Alvin Casimere defends employers and insurance carriers in some of the most complex claims in workers’ compensation. As an associate in the firm’s workers’ compensation defense group in Houston, he handles matters under the Defense Base Act (DBA) and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), guiding claims from first assessment through litigation. He conducts legal research and discovery, evaluates exposure, and builds case strategy, while working closely with clients and claim professionals to give them clear, practical advice at every stage. His experience includes settlement negotiations, independent medical examinations, and depositions, and he appears before the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Administrative Law Judges.

Alvin’s legal foundation was built in the courtroom itself. He began his career as a Deputy Clerk in the Dallas County Criminal Courts, where he spent three years learning how the justice system works from the inside. He then deepened his skills in appellate legal support with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office and in insurance regulation and legal research with the Louisiana Department of Insurance. That path gives him a rare perspective on how courts operate, how regulators think, and how a claim is won or lost.

He earned his Juris Doctor from Southern University Law Center in 2024, where he was a member of the Honors Board of Advocates, participated in the American Bar Association’s Diversity Pipeline Judicial Clerkship Program, and served as Southwest Regional Secretary for the Southwest Black Law Students Association. He was also active in the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University (2017).

Alvin is committed to mentorship, community engagement, and opening doors for the next generation of legal professionals. He is the author of “3 Practical Ways First-Year Associates Can Overcome Impostor Syndrome,” published by the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division in 2026.
Outside the office, Alvin enjoys running, travel, fitness, and time with family and friends. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.
