Navigating the tumultuous waters of divorce proceedings across state lines is akin to traversing a legal labyrinth. When my boyfriend found himself embroiled in such a situation—his marital saga spanning South Florida to Pennsylvania, with three children in the balance—the task of finding competent legal representation seemed daunting. Enter Melissa Alfonso, a beacon of hope amidst the legal quagmire. Hired as the third attorney in our quest for resolution, Melissa immediately distinguished herself through her proactive approach and unwavering commitment to our case. From the outset, Melissa exhibited a depth of understanding and insight that surpassed our previous experiences. Unlike her predecessors, she didn't just handle the legal paperwork; she immersed herself in our situation, offering invaluable guidance and strategic direction. Communication, often a sore point in legal matters, became a cornerstone of Melissa's practice. She kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we were equipped with the knowledge and clarity necessary to navigate the complexities of the legal process. In a high-conflict scenario exacerbated by the presence of a formidable opponent—a seasoned litigator known colloquially as the "battle axe" of the Seminole County Court—Melissa proved to be an indomitable force. Refusing to be intimidated, she met each challenge head-on, skillfully advocating for my boyfriend's rights with poise and determination. Even in the face of an initially unfavorable judgment, Melissa's tenacity remained unwavering. Armed with a meticulous understanding of the case and pertinent legal precedents, she crafted a compelling motion, exposing the glaring injustices of the ruling and championing my boyfriend's right to due process. Though our journey is far from over, Melissa's exceptional advocacy has been nothing short of remarkable. In her capable hands, we find solace amidst the legal storm, confident that justice will ultimately prevail. Melissa Alfonso isn't just an attorney; she's a lifesaver, guiding us through the darkest of legal turbulences with unwavering expertise and compassion.

I hired Melissa Alfonso to represent me in a very contested relocation and custody case. From day one, my case felt like an uphill battle but Ms. Alfonso really listened to how I wanted to pursue my case and relentlessly represented and advocated for me. She is honest (even if it's not necessarily what you want to hear) trustworthy, knows the law and commands respect in the courtroom. I believe hiring Ms. Alfonso was a game changer for my case but even if the outcome had not been what I wanted, I would highly recommend her to anyone involved in a custody dispute. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've worked with an attorney for divorce/custody issues but it is by far the best experience I have had. You will not regret hiring Melissa.

Melissa has represented me in a very contentious family law case that has been ongoing since 2015. She has, in a few months, made more progress on my case than any of the other 3 attorneys I had did in several years. She is extremely knowledgeable and is an asset to have in any court hearing. She knows the law, and is agressive yet professional. She is ethical and empathetic and grasps all of the details of a case. She is always available and returns my emails or calls quickly. We are still involved in litigation on my case and I have every confidence and trust she will continue to work for the best interests of my children and I. Hands down the best attorney I’ve ever worked with!

Melissa has done an incredible job working on my case, and I couldn't ask for a more devoted attorney to represent me. It's not an easy situation my family and I are having to go through, but she has given me peace of mind. Thank you so much! I appreciate the hard work you and this legal team put in.
