GOOD FATHER SHOULD COUNT

I am the father of two son's 13 and 11 and they are a true Blessing. I grown up with out a father and being my son's dad is most important to me. I have been married for 16 and a half years, and my wife became unhappy being married to me I had not cheated nor been abusive, but she filed for divorc...e a week after she left, me and our sons. My hope is she would come home but that dose not seem likely. My greatest fear was that she would get custody of our boys, because i believe they would be care for best by me, I felt she was about getting as much money from me as she possibly could. She informed me she wanted to leave 10 years ago, (wanted to wait for the 10 year period because the financial part of the Calf. Law would kick in.) I have always felt father's were not fairly represented in the court room, but much to my surprise Attorney Alphonse was able to get me primary custody of my sons and child support which lowered my spousal support payment. Now my attorney and I are preparing for the last chapter and I pray I will still be able to build a future for my sons when I am no longer with them. I'am 60 years old and I have worked hard to plan for the future of my wife and sons when I am no longer with them a bad divorce could have a great effect on those plans. but i have confidence in my attorney to do his best for my sons and I. I do pray for wife that she will see the harm she is doing to herself and our family. I would like to touch basic with my attorney more often/but at the same time it may not be needed if nothing is going on. my court date has been postpone.

Posted by michael | April 07, 2015 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

traffic light ticket

First,let me say Mr. Provinziano is one of the best attorney's you will ever hire.When you call and talk to him you will get an attorney who is professional,knowledgeable and courteous listening and explaining to you what your option's are without the typical hard line nonsense and attitude lawyers c...an have. In my case he got me out of a traffic ticket (red light) saved me money,time (trips to and from orange co. to riverside co) and no points,and no boring traffic school. Believe me look at the rating's, you won't be disappointed.

Posted by Andrew | April 05, 2015 | Child Support

Excellent Legal Service and Support

Mr. Alphonse was my lawyer for a child support case. I was sincerely impressed with the dedication of Mr. Alphonse and his team for being available to me at all times and providing quick assistance and excellent customer service. He was instrumental in devising a unique solution to my problem and c...ontinued to work on it until my goals were reached. He and his team were TENACIOUS and PERSEVERED in order to get me the outcome that we wanted to achieve. I was always impressed with their professionalism and flexibility to work around my busy schedule. If you are looking for a great lawyer, Mr. Alphonse and his team should get your consideration!

Posted by Jennifer | March 03, 2015 | Personal Injury

My "Go To Guy" - Highly recommended!

I could not recommend Al any more highly! I've referred at least 5 or 10 friends to him over the last year as well, mostly for help with car accidents / personal injury issues. However, Al was super helpful when my fiance and I had a dispute with our landlord over the term of our lease. When we urgen...tly needed to reply to something, Al called us from ITALY where he was on vacation for the holidays - not every lawyer would do that! The best part was that Al helped us explore all other avenues and alternatives to negotiate with our landlord in a friendly/peaceful manor before the "nuclear option" of threatening a lawsuit, even though that route inevitably would have been more beneficial for him in terms of billing. I should also mention that everyone in Al's office is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It's clear that he has really high standards for who he brings in, as the staff is top notch. It seems like other people have been catching on to how great he is as they seem really busy lately! I seriously hope I never have to go to jail for any reason, but if I do, I'm keeping Al's number handy! This is the kind of stand-up attorney who would bail me out in a jiffy. Definitely give him a shout!

Posted by Paulo | February 18, 2015 | Child Custody

Credible and Knowledgeable!

I am a client of Atty. Alphonse F. Provinziano. He represented me during my son’s custody case in 2013. Being a father and unmarried to the child’s mother, it is a challenge to have rights even when I have my son’s custody for the longest time and have been looking after his best interest. I have had... threats from the mother to take my son away and also asked for child support even when the child has been residing with me. An ex parte hearing was requested by the mother and the judge gave the mother sole custody. The mother has used unfounded claims. Still, the court favored the mother by default. Atty. Alphonse won my case in gaining back custody and care for my son. He has been great with focusing on my strengths as a father. He encouraged honesty, and being truthful with my statements. There was no need to be too aggressive bringing up ugly truths towards the other party since what is being sought is order. His vast knowledge and experience played a great role in winning my case. After some time and even with the custody order in place, I have had struggles with the other party’s aggression. Atty. Alphonse effectively provided his objective and honest advice on the situation. He eventually handled my child support hearing in 2014 from which the mother is the one paying her share. Atty. Alphonse is respectful and tactful when dealing with his clients. His wisdom and knowledge on family court is exceptional. I will always be grateful to all that he has done for my family. Thank you again Atty. Alphonse!
