OUR PRACTICE AREAS
While more than ninety-five percent of divorce cases are ultimately “settled” without the need to go before a judge on a contested trial basis, there are times and cases when both parties “cannot agree to agree” on the terms of their divorce and must formally “try” their case and its issues before the court. The ultimate decision to go to trial is usually “a last resort decision.” If we are honest with ourselves the truth is, everybody loses in divorce cases, nobody wins in most instances. The staff at the Advocate Law Center will aggressively fight to ensure their client’s rights are protected that decisions are arrived at based on the facts and evidence combined with effective and persuasive legal arguments.
Whether you are contemplating a divorce, need experienced legal guidance through the divorce process, or are experiencing "post- divorce decree" issues, you can be confident in knowing Advocate Law Center, will vigorously represent you and give your case the focus needed to arrive at a positive outcome.

      Facing criminal charges in the New Mexico criminal justice system is very serious. New Mexico has a reputation for being intolerant of people who find themselves caught up in the court system. Because of this it is extremely important that you have an aggressive and experienced legal team to defend your rights. In New Mexico there are two types of criminal charges: Felony charges are crimes that carry significant sentences and the real possibility of having to serve jail time, pay large fines, and the loss of some constitutional rights. Felony convictions may follow a person for life after the case is complete. Therefore, it is important to take felony charges seriously. Felonies involve dangerous weapons, infliction of serious injury or death, high amounts of property damage, or possession of certain types of drugs, etc.
      Misdemeanor charges are less severe than felonies. However, they can also have serious effects on an individual’s life. On top of a possible six months in the county jail, fines, fees, and probation requirements, a person could face problems passing background checks for new jobs, or keeping firearms while the probation period is in effect.

            We understand the importance of communication and transparency between attorney and client.  Although we would like to talk to you weekly by telephone, that would be neither practical nor productive.  Legal matters have a way of stretching out over long periods of time.  To you, it may often seem like ages have gone by without activity, however, in fact, much behind-the-scenes work is being completed so that on the day your matter is ready, nothing will be overlooked.  In order to keep the cost of legal services down while maximizing communications, we will strive to keep you informed when anything important happens and to respond to your questions in a reasonable time.  In addition, we will inform you when your presence is required, either in our office or in court.

            Simply stated, you will receive superior service through careful consideration, confident counsel and unprecedented knowledge by one of the region’s top legal team that is both efficient and effective.

            We are interested in your questions, and we want you to ask them. Sometimes we are required to be out of the office, even for days at a time. When in the office, we meet with clients, complete research, review documents, or prepare contracts, briefs, or pleadings. For the most efficient and quickest response please contact one of our legal assistants, as they have a working knowledge of all aspects of your case. If the assistant cannot answer your question, every attempt will be made get the answer for you or arrange to have your attorney contact you as quickly as possible as we understand your concerns and issues. Above all, leave a message so we know your concern in advance. If you do that, we will always try to get an answer back to you even if your attorney is out of the office when you call.

            The average time it takes for a personal injury case to go to trial is one to two years from the time the lawsuit is filed; however, the time it takes to reach a settlement varies greatly from one case to the next. This is largely dependent on the injuries a person receives. Some cases are complete in 2-3 months, and others may take much longer depending on the circumstances.

            In the State of New Mexico, injury victims are entitled to be reimbursed for all of their accident-related harms and losses. This includes past medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, funeral expenses, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and others. Injuries affect everyone differently and each case presents its own unique set of circumstances. Our injury lawyers can help determine all of the financial which apply to your case.

            Our attorneys at Advocate Law Center have experience in multiple fields of law. We currently accept cases in Criminal Law, Business Law, Family Law, Estate Planning, & Record Expungement.
