Criminal Law

Grieta Gilchrist, Attorney at Law, Albuquerque, New Mexico

There are many different crimes that an individual can be charged with or arrested for.  However, the standard of proof is the same for all crimes charges -- the state or the government must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you are guilty. The standard of proof is so high because of the serious consequences a criminal conviction can bring, such as jail and/or fines, plus the loss of future job or career opportunities as a result of a criminal conviction. 

As a criminal defense lawyer, it is my job to advocate for you and to protect your rights that you are entitled to as a defendant in a criminal case. I will meet with you to discuss your arrest and the charges filed against you.  I will investigate the government's evidence and witnesses against you as well as investigate the evidence and witnesses for you. Each individual case has its own unique facts and you deserve a lawyer who will take the time to look at your case and fight for you against the state or the government.
