Starlene Alves boasts a distinguished career spanning over a decade as a seasoned attorney and nearly an equal amount of time as a successful business owner, with a specialized focus on real estate law, estate planning, and business law. Launching her legal journey at the age of seventeen, Starlene’s early experience as a file clerk in a family law boutique firm laid the groundwork for her ascent to associate attorney before establishing her own practice.
Rooted in a strong work ethic cultivated in her immigrant upbringing, Starlene endeavors to connect with her clients on a personal level. Her commitment to community service is evident in her firm’s mission to not only provide accessible legal services to those in need, particularly in real estate, estate planning, and business matters but to educate those communities that don’t easily have access to the resources. More importantly, she lives in the community that she serves so she truly means it when she says she is invested in the financial well-being of the community and its people.
Presently, Starlene focuses a significant portion of her practice on transactional matters, specializing in real estate law, estate planning, and business law. By prioritizing these areas, she empowers individuals from underrepresented communities to navigate complex legal landscapes, securing their rights and fostering stronger financial futures.
