The Arce Law Office, PLLC, consists of two personal injury attorneys who happen to be married 34 years.  They have been in private practice together for 15 years.  Michael and Yolanda attended William Howard Taft High School , Bronx, together.  Working together and successfully is not a problem for them.  They work in the community; volunteering to teach law to public school teens and operating a soup kitchen which they fund. They also do volunteer work for local shelters. We handle cases in the five boroughs and Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.
