William Gower, Esquire

Managing Partner
From a young age, I knew that I wanted to advocate on behalf of others in a courtroom. Growing up in Brandon, Florida, I began shadowing a local attorney as early as middle school to learn as much as possible about becoming an advocate for others. Being very competitive, at Brandon High School I competed at the state and national level in both pre-law intramural competitions and winning a team state championship with Brandon’s nationally recognized wrestling team.

Joseph G. Alvarez, Esquire

Managing Partner
Growing up my grandfather was my idol. He instilled in me at a young age a sense of duty to country and service to others. I never planned on attending college but instead dreamt of serving my country as an officer in the military. Tragically, a serious car accident on April 7, 2006, would preclude me from ever attaining that dream. As fate would have it, my life altering accident became a blessing in disguise. I viewed a career in law as an opportunity to advocate on behalf of those who could not otherwise find justice for themselves.

Christopher W. Mathena

Associate Attorney

I was raised with the values of hard work, perseverance, and standing up for what’s right—principles that continue to guide me. I discovered my passion for advocacy early on and pursued it through law school at South Texas College of Law, where I gained invaluable trial experience.

After graduating, I moved to Tampa, Florida, dedicating my career to civil litigation and personal injury law. Helping those who have been injured or wronged find justice and fair compensation became my mission. Over the years, I honed my skills representing plaintiffs at boutique litigation firms.

Now, as an attorney at Alvarez Gower Injury Law, I’m proud to work with a team that treats clients as people, not just cases. Whether handling personal injury, wrongful death, auto accidents, or negligent security claims, my goal remains the same—to give my clients a voice and guide them through an often overwhelming legal system.
