About Steven
Biography
While adjusting workers' compensation claims for some of the leading industry carriers and third-party administrators, Mr. Alves was underwhelmed with the level of service that was available from the well-known defense firms. He often wished for an attorney who would be accessible, communicative, and focused on results rather than billable hours. To fill this need, Mr. Alves earned his license to practice law and founded Alves Law Office Professional Corporation, which provides workers' compensation defense services for employers from any industry and of any size throughout the State of California.
