Excellent Family Lawyer

Attorney Kathleen G. Alvarado has been representing me for less than a year. She is an excellent family attorney! She is very reasonable and her staff is great. She works very hard and is also a pit bull in court.

Excellent Attorney - Very Reputable

I am a lifetime Law Enforcement Officer and have been familiar with Kathleen G. Alvarado's legal abilities as a former District Attorney. Kathleen is assertive, intelligent, and fiercely looks out for her clients. She is in and out of court rooms everyday and has no fear to go to trial. Make no mista...ke, Kathleen's responses are right on. She has even had to correct the opposing attorney's cites that were incorrect. She lets nothing pass her by. I would definitely refer Kathleen as a strong and skilled attorney for any potential client who has legal issues. You'll definitely be in good hands. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Awful Awful Awful!!! Steer clear of this attorney at all costs!!

I hired this attorney thinking that I would be getting someone fair and aggressive to represent me. I am a man and I was seeking out someone who practices for fathers rights. Since she was fairly cheap, I figured I would be able to afford her. Oh my gosh, where do I start?? Well, in the year and a ha...lf I had her as my attorney, I have gotten nothing to go in my favor. She has made mistake after mistake after mistake when it comes to her and her office properly serving my ex, showing up to motions, filing continuances, and helping me get my supervised visitation taken away. She had me file a false report on a therapist to the board of Behavioral Health so I would get a new one which didn't work. She took a YEAR to actually get heard for a motion to switch therapists and that still isn't going my way. My child support has not changed at all and now I am facing a contempt charge because she directed me not to pay any support. Kathleen Alvarado has already been in trouble for unethical practices and let me tell you, her practice has not changed. She continues to practice unethically and unlawfully and really needs to be investigated and have her right to practice law taken away. I still have nothing in my favor but yet she is quick to collect my money. At all costs, please look for another reputable attorney to represent you.
