also known as Jeff Lahann
I started The Lahann Law Firm on January 1, 2007, with a mission of being the best criminal defense attorney in Southern New Mexico. I’ve enjoyed a great deal of success as a criminal defense attorney and nothing thrills me more than winning legal battles on behalf of my clients. I can’t win every case, but I think my clients know that I’ve done everything I can to help them through the most difficult time in their lives.
Most of my clients come to me because they have been referred to me by former clients, or by police officers and prosecutors. I’m proud of my reputation and I work hard to keep it up. I was both humbled and honored recently when I was notified by the Las Cruces Sun-News that I had won their Readers’ Choice Award for “Best Attorney” in Las Cruces for 2012. It is a terrific honor but I don’t see it as “mission-accomplished.” There’s still a lot of work to be done helping good people fight their criminal charges; I think my best days are still ahead of me.

Jeff was highly recommended by my cousin's friend whom she had graduated law school with years ago. She said I needed a "damn good attorney" and that's exactly what I got. From the moment I met with Jeff, I knew he had something other attorney's don't..."He genuinely cares about his client's outcome....

Hands down the best attorney in the area. Mr. Lahann is ethical, straight-forward, and extremely intelligent! He has been my attorney for various cases over the past 5 years and he has never let me down. His presence in the court room is powerful, however it's his diligence and compassion for each c...
"Mr. Lahann is a great attorney. I've seen him in court, both state and federal, more times than I can count, and he has always done an excellent job for his clients. He is also respected by judges, prosecutors and fellow defense attorneys. I highly recommend him."
"Jeff is one of the best criminal defense lawyers in southern New Mexico. He is a fearless courtroom attorney with an excellent presence in front of the jury. A few years ago, I referred a friend to him that was facing serious charges that could have had detrimental effect on his future employment opportunities. Jeff got the most serious charges dropped and my friend did no jail time. Since I mostly specialize in civil law, I usually cannot help clients or friends that need the assistance of a criminal defense attorney. I would recommend Jeff to anyone."
"Mr. Lahann is a well respected and knowledgable attorney. He cares about his clients and their cases. I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal help."
