Traffic Citation Dismissal!

Mr. Valdez and his team are pros and very courteous. I'm an OTR Truck Driver and got a ticket in New Mexico near Corrizozzo. It's a bit of a speed trap out there. I got clocked at 70 in a 55 late at night , because of the constant changes of speed signs, it's hard to keep up. The trooper that pull...ed me was known for being a tough opponent to contest tickets. Mr. Valdez and crew advised me of my options, and went to bat for me. All of this was done while I was out on the road, I NEVER had to set foot in a courtroom. I would go to them again IF the need ever arises. His team is knowledgeable of the unique NM laws and will have your back every time.

Honest & efficient

When I discovered that there was an unpaid traffic ticket and court fines (from almost 8 years ago) in new Mexico , I called Mr. Valdez's office immediately. I live on the east coast and needed representation to get this resolved quickly. Mr. Valdez's staff is reassuring, efficient and thorough. Th...e failure to appear was resolved in less than 3 days, the ticket was dismissed shortly thereafter. I even called on a Sunday to leave a message and Mr. Valdez not only answered the phone, he took his time to answer my questions and walk me through the process to help ease sind of my anxiety. I highly recommend Mr. Valdez and his team!

"Glenn is the utmost professional. A family member from out of state needed local New Mexico counsel to deal with a matter and was fortunate to have Glenn represent him. Glenn is extremely knowledgeable and provided a clear understanding of the case and the likelihood of the outcome of the case. The case was dismissed, just as Glenn explained was the most probable outcome based on the facts. I endorse Glenn."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
