Ambulance chaser, only looking for quick settlement

Ambulance chaser, only looking for quick settlement. Exactly what it says. He will drag your case on for years and literally do nothing but file extensions and very little work. He will settle for nothing just to move on from your case to the next. He's a turn and burn lawyer. When you go to consult ...with him he's going to promise you anything to get your case. I soon got very frustrated after years and had to fire Walter Alvarez and hire an actual attorney who was actually educated enough to take my case. Do not go to trail with them. They are never prepared for anything and will ask you the same questions over and over because they can't ever remember anything. Please for the sake of yourself please stay away and don't go through the hardship I did. Everything listed here is my opinion.

Steer Clear unless you want more stress than you already have.

So at first it seemed like everything was gonna be great. I have since been turned over turned over to another "attorney", still in school who seems to not have much experience as well as lied to me several times. I also did the majority of the foot work, as they stood by telling and assuring me that... getting me a plea agreement was the best option. I did my own research and told the other attorney how we were gonna proceed with the case. Needless to say I got my own charges dropped. This office is a fricking joke.

Makes big promises, then sits on case for years

I had hired Mr. Alvarez for a case that was very difficult for me personally and he had initially made me several promises. In the initial meeting he put on a very convincing act that had me believing he was going to work hard for me. After I signed the agreement, no work was done on my case for YE...ARS. I never got any of my phone calls returned and after four years of waiting, I ended up with a lower settlement than I was offered before I even hired Mr. Alvarez. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY.
