Alphonso was selected for inclusion into the Top Attorneys of North America 2020-2021 edition by The Who's Whos Directories. Also in 2020, the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys (NAFLA) awarded Alphonso the prestigious Top 10 Attorney Award for the State of Maryland. Alphonso began his legal career as a real estate transactions attorney working for an international commercial real estate developer, negotiating commercial real estate contracts. He thought he was fulfilled in his position until a family member desperately needed the help of a tenacious family law attorney. This began a chain of events that led Alphonso to where he is today. He decided that his skills, education and background would be better utilized fighting for individuals and families in court. Alphonso immediately began the transition from a real estate transactions attorney to becoming a highly skilled and aggressive, yet compassionate litigator.
