History
Alvarez Legal Group, P.A. (“ALG”) represents policyholders in residential and commercial property damage insurance claims. ALG was founded by attorney Stefan A. Alvarez, after he spent years at one of the nation’s largest insurance defense law firms, where he represented most of Florida’s largest insurance companies. Mr. Alvarez saw first-hand how an insurance company processes policyholders’ property damage insurance claims, as well as the behind-the-scenes considerations, conversations, and decisions that ultimately lead to a final coverage determination. This experience is what separates ALG from other law firms. Not only do we specialize in property damage insurance claims, but we personally know how insurance companies think and operate throughout the entire claims process. As a result, we stay one step ahead of your insurance company, every step of the way.
Let us have the privilege and opportunity to represent you. We fight insurance companies, so that you don’t have to.

Stefan A. Alvarez
Stefan A. Alvarez is the Founder and President of Alvarez Legal. He is also the Owner and Operator of Serenity Title, LLC, as well as a licensed Realtor with Compass.
As an experienced trial attorney, Mr. Alvarez represents policyholders in residential and commercial property damage insurance claims. He has experience representing clients at every stage of an insurance claim, from pre-suit investigations and coverage matters to litigation, and, if necessary, through trial.
Mr. Alvarez began his career as the Senior Manager of Legal Research and Legislative Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. During his time there, Mr. Alvarez was responsible for managing components of various international initiatives for Fortune 250 companies, including the strategic development and implementation of research, communications, and advocacy efforts in Europe, the Asia-Pacific, Canada, and Latin America. In addition, Mr. Alvarez also handled a range of domestic issues related to shareholder activism and campaign finance, including legislative and regulatory measures at the state and federal level.
After several years with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Alvarez’s passion for people and the rule of law brought him back to his hometown of Tampa, Florida, where he became an Assistant State Attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. As an Assistant State Attorney, Mr. Alvarez prosecuted thousands of cases from intake through trial with charges ranging from Domestic Battery, Assault, Theft, and Driving Under the Influence, amongst others.
Prior to founding Alvarez Legal, Mr. Alvarez worked at one of the nation’s largest insurance defense law firms, where he represented some of the largest insurance companies in the state of Florida. He now puts that experience and behind-the-scenes knowledge to work for policyholders all across Florida.
Whether it was as a lobbyist in the halls of the United States Congress, as a prosecutor in court everyday for the people of Florida, or as a civil trial attorney, Mr. Alvarez has spent his entire career in the trenches fighting for what is right. This unrelenting passion and pursuit for justice is why Mr. Alvarez founded Alvarez Legal Group, P.A., in order to solely represent the rights of policyholders with residential and commercial property damage insurance claims.
When he isn’t in court fighting for you, Mr. Alvarez is with his loving wife and their two boys in his hometown of Tampa, Florida. Born and raised in Tampa, Mr. Alvarez graduated from Jesuit High School and remains an active, engaged member of the local community.
