Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have worked with Amy on a complex financial case and have been impressed both by her reasonable and collaborative approach, which has saved both sides substantial amounts of attorney's fees as well as her effective advocacy.

I have worked with Ms. Alvis on several matters. In each case, she was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and compassionate in each of them. I would have no hesitation in sending a close family member to her on Estate Planning or Family Law issues.
