Cezar J. Torrez

Attorney at Law

I am attorney Cezar J. Torrez, born to immigrant parents and raised in a working-class neighborhood of San Francisco. I financed my college and law school education by working in a variety of hourly jobs, including paratransit driver, construction worker, retail staff, and restaurant employee.

So, I know all about long hours and workplace hazards. I get why blue-collar workers hesitate to report an injury or file a claim, fearing they will lose their job. Those firsthand insights motivate me to fight harder for my clients, because I know how the workers’ compensation system is stacked against ordinary working people.
