I always felt I was in good hands, used twice now

Both of my experiences with her over the years have been great. I always felt I was in good hands whenever a situation arose that needed to be addressed. Ms. Alvarado is very experiences and knows a lot when it comes to family law.

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

Great Lawyer

This firm has shown me that they do their job for the better of the people. I was always treated with my best interests in mind and was given legal advice that would truly build a foundation to a winning case. I was humbled by their experience and the results it bares. You won't be disappointed.

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.

Awesome Defense Lawyer

Kathleen has represented me in court for several defense cases. She has been my family attorney for many years. She knows the law and she will fight for you. Kathleen is very knowledgeable and her staff is friendly and responsive. I would definitely recommend Kathleen Alvarado.
