Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through no fault of their own in car accidents, workplace incidents, and premises liability cases. Our team handles medical expense negotiations, lost wage claims, and pain and suffering compensation. With expertise in New Mexico and Texas tort law, we ensure clients receive maximum compensation through settlements or jury trials when necessary.
Criminal Defense
Our firm defends clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges including DWI, drug possession, and assault. We challenge evidence admissibility, negotiate plea bargains, and prepare for trial when needed. With experience in federal and state courts, we protect clients' rights while minimizing long-term consequences like license suspension or criminal records.
Wrongful Death
We help families pursue justice when losing loved ones to negligence or misconduct. Our representation includes proving duty of care breaches in car accidents, medical malpractice, or workplace fatalities. We recover compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional distress while holding responsible parties accountable.
Truck Accidents
We handle complex cases involving 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles, navigating federal trucking regulations and insurance company tactics. Our investigation includes black box data retrieval, driver log analysis, and liability determination against trucking companies to secure fair compensation for catastrophic injuries or fatalities.
Motorcycle Accidents
We advocate for motorcyclists injured by negligent drivers, challenging biased insurance claims that blame riders. Our approach includes reconstructing accident scenes, proving liability through traffic law violations, and quantifying damages for severe injuries like spinal trauma or traumatic brain injuries requiring long-term care.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, exchange information with other parties, and contact our office within 24 hours to preserve evidence and meet legal deadlines.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
New Mexico allows three years from the accident date, but evidence preservation requires immediate action. Contact us promptly to ensure timely filing and investigation.
Can I afford legal representation?
We work on contingency fees for injury cases - you pay nothing unless we win. Criminal defense cases have transparent flat-fee structures with payment plans available.
What makes your firm different from others?
Our founder's 100% trial win record in felony cases, combined with multi-state practice experience and 24/7 client accessibility set us apart from traditional law firms.
How are settlements calculated?
We consider medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. Our calculations follow New Mexico's comparative negligence laws while aggressively negotiating with insurance companies.
What happens if the other driver is uninsured?
We explore uninsured motorist claims, personal injury protection coverage, and direct litigation against responsible parties to recover compensation for medical bills and vehicle damage.
