Passport Issue
The attorney that handled my adoption (not Mr. Alvarez) lost my file, which resulted in issues with immigration, after I filed for a U.S. passport. Mr. Alvarez expeditiously replaced my missing citizenship paperwork. Thanks to Mike I am finally, after three years, going to have a passport.

Personal Matter
I hired Michael Alvarez for a personal matter where I was accused of something I did not do, not only did he ensure I was not found guilty he was able to prove the party that was at fault. I am very happy I found him. I have sent him accident and criminal referrals and those people are also all very very happy. You won't find a better and more professional attorney then Michael.

The Best!!
Sometime back I was rear-ended while I was driving. I was extremely shaken and was also injured. Upon sharing this, a very special person told me that I really deserved nothing but the best counsel to get through this. So she insisted on the Law Office of Lord, Kobrin, Alvarez & Fattell, I took it from there. I can't say enough about their concern, advice and expertise. Totally professionalism also. And oh Zoraida how you have helped me, been there for me. You care too. You keep me informed too. To all of you there at Lord, Kobrin, Alvarez & Fattell, a sincere thank you."

From the day I stepped into their office I felt like they truly want to help me get the best care as I can."
So far so good. [Zoraida] has been on top of things helping me ease my mind after a bad motorcycle accident. Very helpful in explaining how the whole process works and quick responses as well. From the day i stepped into their office i felt like they truly want to help me get the best care as i can. I was dealing with a lot of stress after this accident and this has truly helped put my mind at ease knowing i have someone backing me up. Thanks!"

Thankful!
Michael Alvarez has really gone above and beyond anything I would have expected from an attorney. He was ready and available to answer all of my questions I had about my case either by phone, or email. He truly took the extra time to ensure everything in my case was taken care of and it all went smoothly. The positive results of my case were more than I anticipated. I am extremely pleased that I found someone that is tremendously affective and I can trust. I have referred others to his office and everyone has been more than satisfied. If you have never needed an attorney before and are unsure of the legal process he is the attorney for you. Thank you Mr. Alvarez for keeping me stress free during the course of my case.
