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 are 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.

Trustworthy Attorney
Nicole was my attorney during a difficult work related battle which required I hire an attorney. Nicole was extremely professional, experienced and most importantly caring. It is not easy to find these qualities in any person!!

Won my case and saved my life!!!
I can't say enough good things about Ms. Moss. She was very knoledgeable, took the time to explain everything to me and always answered my questions. She visited me when I was locked up and kept my family informed of court settings too. She got all the charges dismissed and saved my life from being destroyed by lies.

Excellent
Mrs Moss went above and beyond as my lawyer while handling my court case. She is personable, very knowledgable, and over all a caring and companionate person. These qualities are difficult to come across and very greatful that she was representing me.

Honest, reliable, and all around great attorney!
Nicole and her staff were wonderful to work with. She fought hard for my case and always kept my interests in mind. As a result of her hard work my case got dismissed. When working with her I could tell she was very respected by other attorneys and the Judges. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone who will fight for them.
