Octavio Lopez
Injury Attorney
The pursuit to help others has been a core element to Octavio’s life mission since his youth. As an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Barbra, Octavio was studying to be a doctor, but half way through his studies, he switched his major to sociology—a field that analyzes and explains important matters in our personal lives, our communities, and the world—with an idea that he’d become either a psychologist or a counselor.
All of that changed when her interned at his uncle’s law firm. Octavio became inspired while observing how his uncle, also named Octavio, helped people through their toughest times by utilizing the law. As fate would have it, he followed in the footsteps of the uncle he was named after and embarked on his journey to pursue his law degree.
After Octavio earned his J.D. from the University of La Verne, College of Law, he rolled up his sleeves and set up his solo office in Downtown Los Angeles, wearing every hat in the office—receptionist, office manager, paralegal, and attorney—while gaining experience in several law fields, such as criminal, bankruptcy, family, immigration, and workers compensation, before choosing to focus his practice on personal injury matters.
When Octavio finally got a legal secretary, it was his uncle’s longtime secretary, who brought her immense knowledge and experience to Octavio’s practice. Soon after that, his uncle moved in and it was truly a family business. Although his uncle has retired, today, the office still has the feel of a family business, and that personal touch and sense of warmth and comfort is extended to every client who walks through the door of the Lopez Law Group.
“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
One cannot truly know Octavio without knowing about his love of basketball, so much so that it’s become a yearly tradition for Octavio and his cousin to travel to Las Vegas every weekend during March Madness. It’s often written that sports builds integrity and character, so it’s plain to see how basketball invokes the same framework in which Octavio guides his team and manages his firm.
In both the practice of law and basketball, one must be disciplined and never waver from the foundation of the craft, while, at the same time, an elite player must be an innovative problem-solver in order to outperform the competition and lead the team to a win. However, winning is achieved only when the key elements of listening, teamwork, coaching are embraced. It’s no small wonder why Octavio gravitates toward this fast-paced game where refined skills, perseverance, and mental agility are required. The same tenets of an elite basketball team are the bedrock on which the Lopez Law Group is built: listening to the client, teamwork, a game plan to win, giving and taking advice from the team and from the client.
The Lopez Law Group is the legal team that will get you the win you deserve.
