Excellent Defense Attorney

I was enjoying a day boating on the river near Havasu. I was approached by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and given a frivolous citation for a misdemeanor. My attorney, Mr. Provinziano was able to successfully negotiate with the D.A.’s office and get the charge reduced from a misdem...eanor to an infraction, so it would not hang over my career and future! Mr. Provinziano demonstrated great attention to detail, especially in his representation of myself in court. He never gave up and persisted to see my case through to the end in an aggressive and thorough manner. As a client, customer service was excellent and always worked to help answer any question I had throughout the proceedings. Thank you Mr. Provinziano!

Reliable and trustworthy lawyer!

I initially called Alphonse for an emergency family law matter. I was able to speak with him the same day, meet him the next and file for an ex-parte within a few days from meeting with him. Myself and my wife initially observed that he was caring, knowledgeable and responsive. We further observed t...hat he was a very capable and trustworthy lawyer with an ethical approach - a rare thing to find in an attorney nowadays, especially in Los Angeles. Alphonse was able to effectively handle all hurdles in our case including jurisdiction and a difficult judge. The end result was fantastic, a huge part to how well Alphonse prepared us, witnesses and paperwork - with excellent attention to detail. I have contacted Alphonse many times throughout the case through email, phone calls and text messages and I always had a response within a very reasonable time (sometimes instantly). I have nothing more to ask from a lawyer! I would certainly hire Alphonse again in case i ever need to go to family court. I certainly would recommend this lawyer to family and friends in need of family law assistance.

Great representation

On Sep 29th 2013 I was in an ultra cation that sub sequentially led to my arrest where I was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault and battery. I consulted with Mr. Pronivinziano upon which he took on my case. We went to court And we were presented with a plea bargain by the DA which we... refused and this made The DA very angry and she raise my charges to felonies and tried raising my bail and have me arrested again, Mr Provinziano used very aggressive defense tactics and was able to squash The DA'S ill attempt and bail stayed the same, he then concentrated on my defense. After extensive litigation and negotiations with the DA, he was able to get the assault charges dropped completely and the battery charge dropped to a misdemeanor which carries no jail time and only a minor fine ( thank God ) . Mr. Provinziano is very trustworthy and has a very high level of concern and well being of his client's. His aggressiveness and great defense tactics got me out of a bind and for that I am very great-full, THANK'S AL U R THE BEST..... :) I would recommend Mr. Provinziano to everyone in the need of legal representation without a doubt.

Alphonse F. Provinciano, a Gentleman, and a Scholar.

I am a regular person, not high income, not a celebrity. I am writing this of my own volition. I want to share my story with anyone out there who has given up on lawyers, like I had, so maybe they may see a ray of hope, as I did. Alphonse F. Provinciano, Esq., Bar No. 233231, represented me in a divo...rce case where I retained him two weeks before trial. He and his associates came in and gave me the personal attention that my case so absolutely deserved, even though 50 ( and I'm not exaggerating) other attorneys had rejected my matter. When no one else was able to settle the case, including the other attorneys and the court, they came in and were able to settle the entire case on the date of trial, getting me almost everything I wanted; including the house, lifetime spousal support, and a commitment from my very stubborn ex-husband to attend co-parenting classes with me, to better help our very special needs child. The attention to detail, especially in representing me in court in an aggressive manner, where he never gave up on me, offered excellent customer service. He was very attentive to me. He has had the patience of a saint, considering I was severely anxious from the get go. I don't speak Legalese, so any detail that was overlooked by myself, he helped me to understand, and he fixed. I cannot express in words the gratitude I feel for Mr. Provinciano, and his team. Without them, I don't know where I would be right now. And he will continue to help me with anything pertaining to this particular case, if something pops up unexpectedly. Thank you Mr. Provinciano. You have changed my life for the better, and restored my faith in humanity.

Child custody case

I was very pleased with how Attorney Provinziano represented me in my child custody court case. He and his staff were always professional and their customer service was outstanding. I always felt like they cared and were extremely interested in providing me with their very best. Attorney Provinziano...'s attention to detail and aggressive manner in court was exceptional as he never give up on me nor my child. He was well prepared and briefed my case extremely well citing the relevant laws where as the other lawyer appeared to be ill prepared. He was great as he proved how my child's father was actually in custody and was not taking care of her as he had claimed. Once again, I was very happy with the service that he provided and would definitely recommend him and his staff.
