103 Espanola
Are you being charged? Someone in Rio Arriba County
Detention Center needs help?
You may feel overwhelmed, frightened, but this problem calls for action, not feelings. The best solution begins with a single step: finding a good lawyer. Before arrest in criminal cases, I may convince the Espanola prosecutor — typically an assistant First Judicial District Attorney — not to file charges or at least to issue a summons, thus avoiding the embarrassment of arrest and jail until the first hearing. This is true for misdemeanors including DUI, DWI, juvenile cases and even felony charges.
Often the situation is more serious before anyone calls me — the defendant has already been arrested and is waiting for the court system to handle his charges. If you are helping someone already in custody in Espanola or Tierra Amarilla, one of the first things we can do is request a bond hearing and ask the judge for a lower cash, property or signature bond. If you already saw the judge for your arraignment or first hearing, the court expects you to hire an attorney within 10 days or so. I can discuss your case on the phone or in person, because each case is different as I navigate through the court system, argue to dismiss some or all of the charges, persuade jurors to sign the correct verdict, seek the lightest sentence possible, appeal to higher courts, and every possible task in between. What can be said in general about every criminal case is that the “best lawyer” or at least a very good lawyer for your case is a attorney who will work hard to apply his experience and skills toward the best possible result. There are no guarantees, but hard work does pay off.
