Prior to becoming the District Attorney, Alvin served as an Assistant Attorney General at the New York State Attorney General’s Office and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. In these roles, Alvin handled a wide array of criminal cases, including armed robbery, witness tampering, narcotics and gun trafficking, wage and hour violations, public corruption, and money laundering. He ended his service in the New York AG’s Office as the Chief Deputy Attorney General, overseeing the office’s criminal and civil investigations and litigation.
After his government service, Alvin was a Visiting Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Racial Justice Project at New York Law School. In that role, he represented Eric Garner’s mother and sister in a lawsuit against the City of New York.
Alvin earned his A.B. from Harvard University, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and clerked for Hon. Robert P. Patterson, Jr. in the Southern District of New York. Alvin is a former member of the Board of Directors of the New York Urban League and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. He is a Sunday School teacher at his church.
