Law Offices of JD Herrera

As the founder of the Law Offices of JD Herrera, I have dedicated my legal career to providing comprehensive and strategic representation in criminal defense, personal injury, aviation law, and entertainment law. With over four decades of experience since my admission to the New Mexico Bar in 1978, I have served as an Assistant District Attorney in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, where I prosecuted complex criminal cases, including state-level death penalty homicides. Since entering private practice in 1985, I have focused on defending clients in state and federal criminal cases, achieving notable success in high-stakes federal death penalty cases. My expertise extends to personal injury litigation, aviation law through my FAA pilot certification, and entertainment law via my work with film production companies.

Recognized as a board-certified criminal defense trial specialist by the New Mexico Board of Legal Specialization since 1991, I combine deep legal knowledge with practical experience to deliver tailored solutions. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my memberships with prestigious organizations such as the U.S. Supreme Court Bar, National Transportation Safety Board Bar Association, and the Lawyer-Pilots Bar Association. I prioritize client advocacy, ensuring each case is approached with meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to achieving the best possible outcome.
