About América Alvarez
América Alvarez brings nearly four decades of legal experience to the families she serves — helping clients plan for their families’ futures through wills, trusts, and deeds, and standing with individuals working through financial hardship. Hablamos Español.
América Alvarez has been admitted to practice law since October 1987. Her experience is unusually wide-ranging — she began as a staff attorney with the U.S. Department of Labor, working under an administrative law judge on cases spanning Black Lung disease claims to whistleblower matters, along with labor cases involving unpaid overtime and minimum wage violations. She then spent several years with an international publishing company, gaining hands-on business experience in contracts and financial matters, including foreign sales and purchases.
For the past 11 years, her focus has centered on general civil litigation, foreclosure, loan modifications, and bankruptcy — including preparing wills, complete estate planning packages (powers of attorney, health care surrogate designations, and related documents), and deeds. That hands-on experience with the very instruments families rely on is now the foundation of her work at Alexis Garcia Legal.
