Kainani Christine Collins Alvarez

Ms. Alvarez was my second attorney in my post divorce and custody case. I hired her well into a year after my extremely complex case had already began. When I met Ms. Alvarez I was defeated, broken, scared and uncertain of my children’s and my fate in my case. Ms. Alvarez from the moment I met her wa...s confident, professional and knowledgeable. As time went on my case went to trial. I contacted Perrault & Alvarez many times leading up to my trial and each and every time my issues and concerns were handled in a prompt and professional manner. A trial is an extremely stressful and scary time when you are leaving your life in the hands of the legal system. However, when Ms. Alvarez walks into a room everyone stops and takes notice. Her booming voice can be heard from floors away that commands a presence by all. In the courtroom she is professional, aggressive and will fight not only for you but alongside you. Ms. Alvarez is well liked and respected by her colleagues and someone you want in your corner in your darkest hour. I am no longer the woman I was when I met her as working with her in my case challenged me to be confident, brave, and seek my self worth to fight for the truth to be heard. She won my case and changed the lives of my children and I. There are not words to express how thankful I am to her and her staff who worked tirelessly in my case. I have the absolute utmost respect for Ms. Alvarez and the entire staff at Perrault & Alvarez.

I hired another attorney and had been unsuccessfully dealing with a high conflict, contested paternity case from October 2021 to April 2022. The lawyer I had was not getting anywhere with my case and I felt unsupported and I was terrified that I was going to have unfavorable results and decided I nee...ded to hire Kainani. She came highly recommended for the type of case I was dealing with. It took her less than two months to completely turn my high conflict case around. She not only got me exactly what I asked for, but beyond what I ever imagined was possible. I got sole legal and physical custody of my child and was able to relocate with my child without accruing the extra costs of going back to court. She made suggestions that saved me money from my retainer, she communicated very effectively and I felt supported and heard throughout my entire experience with her and her team. I hope I never have to utilize the court system again but if I do, I know exactly who I will hire to represent me. She was ready to go all the way if necessary to get me the results that were in the best interest of my child.

***** 5 STARS! Ms. Alvarez was brought onto my case at the very last minute by Mr. Perrault as he was accidentally double booked, and of course I was a little bit nervous as she and I had never spoken before. I was reassured that she already knew my case - AND IT WAS THE BEST DECISION that Mr. Perrau...lt made! (Mr. Perrault is amazing too!) She was the perfect firestorm, centered and grounded, powerful, no BS, straight shooter, clear communication, very intelligent, and a force to be reckoned with. Her closing argument gave me goosebumps! THANK YOU MS. ALVAREZ AND MS. ENGEBRETSEN FOR BOTH OF YOUR SERVICES ON MY TRIAL! *****

I hired Kainani after a referral from an attorney in another area. She was very professional and responded promptly. She worked hard on my case, was very thorough with every single detail, and made sure I understood everything that was going on. She always made time when it came to corresponding and ...was honest and forthcoming with all of the information pertaining to my case. I could tell from the start that she was very knowledgeable in what I was going through and I strusted she had my best interest in mind. I'd definitely recommend her.

Kainani and her team are amazing! I was putting off filing for my divorce because the process seemed SO daunting, I didn’t know where to start. Kainani made the process so EASY. If I had questions on what something meant, she was able to explain it to me and make me feel comfortable. She ensured I ha...d all of the right paperwork completed, coordinated everything so well, and I could not have completed this process without her and her team! THANK YOU!!!
