Paez Michael A Attorney At Law

If you have a pending DUI charge in Alameda County you have to reach out to Michael Paez. He represented me in an Alameda County DUI case and was able to work his magic by having my would be DUI reduced to a Wet/​Reckless. He saved me thousands in fines and insurance costs over the next ten years and successfully negotiated no service work, interlock device or extra jail time. He is responsive, practical and extremely sharp. His confidence and approach made me feel at ease through the entire process. Without his help I would have lost my job and would have been forced to look for work without a drivers license. Thanks Michael

Mike and I went to law school together starting in 1992 and in the past 22 years he’s proven himself to be a good guy, a good friend, and a great criminal defense lawyer. I refer people to Mike all the time, because I know he will do an honest, thorough, and comprehensive job of defending them. When I call Mike for advice on a criminal matter, he is straight up about what to expect and, according to the clients who have reported back to me, he is connected and knows the system and works within it very well. In fact, I don’t refer people to anybody other than Mike these days, because I trust him. As a fellow attorney, I know that trust with your lawyer is extremely important and you can trust Mike to earn his fees and defend you with integrity and intelligence.

You do not measure a good Lawyer by the run of the mill cases, you measure them when the case gets messy, ugly, and tough. Mine was sooo… such a case and I am very, very glad I sought a second opinion and was recommend to Michael Paez.
Be cautious of any lawyer (doctors too) that say (with attitude) they know every thing about your case and situation… they really do not. I really needed a team of lawyers to solve and settle my complex case. Paez had the legal skills, the legal network, and most importantly was not afraid to leverage it. I admire a lawyer that will say I think I know the best way to approach this with the DA but I am going to call another lawyer that is highly specialized in this area and get a second opinion. He did this often while I sat next to him. Last thing you need is a lawyer with «it is my way or the highway» and will not check his ego at the door and reach out for multiple opinions and options.
Even the DA (Paez knew them all well) was surprised by his approach on one component of my case but Michael knew he had just talked to the leading legal authority in the area so was confident he could pull it off. All worked out because of this virtual «Paez» legal team and I got the best deal anyone could have negotiated. Fellow Unilocalers, I whole heartedly recommend Michael Paez as your best option when dealing with the Santa Clara Office of the DA.

Michael has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. He is very smart and knows how to deal with the justice system. My particular case was a very confusing case which he was able to help greatly. I agree with the person below me, you cant trust every lawyer because a lot of them lie and just want your money. Michael does this as a passion and you can tell by his motivation to work. He has a love for this! He is very ambitious and will work to cater to your needs.
He does not promise what he cant deliver, he is a man of his word.
I highly recommend Michael to anyone who is in need of a lawyer that knows the ins and outs of the judicial system and its laws.

I highly recommend this attorney! he’s honest, gives excellent advise, is VERY helpful, & KNOWS what he’s doing, very cool attorney!!! he helped me out with a case, & now he’s helping 3 of my other friends on DUI & drug related cases.
