We regularly defend clients in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas who have been charged with these crimes:
Traffic Violations - Although most people don't think of them as crimes, traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences. These traffic-related charges can become part of a criminal record and result in license suspension, so it is crucial to have an experienced criminal defense lawyer's help. A conviction for a traffic offense such as reckless driving, speeding, or driving with a suspended license will result in fines and may affect your driving record and increase your insurance rates. For more information, see our Traffic Citation Advisory or contact us for experienced representation against traffic charges.
DUI/DWI - Charges of driving under the influence of intoxicating drugs or alcohol can have serious criminal consequences. A DUI/DWI conviction may result in fines, the revocation or suspension of your driver's license, jail time, and cancellation of your insurance coverage. When facing an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. We can help protect your rights and provide an aggressive defense if you are facing drunk driving charges.
Misdemeanors - Even "minor" crimes can haunt an offender in the future. A conviction may make it more difficult to change jobs or to get certain licenses. A conviction, even for a misdemeanor, gives the offender a criminal record. If you have been accused of a misdemeanor such as shoplifting or property damage, you should treat it seriously and contact a defense attorney.
Other Crimes and Criminal Appeals - Our firm offers dedicated representation to individuals accused of or charged with other crimes, such as sexual assault or other assault offenses, fraud or other white collar crimes, and crimes involving illegal drugs. We also handle appeals for individuals who believe they were wrongfully convicted.
