I met Al while I was representing my client and he was a Deputy District Attorney. Al is very smart, very thorough, and very tough.

I worked with Alphonse at the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office before he became an attorney in private practice. While I worked with him, I was continually impressed by his amazing ability to connect with juries and to handle a voluminous caseload with ease. Several years later, now that we are both in private practice, I continue to admire the hard work and dedication that he puts into making sure that each of his clients receive the very best possible representation.
