Highly recommended

I've been going back and fourth fighting a custody battle for several years now, and the only real help I received was from Kathleen and her team. She fights hard, knows how to get things done. I feel shes very professional and experienced in her line of work

Thank you to Kathleen and her staff*****

I want to Thank Kathleen and her staff for all there help. I wasn’t sure with my case at first as normally we don’t do this rarely. It was a weird accident because I was going to meet her on a total different subject ! I was on my way to see Kathleen and was involved in a car accident going to... see her so of course she was the perfect person to ask to help and she did !!! But Kathleen and Leslie as well as Naomi were absolutely wonderful. I appreciate their hard work and honesty. Kathleen is a very nice woman and caring as well. Kathleen goes over and beyond my wildest expectations! I would definitely refer them to any Family or friends. They all did a great job. It closed and let’s just say it was I was do surprised on my bottom line!! So my personal thank you to all of you because you don’t hear it enough so for my bottom of my heart Thank you! Julie 5 stars for you!

Awesome Criminal Law Attorney!

I hired Ms. Alvarado to handle a DUI charge that I got in Riverside, California. Since this was my first run in with the law I was very nervous and scared about what impact it was going to have on my future. After explaining my situation, she was very calming, answered all my questions, and gave me a... full rundown about what to expect and how the process worked. She not only fought my case for about a year but ended up getting what I consider a win or victorious outcome. I know that I was probably a pain in her side cause I had constant questions for her but either her or the office staff would usually get me the info I needed in a day or so. I have dealt with attorneys before but not in a criminal setting, and I must say I always felt that I was in good hands and made the right choice by having her handle my case. She even handled a case for my mom and my brother, which both had good outcomes as well. I recommend this attorney to all my friends and family, as well as anyone else who needs someone to have there back legally.

WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE

Had my case for 2 years never said a word in court, never argued in my favor, missed court often, never gave me advice, inaccessible too many things to say. My case still going on 2yrs 3 months later because of her ineptitude. Only occations she would try to reach me (through her secretary) was whe...n I fell behind on payments. $9000 later I was broke and I could no longer pay her the remaining $6000 ($15000 total) so she decided to stop "representing" me without even letting me or the court know. Other legal advisers tell me my case is so easy it should've been solved in 1 or 2 three hearings maximum.
