To help prepare you for the legal challenges you face, we believe it is a good idea to learn some basic information about personal injury law. At the Law Office of Michael R. De La Paz, we believe that providing you with honest advice and a bit of basic legal information can make a real difference in your understanding of your case. Every legal case is at least a two-sided story—your side versus the rest. We are committed to using our knowledge of the legal system, our skills and years of experience to obtain the result you want in your case. But that doesn’t mean that you aren’t also a participant in your own case.
