With today’s society fighting racially injustice cases where police are involved and escalating situations, while adding charges that benefit their unlawful arrest, this lawyer was able to present my case with only the facts and without a doubt my charges were completely withdrew over a 1-2 month span. This was a fight that Jeremy took on with his team and sent a powerful message to the police that equality matters, truth matters! THANKS JEREMY. Without major exaggeration you will always get my service as well as my recommendation. Thanks for helping me keep my freedom!

Jeremy Alva represented me in multiple cases. I hired Jeremy and David Moscow as a team, and I had active warrants in three different counties simultaneously. Jeremy and David worked together to orchestrate surrenders in each county. One by one, I watched Jeremy and David, the “Dream Team” as I like to call them, partner to address the charges I faced in each county. I was charged with four felonies and four misdemeanors. Again, arrest warrants had been issued in each case, and I never served a single minute in jail. I have prior convictions for the same crime. Those are the facts. I was also on probation in a fourth county and with their help, didn’t serve time for a violation of probation either. Jeremy and David are the best in the business - they’re young, relatable, aggressive and professional. Their communication and skill set are unmatched. I paid for legal representation and I received the best - but I also received great advice and support in getting my life back on track and they’ve continued to support me after the conclusion of my last case.

Jeremy Alva sets the standard for others to emulate. Based on recommendations from other lawyers, we hired Jeremy due to the complexity of my son's case and the need for someone who had the ability to work through the myriad of issues in a straightforward, interrelated manner and we couldn't be happier. Jeremy is truly a professional who doesn't settle but does whatever it takes to get the best result for his clients. In sum, Jeremy's efforts have paved the way for my son to turn his life around and maximize his potential; my wife and I couldn't be happier and more thankful for Jeremy's tireless efforts to make this happen. We are truly fortunate to have crossed paths with this outstanding professional.

I consulted Jeremy regarding an incident I was involved in. He is a great listener and provided incredibly valuable feedback. He was able to explain legal implications to me in a way that was easy to understand. When my family or friends need to hire a lawyer in the future I would absolutely choose Mr. Alva.

Jeremy Alva assisted me with a complex criminal defense case, regarding marijuana offenses. He is aggressive in the court room, but straightforward with clients. Initially, the situation was very daunting but I was very pleased with the outcome that Jeremy worked hard to achieve. He knows the laws in Philadelphia and is capable of navigating the complex Philadelphia court system. He is worth every dollar and I would call him again in the future if necessary. Additionally, everyone that I spoke with at his firm was knowledgeable and friendly. All phone calls were answered and returned promptly, his legal assistant is great. I would certainly recommend to others looking for a great attorney!
