She was very professional, well organized. Always showed up on time when it came to my court cases. I feel her assistants were very helpful anytime I had questions. She came highly recommended and I can easily see why.

Fought hard on behalf of father rights. I got hit with a court appearance letter and she took care of everything. I'm very happy with the results that she was able to help me get. She's the best and I would recommend her.

She won my case! Got my car replaced, got a small settlement. The insurance companies were not working with me, and she was able to fix all of that. I'm incredibly grateful for her guidance and support through this tough time.

I feel she's not in it for just the money. After we had got started, communication was never an issue. I was always able to communicate with her and her office. She was very knowledgeable when it came to my situation. I feel she was determined and did great. Highly recommend her.

She was really responsive during the entire process. Anytime I had questions or was presented with a new situation, both Mrs. Alvarado and her legal team were on top of things. In the end, she was able to get a settlement in my favor. Highly recommend her.

She won my case! She was very knowledgeable and easy to get in touch with during the process of the court cases. Anytime I would have questions, they were always addressed. I didn't feel like I was pushed off once we got started. I'm happy with the final result.

Responsive, fights hard on your behalf. I felt she was with me every step of the way. She was able to make a custody and divorce situation a lot easier on me. I'd highly recommend her firm to anyone who might need a great attorney!

Tons of years of experience. I've used her twice now, and very happy with the results both times. Hopefully I don't need her a third time but if I do I know where to go.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
