Meet San Antonio Personal Injury Attorney Paula Wyatt
Being a fighter for justice isn’t what I do – It’s who I am
Attorney Paula A. Wyatt is a founding partner of the Wyatt Law Firm, which concentrates on litigating catastrophic personal injury claims throughout Texas. Paula has extensive experience in handling complex litigation, including cases involving wrongful death, truck accidents, carbon monoxide exposure, oil field explosions and other injuries, defective industrial products, corporate negligence, and consumer safety.
Shortly after graduating from the University of Houston, Paula began her legal career as a prosecutor – Assistant District Lawyer – in Nueces County, Texas. She quickly distinguished herself as an accomplished, exceptional trial lawyer. She was instantly recognized as one of the most aggressive and productive prosecutors in the county. Paula soon became chief felony prosecutor for the 347th District Court and was instrumental in reducing the court’s backlog of cases.
