Monterey, Calif., (July 19, 2012) - Louis T. Lozano, respected education attorney practicing in Monterey County, has been named by California Super Lawyers magazine as one of the top attorneys in California for 2012. This is the seventh consecutive year that Mr. Lozano has received this honor of being named a Northern California Super Lawyer. Only five percent of attorneys in the state receive this honor. Mr. Lozano was the only recipient of this prestigious recognition in Northern California practicing in the area of Schools and Education law.

He is best known for his labor negotiation skills and has resolved many serious labor disputes, avoiding costly strikes for his clients.
