Did a great job in representing me

I felt in good hands from the moment we got started. She was always very thorough. The entire process was made easy by her and her staff. I'd highly recommend her.

I was involved in a car accident while on the 91

This was my first time having to hire an attorney, but I was involved in a car accident while on the 91. Not knowing where to turn, I called around and found Mrs. Alvarado. She was very thorough, and was able to get alot of the problems resolved. I feel both her and her team were really on top of t...hings. I'm happy with the results that she was able to help deliver.

Terrific Bankruptcy Attorney

I don't normally write reviews but I felt compelled to let everyone know what a terrific job Kathleen Alvarado and her team did for me in preparing my bankruptcy. I knew nothing about bankruptcy and from my first phone call I felt I was in good hands. I filled out some papers and was regularly cont...acted by Kathleen's office regarding my status. Emails were sent reminding me of where to be, what to bring and even what I should expect at each stage. I didn't have to try to hunt anyone down like those other offices I've read about. All I know is that my experience was smooth and I felt completely informed and protected - thanks to the Law Office of Kathleen Alvarado.

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.
