DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: NM Stat § 30-3-15. All couples argue. But often, when police are called, and an investigations begins, the wrong party gets charged. Why? Sometimes because police will not consider whether a female could be guilty. Or, a thorough investigation is simply not done. But “Domestic Violence” charges are considered a serious crime of violence which can immediately affect your 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms. Further, it can ruin your professional standing. Moreover, domestic “Restraining Orders” are often given without any actual finding of threat, violence or harm to simply settle these matters at court. But, there is a high price to pay to agreeing to a restraining Order to simply “make the case go away.” Because such orders represent to most persons a terrible black eye on your resume. It makes a person seem reckless, violent, mentally unstable or a cruel individual – regardless of the facts. These orders will affect immigration status, employment opportunities, military career, and issues of custody rights. Don’t allow a shabby investigation sabotage your future!

SEX CRIMES: NM Stat § 30-9. Among the most embarrassing and difficult charges are for sex crimes. In addition, such charges often cause devastating harm to the reputations of often innocent defendants. But don’t make the mistake of waiting for the state to dismiss the charges. Such a development does not happen without an experienced attorney working your case and pointing out the holes in the prosecution and demanding justice for their clients.

CHILD CRIMES: Prisons are filled with innocent people. If you are accused of committing a sex crime involving a child you are probably panicking. The typical reaction of the average citizen, who believe much of what they hear in the news, cannot give the wrongly accused defendant much hope. Don’t panic or lose hope: being accused does not mean you will be found guilty. With a seasoned attorney and a well-organized defense, your chances of beating these charges just improved immensely.
