Fierce Advocacy for Workers Across the Country
At Avanti Law Group, we’ve been fighting for workers’ rights for over two decades. From local courtrooms to federal courts across the country, our team—led by nationally recognized trial attorney Robert Anthony Alvarez—has taken on employers of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies, to protect employees from exploitation, discrimination, retaliation, and wage theft.

Whether you’re an hourly worker, a salaried professional, or a migrant laborer, we will fight to ensure your voice is heard and your rights are respected.
