Posted by Bob | October 08, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Efrain will put in the time and effort all the while offerering suggestions.

I hired Efrain to counter my ex-wife alimony request for upward modification. She was represented by an WPB law firm that was very adept at creating legal bills. Fortunately, Efrain was able to minimize those expenses. Throughout the 1 1/2 year ordeal, Mr. Aponte kept me aware of the proceedings and... any counters he suggested. I would recommend him for any marital and family law disputes. BTW... at the trial my alimony was TERMINATED.

Ethical and knowledgeable

Efrain looks out for your best interest. He's very knowledgeable in family law as well as other areas of law such as bankruptcy. He also knows many skilled attorneys for areas that are outside of his specialty. Efrain won't milk you the way most unethical attorneys do. He'll get the job done with no... nonsense and he's pleasant to work with. He has a lot of experience in the legal profession. My only regret is not hiring Efrain from the beginning of my case, but I only learned of him later on in my case.

Family Law Case

Mr. Aponte is extremely knowledgeable in the area of family law. He has worked hard to get me the results that are best for me and my children. I am always able to get a phone or email response from him the same day I call his office. I would recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney who will wor...k to resolve your case as fast as possible.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
