One Of The Best attorney!

Jack Mkhitarian is one of the best, if not the best attorney out here in New Mexico! I was being charged with 5 counts of sexual penetration for something I didn't commit. The false accusations that lead to these charges affected my life in the most negative way you could possibly think of for the p...ast 2 years. To make matters worse I was still looking at this changing the rest of my life. Luckily, I had Jack on my side and I was not aware of what he was capable of till we went through the process of getting me ready for Trial. I could honestly sit here and tell you so many things about this gentlemen, but words can hardly describe how amazing, professional, and most of all passionate this guy is about the job he does and the clients he represents. Thank you, Jack!

Made the most of of unique evidence to get me exonerated

Jack and his law partner, Kenneth, represented me in a restraining order case in which a girl I had previously dated was attempting to ruin my career because I refused to keep seeing her. The hearings dragged on much longer than we initially expected, but we were able to bring some unique evidence fo...rward that definitely proved that my accuser was lying under oath, getting the entire matter dismissed.

A Brilliant Defense

I found myself facing over 20 years of incarceration for crimes I did not commit. I was nothing short of helpless, and seriously resigned myself to giving up. Little did I know the caliber of the men I had hired to represent me. Jack Mkhitarian is nothing short of a brilliant, humble, and steadfast h...uman. His ability to maintain clarity in the incredibly complex and chaotic process that is the legal system is truly admirable. Though there were myriad details and aspects of my case, he was able to hone in on what mattered, and was able to prove my innocence. Mr. Mkhitarian's performance during the trial that would lead to my freedom was a marvel to behold; he never missed a beat. His partner, Kenneth Gleria, played an integral role in the preparation of my case. Admittedly, as the younger man that I am, I was somewhat unnerved by his demeanor at first: strict, blunt, and entirely focused. However, I came to realize the truth of Mr. Gleria's approach. Simply, Mr. Gleria is so determined to see the case through that he doesn't waste time with unnecessary banter. His logic and reason is unflinching and for good reason: he knows how this world operates. With these two individuals working towards the same defense, there is no stone left unturned, no perspective that they can't account for, and no attempts to hold their clients under any illusions. Thanks to their efforts I was never left unaware of what I was up against, and more importantly, what I could do to defend myself and prove my innocence. These wonderful men are the reason I have my life back, and there is no amount of gratitude that could ever pay them back in kind (especially for Jack Mkhitarian). A remarkable team to say the least!!

DUI first offense

Jack and his partner Kenneth gleria are top notch lawyers with truly your best interest at heart. This being my first offense Rui and have a prior criminal history I was skeptical about my chances in trial but jack and ken made the court proceedings as painless as possible and took care of everything..., they even got my court appearances waived so I didn't have to miss work at all. The day of my trial jack went in for war and ended up getting one officer's testimony suppressed and with out the first officer the prosecution had no choice but to dismiss the case! jack and Kenneth are sharks in a fish pond. I wouldn't hire any other law office to represent me in the future. Thank you again jack and ken
