Before becoming one of Florida's most respected trial lawyers, Alex Alvarez served as a Miami-Dade detective who led the historic "Miami River Cops" investigation — resulting in the conviction of 18 corrupt officers. That same relentless investigative instinct drives every medical malpractice case he takes.
Alex traces the entire chain of negligence — identifying every responsible party and building the strongest possible case. As a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer — a distinction held by less than 1% of Florida attorneys — Alex is prepared to take your case all the way to a jury.
Most medical malpractice lawyers hire outside medical experts to review your records. At The Alvarez Law Firm, that medical expertise is on your legal team. Herb Borroto earned his medical degree (M.D.) before attending law school — giving him the unique ability to analyze medical charts, treatment protocols, and clinical decision-making with the understanding of someone trained in medicine.
In medical malpractice cases, the medical records are everything. Herb Borroto identifies exactly what happened — what treatment was provided, whether proper protocols were followed, whether early warning signs were recognized, and who bears responsibility. This dual medical-legal training is an advantage that most law firms simply cannot offer.
"When I review medical records, I bring the lens of my medical training — and that changes everything about what we find."
— Herb Borroto, M.D., J.D.
