RICK OLIVAREZ
Founding & Managing Partner
Olivarez Madruga Law Organization LLP
Rick R. Olivarez, founding and managing partner of Olivarez Madruga Law Organization, is widely considered to be one of Southern California’s leading legal practitioners. Olivarez dedicated the early years of his career to providing essential legal services to municipal, education and public agency clients.
Shortly after the 2008 recession, Olivarez made the decision to continue building upon his reputation for providing the highest quality counsel, at fair and affordable rates, and establish his own firm. In doing so, he overcame the challenges of starting a new business at that time, during which banks were hesitant to lend, even exhausting his own IRA in the process. He hired fellow partner and seasoned litigator Tom Madruga and founded the firm of Olivarez Madruga Law Organization, offering specialties in public agency law, labor and employment, real estate development, contract law, environmental compliance, redevelopment, construction law, premises liability, tort law, and legislative advocacy.
