Areas of Practice

  • Arima Law provides comprehensive DWI defense for first-time offenders through subsequent charges. We handle every stage of the case, including MVD license revocation hearings, arraignments, pretrial motions, plea negotiations, and trial. Whether you are facing a first offense or a felony-level aggravated DWI, we build a tailored defense strategy aimed at protecting your license, your record, and your future.

  • Arima Law defends clients against a wide range of misdemeanor charges in New Mexico courts. These include battery, assault, domestic violence, shoplifting, criminal damage to property, resisting or evading arrest, disorderly conduct, trespassing, possession of drug paraphernalia, simple drug possession, public intoxication, and violations of restraining or protective orders. We also represent clients charged with driving offenses such as reckless driving, driving with a revoked or suspended license, and careless driving. Every case is handled with a strategic, personalized defense focused on protecting your rights, your record, and your long-term stability.

  • Arima Law provides strategic and aggressive defense for clients facing felony charges at all levels. We handle fourth, third, second, and first-degree felony cases, including but not limited to drug trafficking, aggravated assault and battery, residential and commercial burglary, robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm, white collar offenses, and felonies involving repeat DWI charges. We also defend clients charged with probation violations and enhancement-based felonies arising from prior convictions or aggravating circumstances. From grand jury investigation through trial, we deliver meticulous, client-centered representation designed to challenge the state’s case and secure the best possible outcome.

  • In addition to criminal defense, Arima Law represents clients in related legal matters where government overreach or misconduct has caused serious harm. We pursue civil rights claims arising from unlawful arrests, excessive force, jail or prison abuse, denial of medical care while in custody, and other violations of constitutional rights by law enforcement or correctional authorities. We also defend individuals facing civil protective orders tied to criminal allegations and advise on collateral consequences such as professional licensing issues and school disciplinary actions. Every case is approached with a deep understanding of the system, a commitment to accountability, and a focus on justice for those harmed by state power.
