Liza Vasquez Garza

When experience, courtroom presence, and strategic insight are critical, Liza Garza brings decades of trial work and a steady, prepared approach to every case she handles.

Experience and Practice Focus

Liza Vasquez Garza brings nearly thirty years of legal experience to her role as a litigation attorney. Her career has been rooted in Texas, with a strong concentration in South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley. Over that time, she has tried more than fifty cases to verdict, demonstrating both consistency and confidence in high-pressure courtroom settings.

Her experience extends beyond trial work. Liza previously worked with insurance companies, gaining direct insight into how claims are evaluated, challenged, and often minimized. That perspective gives her a distinct advantage when building cases, allowing her to anticipate defense strategies and respond with precision.

Approach to Cases

Liza approaches each case with a clear understanding that no two situations are the same. She prioritizes individualized attention, ensuring that every client’s circumstances are fully understood and reflected in the way the case is developed.

Her process is built on communication and preparation. Clients are kept informed, expectations are clear, and each step is handled with purpose. She believes that strong cases come from both detailed preparation and a clear understanding of how the case will be challenged.

Even in complex situations—such as when insurance coverage is initially denied—Liza has successfully reversed decisions, established coverage, and secured meaningful recoveries for her clients.

Education and Professional Affiliations

A native of Mercedes, Texas, Liza earned her Bachelor of Arts in Government and History from the University of Texas at Austin and her Juris Doctor from St. Mary’s University School of Law. She has been licensed to practice law in Texas since 1996.

She is an active member of the Hidalgo County Bar Association and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and has served in leadership roles within local legal and community organizations.

Community and Personal Background

Liza has lived in McAllen for over twenty years with her husband and their three children. She remains deeply involved in her community through church leadership, school committees, and local youth programs.

Her connection to the Rio Grande Valley is long-standing, and that connection is reflected in how she approaches her work: grounded, consistent, and committed to the people and families she represents.
