When you have a problem, the law office you contact matters. Jordan and Ken were able to have my charges dismissed. Their excellent skills and knowledge got me the best possible outcome. They have so many years of experience, and I was always able to talk to someone right away. If you need help with a criminal matter, call them now.

This was a difficult case with high emotional stakes and overwhelming evidence against us. Kenneth Gleria, Jack Mkhitarian and Jordan Haddad at NM Criminal Law Offices went above and beyond with their legal knowledge, experience and persistence to work toward the minimum sentence for our Son. They were diligent in their duties to research and prepare the case. We were beyond grateful for the positive outcome that Mr. Gleria and the team were able to achieve for us. It was not only their legal expertise but also the compassion and support that Mr. Gleria provided at every legal proceeding that gave us hope. He was responsive to our phone calls. He was truly the guardian for our Son throughout this case preparing him and keeping him informed every step of the way, even afterward to seeing a better future for himself. We would highly recommend the attorneys at NM Criminal Law Offices to defend you in your court case because of the exceptional work that they do. -Abeita AK

Jack Mkhitarian is definitely one of the best attorneys I've ever had the pleasure in dealing with, he and his staff are truly professional and pationate about their work. Jack will fight for your rights and give you the best chance in receiving proper justice in any case, you would be doing yourself an injustice chosing any other law office to represent you. Jack and Jordan were so knowledgeable and have an extreme desire to win, whatever the situation may be. This law office is what I call a five star and one of the best I've ever seen, if you need representation, don't hesitate, they can help you get your life on order and will do whatever it takes to make sure justice is heard. Call now.

I know this sounds cliche but I really think of New Mexico Criminal Law Offices as family now as they have successfully assisted my family with two separate legal issues. Kenneth, Jack and Jackie work as a team and are always responsive and professional. Jackie Lewis, the office manager, is always available to answer questions and her compassion and humor brought light to sometimes very difficult situations. Both Kenneth Gleria and Jack Mkhitarian, Attorneys at Law, really took the time to alleviate any fears by answering all of our questions and making sure we were aware of all options and strategies. I really felt like this office had our back and took care of us. Thank you thank you thank you!

Jack & his legal team are outstanding! Being a single mother, fighting for her fathers freedom, the front desk personally helped by watching my son as Jack & I sorted out legal matters. Jack went above & beyond to ensure paperwork was submitted in a timely manner, even if it meant traveling numerous miles to various court houses. Jack is highly educated and impressive in the courtroom. Jack remained patient as our family struggled to understand New Mexico’s broken law system. This year Jack has given us the greatest gift of them all, my father is home celebrating the holidays with his family. I would highly recommend Jack & his team for all of your criminal law needs.

Every criminal charge comes with a new set of facts and a new way to interpret the law, which our attorneys are experts in handling.

Attorney Image

It is an easy trap to fall into if you’re not careful. Criminal defense attorneys have seen so many cases that they can be tempted to use something of a “one size fits all” approach to cases of the same charge. In other words, a Robbery is a Robbery is a Robbery, etc. After many years, attorneys can fall into the trap of seeing each Robbery (or any other type of case) as very similar. It’s like driving to work each day. You’ve done it so many times that the route is ingrained in your brain and you don’t even think about it; you just drive there each day on autopilot.

But you can rest assured that our attorneys are never on autopilot. Although our attorneys focus exclusively on criminal defense and therefore are knowledgeable in the best arguments to make for each case, we also understand that your case offers a unique set of facts and circumstances, and that each and every detail matters. Although we have over 2 decades of combined experience in handling criminal cases – which means we’ve handled just about every type of charge there is many times – we know that no two cases are alike. We never make assumptions, and we look at each case through fresh eyes.

This approach also gives us the opportunity to do what we love most: fight harder for you by introducing unique and cutting edge arguments to the Court that they may never have seen before. This gives you your best shot at getting a great result, and helps to establish case law that will help other accused persons into the future.

How can we help you?
