Alvaro Lizarraga is an excellent workers' compensation attorney. Not only does he fully understand the law, but he was also able to explain it to me in a way that I could understand. He was very responsive, patient and organized. I would highly recommend Alvaro to anyone in need of an attorney who will really fight for you if you get hurt at work.

I really want to thank Alvaro Lizarraga for everything he did for me. Even though my case was a challenge, he was the angel that fought for me, with both my feet being damaged and workers' comp basically telling me everything would get better. I felt so lost, with no hope. A co-worker referred me to Mr. Lizarraga, and since this was my first ever case, I knew nothing. Mr. Lizarraga explained everything in detail and told me to be honest about my pain. Even though it was hard, he trusted and believed in me, and with everything being denied he made sure I did every PT, acupuncture, and now aquatic therapy. Mr. Lizarraga was my angel and won my case when I wasn't expecting it. I was so blessed to have him help me with my case. Thanks again for being there for me. I recommend Alvaro S. Lizarraga.
