Erlinda O. Johnson

Erlinda Johnson is hands down the absolute best criminal defense attorney in the Albuquerque/ Santa Fe area simply because she will not allow prosecutors to have their way which at times involves over exaggerated charges and sentences. Mrs. Johnson parted an ocean of time for me by getting me a 46 mo...nth plea, probation violation included as I was on federal probation at the time of my 2nd federal meth conspiracy case. Rest assured that Mrs. Johnson will leave no stone unturned and one will be 100% satisfied post sentence. Erlinda Johnson will not sell you out. She is the best.

Erlinda is very good at taking care of her clients. She gives clear, concise direction on what she expects from clients, such as information, affidavits or records. She gave us real hope within the first 3 minutes of our first meeting and sustained our belief in her abilities throughout our entire co...urse of business. She is very knowledgeable about how the laws work and how it applies to each case. She was amazingly responsive to phone calls or emails, and was prompt in her return communications. I would highly recommend her to any of my family and friends. Wonderful experience!

I am familiar with Erlinda's legal work since she was first licensed, 21 years ago. She is excellent in whatever role she's in. I've worked cases against her, with her and we've represented co-defendants. She was a hard hitting but fair ADA and AUSA. It was a gift to the criminal defense community... when she began representing Defendants. She's raised the bar in the quality of work we see from defense lawyers. She explores every aspect of an investigation and is creative in finding shortcomings in the prosecutions' cases. She is an incredible writer and a fierce litigator. She will find holes in cases others may see as unwinnable. The results she's obtained for her clients are a testament to her talent and intellect. Erlinda is generous in sharing her knowledge and experience with others. She is a source often turned to for advice and guidance on complex legal issues. She has an impeccable reputation and is a leading, if not the best, federal criminal litigator in the State. She is able to balance this toughness with a compassion and understanding for her clients and their situations.

Top notch attorney! Amazing litigator! Very knowledgeable! Will aggressively fight for you armed with knowledge and experience without compromising integrity and ethics. I assure you that she will give your case all she has, accurately assess your situation and steer the case in the direction which ...will give you the absolute best outcome. Ms. Johnson represented our son in a complicated and difficult case. The outcome of the case was far beyond our expectations. This great attorney immersed herself into the case and worked tirelessly for our son. She took time to keep us informed, explain the process step by step and was frequently in contact with our son from beginning to end. We felt she truly cared and that we were not just another client. Her knowledge of the law, obvious competence, care and compassion gave us a great sense of comfort and hope.
