I had a very complicated domestic case that lasted over a year. Rui was very knowledgable and strategic in all aspects of the case. The custody portion was very emotional, and Rui was able to find amicable solutions in which the children were put above the fray. He was there with wise counsel and referrals helping to set up outside support systems. The economic portion of the case was very complicated. Rui was able to find solutions and strategies that enabled me to avoid a trial. The agreement was fair and Rui’s stratagies saved me a lot of money in the long term. His experience with domestic cases and calm demeanor are an asset during a highly emotional time. I highly recommend Rui and think of him as one of the best.

Worth every penny! Do you want to win at any cost? Want to crush the lives of others? Ruin them financially? Want to put your wife and children out with nothing…this is your guy. Seize everything and run? He can help! He knows just what to do to get away with it. He will take the case right up to trail and then withdraw….unbelievably talented at manipulation. He can come up with lots of stall tactics to drag your case out so you can out spend your opponent causing them to be broke and unable to continue litigation. If he used his talent for good the world would be a better place! Best lawyer ever….

Mr. Alves was a great advocate who helped me deal with an extremely difficult party. He understands the law and provided strong and decisive counsel.

I hired Rui to assist me in a defendant position. He always kept the line of communication open and followed through with what he said he was going to do. More importantly he cares and is understanding. If you need someone to support you in a time of need Rui is that person.

In the summer of 2017 I needed a lawyer to assist me with my divorce. Over the next 6-9 months Rui was fantastic to me in that he was helpful, understanding, kind, honest and supportive towards me. It was a difficult time for me and he showed compassion towards me yet created a backbone of strength that I did not feel i possessed at the time. He had my best interest at heart. Rui is incredibly intelligent and a good man.

I hired Rui Alves when my husband suddenly filed for divorce. The case involved two states and crossed international borders. I was afraid of the outcome considering my husband’s dishonest and dubious behavior. Rui guided me step by step and helped me calmly and successfully move through the entire process until the whole case was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rui never left one stone unturned or any angle unexplored. He was always one step ahead of the game. Rui always made himself available to discuss any issue or fear I was having and reassured me that he was fighting for me. In the courtroom, Rui always represented himself with intelligence and class. I feel very thankful to have had him in my corner. I am now using Rui as my divorce attorney as I have filed against my husband. I would not be in this position if it wasn’t for Rui Alves and for this I am eternally grateful.

Rui, led a team to represent me in a defendant position. The situation was complicated due to some misclaiming from the plaintiff. Rui overcame all objections professionally and put together a plan to resolve all issues as well as negotiationing a fair settlement. Rui Alves is a highly qualified attorney and a credit to himself, the lawyer profession and Barton Gilman LLP.

I hired Rui when I was charged with speeding 40 MPH over the speed limit. When I went to my arraignment, the court wouldn't offer me the benefit of using my good driving record because the alleged speed was so excessive. I hired Rui after the arraignment. He was honest about the outcomes I could expect considering the severity of the alleged speeding offense. It wasn't a slam dunk case for him and he let me know, however we ultimately prevailed. Rui convinced the city to be reasonable, especially considering they only clocked my speed. In lieu of a trial, I was able to rely on my good driving history through his legal counsel and negotiations with the city.

Mr. Alves was a a very respectful, & determined lawyer. He did not make me any promises, but told me the facts pertaining to my case along with possible outcomes. He kept to his word, and did not make down after multiple court dates. He got me exactly what I deserved in my child support case. I willl be using him in the future.

In a very emotional and scary time in my life, attorney Alves was very helpful, considered and informative. He explained and guided me through the process as I was scared to lose my children. If you want to sit down with an honest and trustworthy lawyer, Attorney Alves is the person for you.
