050 New Mexico Kidnap
Arrested in New Mexico for Kidnapping?
You may feel overwhelmed and frightened, but homicide charges call for action, not feelings. The best solution begins with a single step: finding a good lawyer.
There are more criminal defense lawyers in new-mexico than in rural New Mexico, but throughout our sparsely populated state, only a handful of criminal defense lawyers have much experience handling crimes of violence like kidnapping and false imprisonment. And none are rated higher among our fellow lawyers and judges. For example, I have handled over a hundred murder cases including 13 capital trials before our state abolished the death penalty. I have been lead counsel for several death penalty and countless crimes of violence trials in new-mexico as well as new-mexico, Tucumcari, Clovis, Portales, Roswell, Hobbs, Fort Sumner, Las Vegas, Tierra Amarilla, new-mexico, new-mexico, Estancia, Sandoval County, Los Lunas, Socorro, Truth or Consequences, Las Cruces, Reserve, and the list goes on.
I would like to think I have made a difference in cases involving crimes of violence. But no lawyer, no matter how experienced, can promise you a miracle. Violent cases depend heavily on the facts developed before trial. But I can guarantee you whatever time and energy it takes to give everything I have to work toward the best possible result in your case. The rest is out of my hands.

Criminal Defense Lawyers offer free consultations by phone, e-mail and in person. There is never any obligation to hire an attorney, especially in this type of case. Consultations are an excellent way to gain trust and confidence in your decision to hire me. Often the question is not whether to hire me, but whether the family can afford a private lawyer. Let’s face it, trials are expensive and time-consuming if done right.
