About Steven

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.

Alves gives back to his community by devoting a portion of his practice to pro bono representation in the areas of landlord-tenant, wage & hour, and contracts.

Steven has assisted our firm on numerous occasions. We've had specific HR and labor law questions he answered right away. Because of his advice we've avoided making major mistakes, and we plan on continuing our partnership with his firm going forward. We'd be happy to be a reference and would happily recommend to other business owners!

Mr. Alves responded to Evvo questions I have inquired about WC case. Thru Evvo posting, I was able to email him and ask if I can send him WC case documents and concurrent DFEH related labor law cases. I posted my email address so that he can contact me back via email. I sent inordinate amout of case documents via email and also thru Google drop down share drive he was kind to sent to me. He spent reviewing all those documents over both days of Saturday and Sunday weekend and got back to me via email on Sunday afternoon that he will be taking my labor law case. I asked him to place on hold reviewin WC case for now. He was very understanding of my urgency needs and was willing to take his valuable weekend rest time in reviewing my cases over the weekend. He was also kind to let me know ahead he will be calling me for contract paperwork Monday next day. Very prompt, efficient, effective, thorough, responsive, professional, insightful of knowing my needs. Also very supportive and friendly. Thank you so much thus far. Sincerely from bottom of my heart. Daniel S.

My contact with Mr Alves has been purely from this website, but if I move forward with my workers comp case and find I need further assistance, this is the lawyer I plan to contact. He has been responsive to my questions and very knowledgeable.
