Daniel Alvarez, Esq

Daniel Alvarez is a skilled trial attorney at Franco Munoz, known for delivering real wins for injured workers. A graduate of UC Hastings (now UC Law SF), Daniel combines a big-firm experience with sharp litigation instincts to get results where it counts.

Before advocating for injured workers, Daniel gained invaluable experience at KPMG US LLP and PwC, where he worked on complex tax and real estate transactions. That background sharpened his ability to analyze financials, navigate regulations, and spot inconsistencies—skills he now uses to challenge insurers, expose employer and insurance misconduct, and maximize compensation for his clients.

Since joining the firm in 2023, Daniel has secured six-figure settlements, retroactive disability awards, and trial victories on issues ranging from invalid modified work offers, securing state doctor evaluators to benefit applicant’s cases, to cross-examining hostile witnesses. His courtroom confidence and trial muscle memory make him a force in every phase of litigation.

At the core of Daniel’s practice is a simple mission: hold insurance companies accountable and fight for the compensation injured workers deserve.
