Alphonso S. Hearns, Jr., managing attorney and founder of Hearns Law Group, LLC, has spent the past 17 years litigating high conflict divorce and custody cases. Alphonso began his legal career as a real estate transactions attorney but developed a passion for advocating for individuals and families in court. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland, College Park, and his Juris Doctor from The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, and is licensed to practice in Maryland. Alphonso received numerous awards and distinctions, and was selected to the 2024 Maryland Super Lawyers List. In 2021, Alphonso was selected as a Fellow of the Maryland Bar Foundation in recognition of his outstanding dedication to the welfare of his community, the administration of justice, and the traditions of the profession of law. Alphonso was also selected for inclusion into the Top Attorneys of North America 2020-2021 edition by The Who's Who 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.. Within the first few years of Alphonso’s transition to family law, he experienced tremendous success in handling the most complex custody litigation matters an attorney could ever experience. Alphonso forged partnerships with several advocacy groups in the Maryland region, including the Center for Abused Persons, Charles County, Maryland and the YWCA, Annapolis, Maryland. He began assisting these groups with handling complex custody and domestic violence cases in which they did not have the resources to manage as non-profit organizations. 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. His stellar reputation and track record of success has earned him 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, and in this leadership capacity, he mentored new family law practitioners and provided a source of continuing legal education for seasoned practitioners.
