I recently hired Mr. Provinziano to handle my child custody case. I had interviewed 3 lawyers prior to finding him and the others just did not have what I was looking for or the complete package that I wanted in someone to represent me. I had lost hope thinking I was not going to find a good lawyer in time only having less than 2 weeks til my court date but I came onto the AVVO website and saw his outstanding ratings and called him right away. He is very professional, caring and understood my case. I felt very secure handing him over my case. I did not want to lose my newborn child and I needed a lawyer to really be firm and have the integrity to get the best results and turn around previous orders. My court date was November 19, 2013. Mr. Provinziano along with another lawyer Megan Grim in his law firm both worked as a great team. Mr. Provinziano did an amazing job and I am so happy with my results. He asked for all my requests regarding visitation for the father, drug testing and custody. He knew what to say and by memory like he had known my case for a long time, which he only had less than two weeks to prepare. His fees were very reasonable and better than the prices other lawyers were asking. I would definetly recommend Mr. Provinziano. A big thank you to Mr. Provinziano and Megan for all their help and effort in my case. I will continue to work with them regarding my case in the future.

My experience with Al Provinziano and his entire team of associates and clerical staff was exceptional. I personally had interactions with Al, June, Ava, Alexis, CJ and Aleah, and every single person I spoke to or met in person went above and beyond to make me feel supported during the very stressful process of advocating for a custody arrangement that was truly in the best interest of my young children. The team joined my case post-judgement and was able to seamlessly jump in, assess the situation, and help me formulate a plan that kept me with primary custody. When I initially called the firm, my intake appointment was with June, and she made me feel like she was really invested in what was happening and reassured me that the team would be able to help me. Once I decided to move forward with hiring the team, my case was assigned to Ava as jr. counsel with Al overseeing everything. I had many phone meetings and email exchanges with Ava and her communication style is very clear and she really helped me form my court statements in a way that was concise and impactful. She's extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and was able to validate my feelings while also helping me understand what a judge would be concerned with and what to emphasize about the circumstances of my case. Al is who represented me in court negotiations, and he and his assistant Leah were both wonderful. What could have been a very stressful morning turned into a very productive negotiation between Al and my opposing counsel. Al clearly knows what he's talking about and I overheard him explaining certain terms and case points to the opposing lawyer multiple times. While knowledgeable, his ability to explain things in a way that does not come across as condescending allowed him and opposing counsel to work together and come up with the terms of a settlement that I hope my ex is also satisfied with. At the end of the day, I came away from court with everything I'd been fighting for. I hope to never have to call Al and his team again, but if anything else goes awry, I know who I can count on to help me. I've already given the number to this firm to 2 other women in my life. Divorce is ugly and full of emotion, but this firm really does care about their clients and Al is an amazing litigator.

I was referred to Provinziano & Associates by my family lawyer here in Arizona because of their expertise in jurisdiction. Me and my ex had an informal written agreement that our kids would live with me in AZ through the school year and visit him in CA on school breaks. On spring break of this year, my ex did not put my kids back on the plane home and ghosted me for 2 days. Because of jurisdictional issues, I needed a CA attorney to represent me and make the case that my kids are residents of AZ so we could have our case here. My lawyer, Al; and his paralegal Ava have made my life easier knowing that my case was in such great hands. They are professional, responsive, and so far everything has gone in our favor. I would highly recommend them in any custody or jurisdictional case. I wish I could have them represent me here in AZ for the remainder of my case! They do cost a bit more than I was financially ready for, but I could never put a price on the peace of mind they provided and exceptional results we got. They are working with me on that front as well, and I couldn’t rate them highly enough. Thank you Al, Ava, and the whole team for all of your hard work!

I have no words to express how thoughtful and professional the team at Provinziano and associates were. I went for a "simple" divorce that turned into a bit of a messy one. I was very fortunate to have Ashot and Provinciano advising me during this journey and making sure I understood every step of the way. Attorney documents and jargons can be so complicated and overwhelming, on top of all the stress. They were so kind to me and so responsive. They were there for me and I felt really supported. Alexis from billing was also so so thoughtful. She never hesitated to review the statements with me and help me understand everything. At the end my divorced turned out as I hoped, but I could not have done it without them. My kids and my family were always their priority, as well as mine, and I truly appreciate it. 5 stars!

As I was looking for an attorney to represent me in obtaining permanent guardianship of my grandsons, God lead me to the office of Alphonse Provinziano! Alphonse’s compassion and commitment to my case surpassed my expectations . On Christmas Day I had ran into an issue and Alphonse took the time to personally call me back. As we spoke, he reassured me that all would be fine. Alphonse Provinziano has a wonderful team of professionals working by his side. June, Alexis, and Kaiko. And although, these legal situations are extremely stressful, Alphonse and his team made the process less stressful. His expertise in family matters is key to a successful outcome. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Provinziano is an outstanding attorney. He was referred to me by a friend and I would strongly recommend him to anyone going through a complex and difficult case. You definitely want him on your side. He is an expert in negotiations, cross examinations, who has a keen attention to detail but appropriately balances that with the big picture. He guided me through the entire process in a highly effective manner. He operates with compassion and provides a realistic assessment of where you stand. He was responsive and both he and his team were quick to answer questions/calls and turn things around. He did a great job of setting my expectations throughout and delivering a good outcome that I was very happy with. If you are looking for a divorce attorney, you need look no further.

After several years of a very bitter, contentious drug out court battle, I hired Al Provinziano and he had it finalized within months. I wish I had hired him orginally and bypassed all the drama. I was given a fair settlement that I had been asking for from day 1. Thank you Al for everything you did for me and thank you to your staff that was always on hand for any questions or concerns.

When I began my search for a family law attorney, I quickly learned that not all attorneys are competent in their area of practice. Al Provinziano was the only attorney whom I trusted with confidence because his competence and experience puts him in a different class of family law firms. Al’s professional advocacy is stellar, and his team is most empathetic and responsive. I especially appreciated that he kept things from turning ugly and protected me from emotional distress. He truly has made a difference for my family by helping me receive the college funds that I was owed through child support payments. I recommend Provinziano & Associates without an ounce of reservation!
