Born & reared in South Texas, Omar G. Alvarez is a 2004 St. Mary's University School of Law graduate. He graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 1999, with High Honors, with a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science. Being the only college graduate in his family, Mr. Alvarez started his legal career in 2001 when he began attending law school at St. Mary's University School of Law. After his first year of law school, he began clerking for a respected personal injury law firm in San Antonio and remained there throughout his second and third years of law school. After obtaining his law license in 2004, Mr. Alvarez continued employment as a San Antonio personal injury lawyer at the same law firm for approximately two years where he assisted in recovering tens of millions for clients. His passion and love for justice led Mr. Alvarez to form his own firm in September 2006.
"My practice is unique in that I am exclusively a plaintiffs lawyer - that means I never have, and never will, defend an insurance company. I strive to protect only the rights of the victims."
"I am confident I am the best qualified and experienced for kicking the other side's ass for you!"
