and developmental injuries resulting from exposure to hazardous materials. Alex was a senior member of a team of lawyers appointed as Lead Counsel and Liaison Counsel for individuals harmed in the Flint Water Crisis, and he was responsible for handling critical aspects of the litigation, including motions and depositions of parties and experts. This work led to the negotiation of a historic $600 million settlement in 2020.

Alex graduated from Temple University School of Law, where he was on the Law Review. Alex excelled in the school's skills-intensive Integrated Trial Advocacy Program ("ITAP") and he received the Barrister's Award for outstanding trial technique. During law school, Alex interned with the Federal Defender for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Defender Association of Philadelphia, where he represented accused Philadelphians in criminal court.
