“I understand that speaking with a lawyer, especially in stressful times, where you are making big decision(s) or dealing with issues can be intimidating. I make complex issues simple for my clients, and I inform them so that they can make the best decisions for the present and future of their businesses and themselves.”- Alonzo M. Alston, Esq.My top professional priorities are effectiveness and adding value to my clients through my representation. I am passionate about and dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and individuals in entertainment law, business law, early-stage start-ups, and growing companies to develop or improve upon strong foundations and frameworks for success. I love working with producers (music, film, theater, events, etc.), recording artists, fine artists (painters, sculptors, digital artists, photographers, etc.), executives, investors, businesses, freelancers, start-ups (tech, apps, SaaS), entertainment and business clients (film, television, music, arts, theatre companies, talent, etc.) in the areas of contracts, private securities transactions, brand and content protection, production deals, development deals, mergers & acquisitions, licensing, project funding, film funding/financing, crowdfunding (debt/equity), private finance, venture capital, intellectual property (copyright & trademark), unfair competition law, & dispute resolution. Alonzo McAlpine Alston, Esq. was born in Savannah, GA, is a faith-led, loving and dedicated husband and father of two as well as a results-driven, service-oriented, and client-focused attorney. Attorney Alston was born to entrepreneurial parents who were heavily involved in the civil rights movement. His mother attended Stillman College, Indiana University, Case-Western Reserve University, and Emory Medical School, marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and further trailblazed as the first Black woman pediatrician in Savannah, Ga. His father attended Purdue University, Atlanta University, John Marshall Law School, and Savannah State College, was a founding member of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, was a founding member and executive for the black caucus of the Republican Party of Georgia, and founded Atlanta’s first luxury private transportation company. Attorney Alston is a product of their strong influence and guidance to purpose his life and endeavors on social equality and equity, cause-driven activism, community building, and self-reliance with a focus on empowerment and entrepreneurship. These values have also influenced his desire to continually exhibit integrity, to believe in and advocate for ownership, and develop clear goal-oriented communications. Attorney Alston said, “[O]ne of the primary reasons I became an attorney was to make sure that people knew what I didn’t know when I started out in business. I wanted people to know the value of strong agreements and be able to speak to an attorney that had been on the wrong end of a bad deal. Someone’s got to fight for the little guy in business.” Entrepreneurship has been a driving force in his life and began at an early age. Since his first lemonade stand and video game exchange, Attorney Alston has sought to maximize value for his clients. In 2001, Attorney Alston founded Movement Productions (now, Movement Productions, LLC) to provide quality event-oriented entertainment, information services, and resources.

How do I fight LA Child Protective Services charges of child abuse?

My son’s mother reported me for child abuse because when my son went back to her after being with me he had a black eye. He’s just learning to walk and he legit fell onto the edge of the fireplace and caught his eye. Now Child Protective Services (correct name for Calif.) is saying they want to come to my house and interview me but my family is telling me I should not talk to them without a lawyer. I have a security clearance for my job and if anything like a child abuse charge shows up on my record I could be fired. My ex is telling me that until this is ‘cleared up,’ I can’t see my son. Should I talk to the protective services people without a lawyer and what if they do charge me with abuse?

Child Custody Los Angeles, CA

Do I need a prenuptial agreement to protect the property I already have?

I’m engaged and wondering if I need a prenuptial agreement. I have a 10 year old daughter from a prior relationship. I moved here from Maryland to be with my fiancé and we are getting married in LA. I’m told that California is a community property state and that everything we each own now and anything we purchase together while we are married becomes community property. I’m worried about losing half my assets if we divorce. I want to provide for my daughter and I don’t want the assets I own now to be divided with my fiancé, and my daughter to possibly lose out. Will a prenuptial agreement (does his SEO pick up ‘prenup’) protect my property and can my fiancé and I decide what we do and do not want to include in the community property?

Divorce Los Angeles, CA

Can I stop my husband from getting a divorce?

My husband moved out of our house about a year ago and now says he is filing for divorce. We’ve tried to get back together a few times since he left and he’s stayed here at the house with me several times. I read online that we have to be separated for a year before he can get a divorce if I contest it. We’ve had sex as recently as two months ago. I want to contest the divorce because I still think we can work it out. What do I need to do if he serves me with divorce papers and how can I prove that we have not really been truly separated for the one year period?
