It seems like this guy doesn’t know how to dress, talk, prepare for trial or even answer a basic question. Or just doesn’t care to put in the effort maybe? I’m convinced his positive reviews are fake. Not a litigator from my perspective. From the first meeting with Mr. Jennings something didn’t feel right. I couldn’t help but form the opinion that he was the wrong attorney for a criminal case. In my opinion his speech impediment really hinders his performance. It seems that this man gathers info from clients and sides with the state attorney. You may have a better chance with a public defender. I paid him $3800 and this man withdrew from my case before trial. From my experience it appears that he has a biased perspective and apparently he does not like to cross examine police officers. Not a good combination when your freedom is on the line.

Good lawyer and helped me with my case did a great job
Review
If I could give them a zero, I would. My attorney showed up late to two of my pretrials and didn’t show up to one. I had to keep pushing my trial back because he wasn’t there when the judge called me up. Humiliating. Poor communication between their clients. I felt like they didn’t care about me and it felt more like a lecture. They didn’t help me with anything. I ended up pleading guilty so that I could stop working with this attorney. I will never recommend Shane Jennings to anyone I know.
Review
Great man, who believes in doing his best for the sake of justice not personal gain....
Review
Lifesaver!!! We are so happy we had Mr. Jennings on our side, to fight my husband's case. We are from Tucson, and we suddenly got notice that charges were filed and he needed to appear in Deming, NM. Not only did we never have to drive to NM, but in less than 3 weeks, the case was dismissed altogether. This guy doesn't mess around, and doesn't hesitate. He is amazing! He and his assistant, Leslie, were both so awesome to work with, and always helped reassure me, and keep me calm during this terrifying ordeal. I hope I never need his services again, but if anyone is facing criminal charges, call him! He will do whatever he can to help! Thank you again!!

Maria Padilla is the best! From the start, she explained clearly the process and what to expect, and kept me updated on the status of my case. She is very professional, smart, extremely knowledgeable, honest, and has the self-confidence and determination to do all she can for you. She ultimately got me a dismissal!
Review
Ms.Padilla is the kind of lawyer you would want. She is professional and very responsive. She called me right away at 7:00pm when I got home from work and found out I was charged. I was scared and worried and she put my mind at ease. I read the negative reviews before I hired her. But the positive reviews and my experience out weigh those by a long shot. Her personality is exactly what you want in court
Review
Maria has amazing characteristics; reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, timely, strong communication and honesty- to name just a few. She took her time to explain the process along with several possible outcomes. She made a complicated situation turn into one we could take a breathe of relief after our first meeting. To top it off, our case was dismissed. I highly recommend Maria & Padilla, Montoya and Associates:
Review
Maria Padilla, she will get it done. Very classy, professional and honest. Whenever I felt anxiety about how the system would treat me, I'd send her a message and right away I would get a response. Her confidence helped me stay confident through my hard times. When you have her on your team, you know you are being taken care of well. I HIGHLY recommend Miss Padilla to be your defensive attorney. I was sent MANY flyers from different attorney's in the area and hers was the only one I called.
Review
The most important thing to do when receiving a summons is to HIRE AN ATTORNEY IMMEDIATELY!!! I met with Maria Padilla and immediately felt confidence that she was a strong lawyer with tons of legal knowledge. She inspires “the perfect lawyer” vibe! Hired! Update: I received a copy of all the paperwork that Maria Padilla submitted to the court system. I was very impressed by the numerous cases that she referenced and I am thrilled that my case is moving forward smoothly. I can’t express just how grateful I am to have the best lawyer in Albuquerque. Final Update: Case pending dismissal; I’m completely impressed by Maria Padilla’s knowledge and how well she fought for me. The results speak for themselves! This review was created by a REAL person with a REAL NM case.

David Serna is the Michael Jordan of the New Mexico legal system ! Never being in trouble in my life I found myself in an almost hopeless situation were law enforcement had falsified information and blatantly lied about the events that had transpired. I was arrested and facing serious outrageous charges for merely speaking my mind. The “defendants “ in this case were the law enforcement officers themselves that lied on the charges. Knowing that most courts side with law enforcement I needed someone with years of experience, guts and the willingness to take on these expert liars so I retained Mr Serna as my attorney as he and I would frequent the same cigar establishment and he was well known for a previous case. I met with him and immediately felt very confident with my decision and with how the case would turn out. He was very knowledgeable and strategic and laid out a plan that he ultimately followed to a tee. He worked diligently to gather all the info necessary and when the court date came we were ready!! It was a preliminary hearing where the state looks at the facts and decides if there is enough evidence to move to district court ( almost all proceed to district) but not this one . David fluently moved verbally in the court like Michael Jordan would on a basketball court, and within 12 minutes my case was dismissed without prejudice never to be brought back up. The best money I had ever spent since I was looking at potentially 18 months in prison for someone that had never been to jail. David Serna is well versed in New Mexico law and well liked by most prosecutors. He genuinely cared about my situation and wanted to help. I highly recommend him if you find your self in an unfortunate situation as I did.
Review
David Serna has won all three of my cases. He is experienced, well known throughout the courts, and well respected. David makes the process as easy as possible for you. He digs in deep in all of his cases. Mr. Serna fights on your side. For me, in all of my cases, has been very quick to respond and very on top of things He grabs all of the information involving the case such as: video, audio, police reports, etc. If you go through with Mr. Serna to help you on your case, you will not be let down, I assure you. Worth every penny if you are trying to win on your case.
Review
I've known Mr. Serna quite a long time. Unfortunately, I had to retain his services fairly recently. Needless to say my situation was resolved. His professionalism, gave me the comfort to know that my interests were being looked after. I always keep his business card in my wallet and would happily recommend him to anyone. I would say he is one of the best, and I am glad to know him.
Review
I’ve known David as an attorney and as a musician. His talents have been proven in litigation and in life. I recommend David if you need his services. Joseph.

Sam and all the team were very pleasant to work with. Usually you go to a lawyer in difficult situations in life but Sam always made me feel at ease. He is very experienced, professional and straight forward. You can count that Sam will make sure you understand your rights and will fight for them! He ALWAYS kept me up to date with my case and made time for me even after hours. Hiring Sam was the best decision I could have made, I 100% recommend everyone that needs a lawyer to hire him!

I have paid for services there , as have a few friends that I referred. Excellent lawyers. The best.
Review
Everyone working in that office is so pleasant to speak and work with. I started out with Sam who was very knowledgeable and kept it straight to the point. At appropriate times I even took some of the things he said as humerus which really helped me feel more at ease. To better fit the budget I decided to meet Sarah and I don't regret it for one second. She is wonderful, intelligent and seemed to care on a personal level, also making everything more comfortable. I highly recommend that you give one of those two a call should you ever be in need!

The New Mexico Law Offices did an amazing job representing my husband's traffic violations and other charges.. He didn't have to appear in court and was able to retain his CDL A license and all other charges dropped.

They are an outstanding law firm that goes above and beyond ensuring their clients are represented with prompt and efficient services. A five star service with handling our cases. We highly recommend the New Mexico Criminal Law Offices.

Review
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!
