Single Father Who Hit Rock Bottom!

As I write this, just know where I am coming from… I was stripped off my daughter out of the blue. I had no idea about anything child custody, family law, etc! When these events happened to me. I was given Leo number from a friend of mine and he said “Call him ASAP he will get your daughter back” and... let me tell you, that was best decision I ever did in my life! Leo was very smart, patient, knowledgeable, humble, kind, and most of all willing to work with someone like me who had everything taken from him, daughter, home, job, and yet I stood there on hands and need begging him for help! He replied “Get up, we got work to do” Leo not only research day and night but also help me understand my rights and how Family Law works Pros and Cons. Leo also was patient and diligent enough to answer all my emails, texts and phone calls in a very professional timely manner! We all know that courts and lawyers are expensive. Luckily for me Leo was passionate and willing to help a struggling single father. From coaching me thru the most difficult time in my life, to working with me financially enough to render his service. After multiple court hearings, meditation, phone calls and meetings. Leo kept me in check, reminding me not to do anything rational or stupid! Keeping me in the loop and calming me down because of multiple continuous from the other parties side. Regardless, Leo did what he promised me he would do the very first day we met! He got me my daughter back after being without my daughter for over 107 days. I am not one to write reviews when I go to restaurant or hotel. But I am writing to this to thank Leo THANK YOU!!! Thank God for your knowledge in Family Law and for helping me through this tough time and aiding a new beginning of my life. I am walking living proof that justice was served for Fathers sake! All thanks to this man hard work and integrity!

LITERALLY THE BEST!!

I hired attorney Juan Leonel Alvarez to take on my case after dealing with 2 other attorney that weren’t helpful at all. Mr. Alvarez was very professional and attentive. He set up an appointment as soon as the following days. With him there is no grey area with, Mr. Alvarez was very clear about the p...otential outcomes of my case. Walking into the court house I felt confident with him by my side. Anyone I personally know dealing with any legal I automatically refer him. He truly is the best!!

Reassuring, Available, and Timely

Mr. Alvarez was extremely open to making himself available and welcomed communication leading up to and following my case. He was quick to answer any questions, set realistic expectations, and used his knowledge of both the law and the courthouse to yield the best possible result for me. I would re...commend him to anyone dealing with the same situation I was in (DUI) as he helped me navigate a very difficult point in my life, and would consider him for future legal advisement should the need arise.

Child custody

I hired Juan Alvarez after I was told it would be very difficult to win my child custody case by multiple attorneys. His confidence and professionalism gave me the reassurance I needed to proceed with the case. This is a difficult and sensitive situation which Mr. Alvarez made me feel very at ea...se discussing the matter. His prompt response and compassion regarding my case was greatly appreciated. He even contacted me on numerous occasions with questions on how I wanted to proceed with the circumstances, something I have never experienced from other attorneys. I believe Mr. Alvarez’s diligence and modern methods in the court room got the settlement I was seeking and more. I highly recommend Juan Alvarez to anyone, he will not disappoint.

Review on Juan Leonel Alvarez.

Where do I begin!?! I was referred to Mr. Alvarez by a high profile family attorney who was located very far from my home. He promised that I wouldn't be disappointed, and I definitely was not. I walked into Mr. Alvarez office around Oct. 2016., I was very stressed because I was served for custody,... child support, and visitations by the opposing party. As a single mother, working full-time, I had no knowledge or extra time to figure things out alone. That's when I decided consulted with Attorney Alvarez. Not only did he explain everything to me, he was super professional in engaging with me, and offering his exceptional services to help me. I hired Mr. Alvarez that very same day, and it was the best thing I could have done. Best investment ever! After hiring him, we sat down several time to gather and review information about my case. Mr. Alvarez was always willing to meet with me to prepare me for our many court hearings. We went to several hearings and a long trial. My case was extremely difficult and required many experts and PPA evaluations. Mr. Alvarez, he was very supportive the entire time from beginning to end. (Oct. 2016-July 2017). We succeeded and got amazing results. Mr. Alvarez has reasonable pricing and his work is outstanding. He has also helped many of my friends and those cases have also ended in excellent results. I always refer and will continue to recommend Juan because I trust him and he does amazing work. Mr. Alvarez is totally the man to talk to and hire!
