Criminal defense is the art of representing a client against the government from allegations of criminal conduct.
The primary objective is to maintain the client's freedom.
When that objective cannot be accomplished, the objective shifts to minimizing the consequences of a criminal prosecution such as incarceration, fine, or loss of other constitutional rights and privileges, such as the right to vote or the right to keep and bear arms.
Since 2003, I have represented hundreds of clients in criminal defense cases at all levels of the New Mexico criminal justice system.

Family law representation is the art of representing the client involving what is the client's most intimate and personal area of life: the client's family.
These types of cases include divorce, child custody, child support, and adoptions.
Because the cases in this area of law involve the client's family, the parties are frequently emotional.
Unlike most other types of litigation which tend to focus on past events, like criminal or personal injury cases, family cases are typically "in progress" and can be very chaotic and stressful.

Personal injury and Civil Rights representation is the art of representing the client against institutions of power for wrongs done by those institutions or the people those institutions represent.
In the context of personal injury cases, the opponent is almost always an insured person's insurance company with stockholders, a profit motive, and little regard to the injuries sustained by the victim.
To the insurance company, the client is a statistic and a business decision.
The attorney's job is to gather evidence to establish legal liability of the defendant, to prove legal damages from the injuries, and to negotiate with the insurance company on the client's behalf.
