Combined, the two criminal attorneys bring more than 28 years of legal experience and 400+ resolved cases.
Core Criminal Defense Services:
- DWI Defense: First-offense, repeat, felony, and aggravated DWI; CDL DWI; breathalyzer challenges; license suspension hearings; reckless driving. → Albuquerque DWI Lawyer

Competitive Advantage: Both criminal attorneys previously prosecuted cases for the State of New Mexico — Jonathan Peake for 17 years as an Assistant District Attorney, and Johnna Walker across the Second and Thirteenth Judicial Districts and the Attorney General's Office. That prosecutorial background shapes how the firm identifies procedural and evidentiary weaknesses in the state's case. Jonathan also runs New Mexico Expungement LLC, a practice built specifically around record clearing.
