Rick R. Olivarez, founding and managing partner of Olivarez Madruga Law Organization (OMLO), is widely considered to be one of Southern California’s leading legal practitioners. He 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, 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. Olivarez’s innovative leadership and expertise in serving his clients has enabled him to develop OMLO into Southern California’s premier minority-owned law firm while ensuring OMLO remains an inclusive, diverse and supportive work environment for its team – reflecting the diverse makeup of the clients and communities it serves.
