I cannot say enough nice things about Christian! I am helping a friend apply for naturalization, and Christian has helped us through the process. She was very thorough in reviewing and explaining what steps we needed to take with the paperwork. She was patient, provided follow-up explanations if we did not quite understand something, and was always quick to respond to us. No matter how many questions we had, she never made us feel like a hassle, and she did her very best to answer them completely and thoroughly. She made the intimidating process of government paperwork so much easier and stress free because we could trust her expert knowledge and caring attitude. She is so evidently passionate about her profession because she deeply believes in protecting the rights of all people. She will use her knowledge and compassion and give her total time, energy and attention to helping those who need it. Should I ever be in the situation to help another person with immigration questions, I will not hesitate to contact Christian Alvarez. Thank you, Christian!

Mi familia y yo, recordaremos a la abogada Christian Y. Alvarez por siempre con mucho carino. Excelente como profesional y como ser humano. Con su basto conocimiento en temas de inmigracion, encontro la mejor manera para resolver el caso de mi tio, en el menor tiempo posible. Una persona super amable, con la que en todo momento puedes dialogar directamente, sin intermediarios. Resumiendo, una abogada que realmente se preocupa y lucha por tu caso como si fueras parte de su familia.

I can't reccomend Christian's work enough. She is extremely thorough, personable and patient. She was able to turn my case around in under a week, and always had time for whatever questions, queries or conundrums I threw at her. She always put my mind at ease. I would absolutely reccomend her to anyone looking for immigration help.

Christian Alvarez is great! She provides amazing customer service and fast turn around. She looked at my mother's case and cleared up all our questions. She is thorough, patient, and very caring. My parents had consulted with other lawyers in the past but none took the time that Christian did to help us understand our options. Furthermore, I appreciate that Christian was able to clearly explain things to my mother in Spanish. We highly recommend her.

Attorney Alvarez was very sweet and honest with me about my husband's waiver case. We liked the fact that she was not pushing us to do anything and was very detailed in all the steps without feeling rushed. After our first appointment which was more than an hour long I knew she would take her time with our case. I was glad we trusted her as we just got a notice that his waiver was approved and are looking forward to calling her again for the citizenship in the future.
