Octavio Lopez – Personal Injury Attorney in Commerce, CA
At Lopez Law Group, we believe that personal injury law isn’t just about claims—it’s about people, purpose, and justice. That belief starts with our founder, Octavio Lopez, whose journey from student to attorney to advocate was built on a deep calling to help others.
A Life Mission to Serve and Empower
The pursuit of helping others has shaped Octavio’s life from the beginning. As an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he initially pursued medicine. But halfway through, he felt called in another direction—toward sociology, a field that seeks to understand how people and systems interact.
It wasn’t until an internship at his uncle’s law firm that his path became clear. Watching his uncle—also named Octavio—use the law to guide people through their most difficult moments struck a chord. Inspired by that experience, he made the decision to follow in his uncle’s footsteps and pursue a career in law.
Octavio went on to earn his Juris Doctor from the University of La Verne College of Law. He launched his legal career by opening a solo practice in Downtown Los Angeles, doing everything himself—receptionist, office manager, paralegal, and attorney. His early work spanned several fields, including criminal defense, bankruptcy, family law, immigration, and workers’ compensation. Eventually, he chose to dedicate his practice to personal injury law, where he felt he could make the most difference.
From Family Practice to Community Legacy
As fate would have it, Octavio was later joined by his uncle’s longtime legal secretary—bringing her vast knowledge and experience into the growing firm. Soon after, his uncle himself joined the practice. Together, they created a warm, welcoming, family-oriented environment where clients could feel safe, heard, and cared for.
Though his uncle has since retired, the legacy continues. Today, Lopez Law Group still feels like a family business—and that sense of personal connection is something Octavio strives to extend to every client.
“I’ll Do Whatever It Takes to Win.” – Kobe Bryant
“I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.”
— Kobe Bryant
To understand Octavio, you have to understand his love of basketball. Every March Madness, he and his cousin make a tradition of heading to Las Vegas to catch the action. But it’s more than a game—it’s a philosophy. Like great basketball teams, successful legal teams win through discipline, strategy, adaptability, and trust.
Octavio applies the same mindset to law: listening to the client, developing a game plan, coaching through every step, and adjusting when necessary. The foundation of his firm is built on these same principles.
Legal Advocacy That Feels Personal
Octavio doesn't just handle cases—he advocates for people. His goal is to help clients recover what they’ve lost and regain control over their lives. His clients aren't just numbers. They're individuals with families, futures, and stories that matter.
He’s not here to push for fast settlements. He’s here to do things right—thoroughly, ethically, and strategically.
“It is my honor to help and advocate for you. That is why I urge you to call our office if you’ve been involved in any accident. You may be entitled to a sizeable compensation.”
