Practice Areas Overview

San Antonio, Texas, Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

At the San Antonio – based law firm of MICHAEL R. DE LA PAZ, A Professional Corporation, I focus on the following areas of practice:

Motor Vehicle Accidents – Simply put, the insurance companies do not want to pay injured individuals an amount that is fair or just. My job is to prove your case and manage it with a focus on maximizing the recovery by trial or settlement.

Wrongful Death – Wrongful death cases are rife with emotional elements. While you and your family grieve, I investigate the facts and research the law to maximize your recovery. The pain and suffering of the deceased and your financial losses and emotional distress are each a major focus in these cases.

Jones Act – If you are an employee injured on a shipping vessel, I can help. Let my growing knowledge of the Jones Act and legal skill work for you.

Uninsured Motorist / Bad Faith – Negligent drivers present a hazard on the roads. Those who decide to drive without insurance are taking their negligence to a new level. Don’t let your insurance company do that also by failing to pay you benefits to which you may be entitled.

Commercial Trucking Accidents – Accidents involving 18-wheelers are complex and require prompt action. A thorough investigation into the driver, logbooks and data from the black box, can mean the difference between a marginal recovery and truly just compensation.

DWI Defense – A DWI conviction is for life. It affects your freedom, drivers license and insurability. Within 15 days of your DWI arrest, your license will be suspended unless we request an administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing. A DWI defense lawyer will represent you at that hearing and gain insight on the evidence against you for preparation of the criminal defense.

Drug Crimes Defense – If you have been charged with a drug crime, I investigate the facts surrounding the traffic stop or supporting the warrant. If your rights were violated, I fight to have all charges dismissed.

Intoxication Assault / Manslaughter – Charges of intoxication assault / manslaughter require an aggressive and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney. At the law firm of MICHAEL R. DE LA PAZ, A Professional Corporation, I investigate thoroughly to protect of your rights.

Internet Crimes – The Internet has been used to take money, steal identities, and lure minors. If you are charged with one of these crimes, you need an attorney who will conduct a full investigation, research the law, and team with computer experts to analyze your case.
