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 past 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!
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 human. 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!!
Simply being accused of a crime can change your life. The penalties of a conviction can haunt you for years after you’ve served your sentence and may affect what kinds of jobs you’re able to obtain and even where you’re allowed to live. Call now.
Sex crimes carry a stigma that goes well beyond that associated with many other crimes, and it takes no more than an accusation to destroy your reputation. You'll need Attorney Mkitarian on your side. Give him a call.
Many people are not aware of the amount of alcohol that equals the legal limit of .08 blood alcohol content, but it is often much lower than you suspect. For many women, simply having more than one drink can put you over the limit.
If your significant other calls the local authorities to report an incident of domestic violence, the authorities will almost surely question you and potentially take you into custody. Contact Attorney Mkitarian today.
Society reserves a special place for child abusers and it is not somewhere you want to be. The problem is that it only takes one accusation and your name could be wrongly grouped with the rest of child abuse offenders.

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 forward that definitely proved that my accuser was lying under oath, getting the entire matter dismissed.

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

By far the best defense experience I have ever encountered.
Mr. Gleria and Mr. Mkhitarian make a fantastic defense team. I was facing multiple charges, strong charges, and from the minute I hired their law firm I knew I had made the right decision.
This pair of highly experienced defense lawyers are sharp, for lack of a better word. They leave nothing overlooked, every piece of information in your case they will use with strong defense. I have never seen or been treated with such kindness from any attorney I've ever encountered. Not only are they patient, they keep you informed of what status your case is at through every step, in words you can understand.
I would highly recommend them. I will not ever recommend another law firm in Albuquerque. They were able to get all the charges against me dismissed. And I know if you are seeking proper council, they will not let you down.
On a side note, one of my charges was an aggravated DUI. During my MVD hearing Mr. Gleria calmly and very rationally put the arresting officer in his place. And my license was never revoked. They both pay such strong attention to detail, these two men are the ones you want on your side.
Thank you again Ken and Jack, you truly represented me well, and I am beyond grateful for your services.

Jacks outstanding
Jack recently represented me in a dwi case. His knowledge of the judge in this case, when to file certain paperwork with the court and overall legal prowess were instrumental in getting my case dismissed.

Excellent attorney
Jack was both knowledgeable and deliberate with my DUI case. He represented me in the MVD case as well as a few court hearings. He got the charges dropped on both cases. Can't thank this firm enough for helping me through all of it.

Excellent consultation
I contacted Jack Mkhitarian to discuss a legal issue that I'm planning to pursue and the services that he provided was just excellent. He is very patient, he listened to all my concerns and explained my options in details. I couldn't hire Jack to work on my case, since I need to file a lawsuit in Texas, but if I had to file in New Mexico, I would definitely go with Jack.

Awesome Attorney
I hired Jack to help my son who had made some bad decisions and was facing some serious consequences. Jack's knowledge and ability to work with the courts enabled my son to avoid jail time and get probation as well as enrolling in some helpful programs. My son has the opportunity to clear his record with a conditional discharge thanks to Jack.

a knowledgeable and conscientious attorney with an amazing court room presents.
Jack Mkhitarian represented me in an aggravated DWI case. Jack encouraged me to have the case heard by a jury at trial, despite the plea offers from the prosecution. I was skeptical at whether the case could be won in court but Jack seemed to be very confident. The day of court came and I was still skeptical. However when I saw Jack in action I was astonished. He was truly a rock star in the court room, from the opening statement to cross-examination of the office to his closing statement everyone in the court room was in awe. He had the office saying at one point that he didn’t trust his own equipment. Mr. Mkhitarian is a smart, knowledgeable and conscientious attorney with an amazing court room presents. Needless to say I was acquitted of the all DWI charges. I would whole heartedly endorse and recommend Mr. Jack Mkhitarian as a defense attorney to anyone facing criminal charges of any kind.

Great Lawyers with outstanding results
The attorneys at New Mexico Criminal Law Offices were a superb support for me during a very difficult time. Kenneth and Jack’s skills and expertise in the area of DWI defense were overwhelmingly evident in the courtroom, and resulted in my case being dismissed. Theses attorneys have a clear and confident manner and legal expertise that was impressive and solid. I would recommend them to anyone who is in search of a lawyer who is fair, skilled, and ethical. Thank you again for giving me my like back.

Super Lawyer
Three lawyers in Albuquerque told me that I couldn't be let off of probation early and that it was impossible. One lawyer even told me he would charge me just to research whether or not he could do it. Jack was a diamond in the rough. After my free consultation he called me back in 3 days and told me he found a good motion that I should file to let me off of probation early. His price was extremely reasonable for the amount of work he did to help me with my problem. He filed my motion and within 3 months I was off of probation permanently and loving life again without having the cops interfering with my everyday life. I'm glad to have found Jack and I feel like he deserves every letter of this review I have written. I have never written a review for anyone, but Jack saved me two and a half years of my life under police rule. He was always polite and professional and I never felt like he was trying to sell me a dream like other lawyers do. Bravo!!!

Best Firm
I had a DWI case and they were total professionals throughout the whole court case. Put my mind at ease and in the end we went to trial and got my case dismissed. Would and have recommended them.
