Best choice for defense attorney

Nicole is the best. She is no nonsense, and honest but she’s tough when it comes to court. She knows the law and she will fight hard for you. She’s the best. I watched her work on Christmas Eve and after hours for justice to prevail. You won’t regret hiring Nicole.

When you meet Nicole Moss you get a high level human being. This is a real person with unmatched skills. The attention to detail that Nicole commits to shows in her instincts regarding taking a case, letting you know the complexity of your case and the legal world, doing thorough investigation/for...ensics, getting your involvement to provide critical details/history, preparing you for court and then taking full charge in the court room to present the facts and make sure that any and all law enforcement personnel are held accountable if they did not do their job and it negatively effected your life. Nicole wins cases because her drive is unwavering and her techniques are excellent. Thanks, Nicole

Out of state dwi

I found myself spending the night in jail after being arrested on suspicion of dwi. Living my life never being arrested and also being out of state created a terrifying position for me to be in. After talking with friends and family I decided to hire an attorney. I saw the reviews online and decided ...to reach out to Nicole. I am glad I did, she turned out the best case scenario case dismissed. Highly recommended

Outstanding Legal Help and Expertise

I contacted Ms. Moss about a legal case I had against myself. From our first meeting she was knowledgable, helpful, and kind. She answered the questions I had without even having to ask them myself. Her knowledge of the New Mexico legal system is vast. She expertly organized a quick defense and we ar...e currently heading to trial and I am confident. During the six months of working with her I have been impressed with her knowledge and demeanor in the court room. All while insuring my rights are not violated while we go through this system. At no point has she ever lied or mislead me on how my case was processing, which may be a first for many lawyers in this town. I would highly recommended her to any relation or stranger off the street. To quote one person I meet who has seen her work over the years "She is scary smart." I couldn't not think of a better way to describe her than that.
