• Criminal Appeals: challenging convictions in state and federal courts, identifying procedural errors, misconduct, or misinterpretations of the law that could lead to a new trial or exoneration.
• Post-Conviction Relief: Filing habeas corpus petitions to address constitutional violations that occurred during the original trial, such as ineffective assistance of counsel.
• Immigration Appeals: Representing non-citizens facing deportation or visa denials before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and federal circuit courts.
• Expungements: Helping eligible individuals clear their criminal records in New Mexico, opening doors to better employment and housing opportunities.
