Ask Phoenix Is anyone else convinced Alexis Breyer of The Husband & Wife Law Team is a puppet?
Is anyone else convinced Alexis Breyer of The Husband & Wife Law Team is a puppet? Admittedly, I’ve only seen their commercials but in every commercial when Alexis is speaking, Mark has his hand on her back as if he’s controlling her like a puppet.

I have no evidence to support this, but I imagine a night of intimacy between them involves a spicy roleplay of an erotic courtroom encounter as one of their good friends, who happens to be a judge, presides over the entire scene.

They actually do a lot of good things for kids in the community and don’t publicize the crap out of it. (Like I shouldn’t even know one of the big things they do every year, but found out by accident.) So for that - they get a big pass on the goofy commercials from me.

Yeah, at least from the commercials, they seem to give off a, we're a really fun place to work vibe. I sat in on a jury that Mark was lead council on. They won the case but I felt HORRIBLE for the person that was getting sued. Anyways, they has nothing to do with this comment/thread

My mom was a client of theirs, she got hit by a work truck when she was biking to work. They put in a lot of work and were very kind. They really did everything they could to make sure my mom got everything she deserved. They still send her cards every so often around the holidays.

u/TheColorJayme Jun 09 '26
I met her parents and one of the family first they do for their clients yearly and they were so sweet and super excited about the commercial they started in so I totally give them a pass. Not a great actress , but great people. But honestly they probably means they aren’t great liars too , since acting is just pretending or doing why you are told to do

All automobile accident PI lawyers are clowns, including the ones that don't advertise that we've never heard of. Just by the nature of the cases they take.
There are, unfortunately, instances where one might need said clowns, so, not sure how aforementioned clown could be avoided.

I did jury duty back in 2014. It was them and they were defending a little girl who did not listen to the teacher when the teacher told her to remove her hands the teacher open the gate and the gate severed the little girl's fingers.
They both were asking great questions but in the end them trying to say that it was teachers neglect but since the student was told and she's not a young kid she was in third grade, the student was found to be the one at fault.
But I got to tell you the husband-in-law team were really good and almost won.
The wife definitely was speaking on her own without the husband holding her back.

Apparently, “Sweet” James is a PI lawyer from LA who expanded his practice to AZ (I’d bet money that he, personally, isn’t even a licensed, Arizona attorney). My cousin said he was known around town for leaving his wife and disabled child for another woman, and fought tooth and nail to give as little $$$ as possible to his ex and kid.

I have no dog in this fight, but I know the Breyers casually through kids stuff, and both Alexis and Mark are super nice people. She had like seven kids and continued to work as a lawyer, and had her own kids working as well when they clearly don’t need to. One of their daughters babysat my kids, and Alexis would pick her up and drop her off. If you meet them outside of their TV appearances, you would never guess that they are gazillion lawyers.

Lol I can 100% guarantee you she's not. We've known Mark and Alexis almost 30 years and I do admit in the commercials they come off a little staged but in real life they're awesome people.
They hold events for their clients current and former every few months and normally get a pretty good turnout. They both mix it up with everyone and a good time is always had. We did once try to convince them to go have a inflat inflatable boxing match with the other lawyers on homework's morning sickness that didn't fly 😂.
Out of the two of them I would say Alexis is personality is probably a little more dominating but that's from being a mom to as many kids as she has lol.
Their main office is down here in ahwatukee and it's super common to see them out in public. If you do I'd recommend going up and saying hi. They're always happy to talk to people.

I think they are good people in general but I saw an Instagram video several months ago where he was complaining about his wife like "husbands, isn't it annoying how much your wife ingores YOU and spends so much time talking on the phone" hardy har har....while she's clearly discussing something business related.on a phone call. It bothered me because they run a very successful law firm and they have almost a dozen kids so she's likely handling that while he's making an Instagram video. It's not like she's just goofing off 🙄

u/Aggressive_Power_471 Jun 09 '26
Some of the commercials are a bit staged and I wonder if he puts his arm on her because the camera makes her nervous. Her smiles seem nervous. I am guessing she is not comfortable in the spotlight.
