About

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. Alphonso immediately forged partnerships with several advocacy groups in the region including the Center for Abused Persons, Charles County, Maryland and the YWCA of Annapolis, Maryland. He began assisting these groups with handling the more difficult custody and domestic violence cases in which they did not have the resources to handle as non-profit organizations. Within the first few years of this transition, Alphonso experienced tremendous success in handling the most complex custody litigation matters an attorney could ever experience. Alphonso quickly developed a reputation as the go-to attorney for handling high-conflict family law cases which resulted in him successfully managing hundreds of such cases. Alphonso's reputation and track record of success has garnered the respect and acknowledgement of his peers and local judges. Alphonso was selected to lead the Prince George's County Bar Association's Family Law Committee as the Co-Chair. In this leadership capacity, he mentors new family law practitioners and provides a source of continuing legal education for seasoned practitioners.

Attorney Hearns provided superior legal advice and outstanding representation during a difficult divorce case. Attorney Hearns professionalism during the entire proceeding help ease a difficult time in my life.

Mr. Hearns is the King of Calm in the nasty, murky world of divorce battles. I was referred to him by my former family attorney and I still can’t believe how that referral changed the outcome of my battle with my malignant ex-spouse. He and his junior colleague Ms. Amanda Odorimah quite literally reached into the jaws of defeat and pulled out a victory for me. Mr. Hearns was calm, collected and very knowledgeable throughout the month(!) he had to prep me for a possible trial and was eventually able to sway opposing counsel to avoid one altogether. I never doubted his advice and recommend him Highly and with NO hesitation to anyone who needs the best representation in a divorce proceeding. He is ethical and will guarantee you a clear conscience even if opposing counsel punches down repeatedly.

Prior to securing the services of Mr. Hearns, I retained another attorney who negligently represented my case. Nevertheless, Mr. Hearns picked up the case and performed exemplary under the circumstances. Mr. Hearns spoke on my behalf with compassion and gave me peace of mind.

Attorney Hearns is a great ally to have in the courtroom. He has a way of listening to your concerns and using them to fight for you in a way that is not only helpful but also instrumental in winning your case. His strength lies in his humanity. I needed Attorney Hearns’ assistance with a family law matter concerning custody recently. He came through for me in a way that made me feel more than confident walking into the courtroom. I would highly recommend Attorney Alphonso Hearns for any legal need you may have.

Greatest Lawyer ever!!! I was referred to him and heard great things about him, so I went with the referral. I’ve been working with him for over a year, it’s been a long process but at the end everything was accomplished. I trusted in him and he made decisions in my best interests. I could go on and on but at the end of the day I trusted the process and everything went our way. Thanks again and I will always refer you.

Mr. Hearns is a knowledgeable attorney. He is very personable to you need and wants. He listened to me when I expressed my frustration during my divorce 4 years ago. Even now when I have any problems with my ex husband I can call Mr. Hearns and he will give me advice and reinsure me that I am doing the right thing. I would recommend Mr. Hearns to anyone that needs a great lawyer.
