Good Results

I used David Alvarez's service in the past year, he never gave me or my wife false hopes on my criminal case. His knowledge in the field gave me the sense of security and trust in him. He was very informative at all times on what my options would be. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. ...I have recommended him to a friend and he also was very pleased with his representation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
